MY FAVORITE APPS

HAYSTACK | THE NEW BUSINESS CARD Picture this. You are at a networking event. You forget your business cards or you just can’t seem to find them. By the end of the night you have 50 cards from people and you end up only reaching out to 1-2 of them. Within two weeks you throw the

card away because you forget who the person is. Sound familiar?

Network Efficiently.Haystack scans business cards and prompts you to exchange information in return. Set up your initial exchange message and add contact on Linkedin. You will be sure to impress your new connection with your quickness

Stay Organized.As you collect business cards with Haystack, you can sort them by company, recently added, or A-Z. Reduce the amount of business cards you find randomly when cleaning out your office or jacket pockets.

Stay Connected.Haystack collects phone and email information so reconnecting is as easy as a touch of a button. Add notes to remember what the initial conversation was and export email information for your newsletter or business.

TAB! | SPLIT THE BILL HEADACHE-FREE Nothing is more awkward than going out for appetizers and dinner with work friends and trying to figure out the bill. No one wants to really take charge, especially when the bill is complicated. As a former employee that previously worked in the food

industry knows how frustrating it is to split the bill.

Take Charge.Tab scans your bill and allows you to separate each item, add tax and tip, and viola! The app will do the math and you can be the leader. Let everyone know exactly how much they owe.

Save Receipts.Does everyone need their itemized tab for business purposes? Tab will take a picture of your receipt and you can text it to everyone.

Save Time.You will be saving time for your server, your party, and yourself which in result will make everyone happier. There will be no time spent writing out numbers on the back of napkins and figuring out who’s who.

SPOTIFY | FOR SELF IMPROVEMENTIt’s the new year and you want to improve yourself. When you think of self-improvement it never means more netflix… but it

is so addicting! We are surrounded by media so it is hard to completely disconnect at all times when we have free time. So what do you do when you find yourself wanting to reach for the remote?

Podcasts.Spotify has the greatest self improvement collections of podcasts. Try out Art of Charm by Jordan Harbinger. He interviews tons of book authors and highly influential entrepreneurs. He will inspire you to pick up one of their books and read.

Ted Talks.Did you know Spotify had videos as well? There is a plethora of Ted Talks here with categories ranging from “Strapped for Cash” to “Election 2016: Clarified.” You’ll learn a lot of useful information that makes great conversation starters.

Multitask.If you are always on the go, Spotify has audio books and even has tracks to learn a new language. Comedy is also a great way to improve your mood and contains some hilarious skits ranging from Robin Williams to John Mulaney.

SWORKIT | EFFICIENT FITNESS FOR RESULTSExercising is something we have to train ourselves to appreciate and until then, we have every excuse. There’s no time in my

schedule, I travel too often, I don’t know what I am doing, there are way too many exercises. I want results but I don’t want to overthink working out.

Exercise Anywhere.Sworkit is a body weight app that has customizable workouts that can be created for any situation or location. Small space with neighbors below? Yoga, pilates, cardio, boot camp, stretching, strength, Sworkit has it all.

Health-Standard Workouts.Take pride in your workouts knowing that Sworkit was the only app to be approved by the ACSM according to Florida University. Not to mention the exercise library was created by former military members.

Start at Any Level.Whether you use the app alone or with a friend, there is exercises for every fitness level. You can experiment with the time intervals, rest breaks, and types of workouts. Choose a plan: Leaner, Fitter, Stronger.

MINT | SETTING FINANCIAL GOALSNo matter how much money you have, or don’t have, do you know exactly where the money is going? Where do you go wrong

and where can you save more money? With multiple credit cards and a mortgage and student loans, it’d be so nice to have a

Streamline.Add all of your credit cards, assets, savings accounts, etc to this app. You’ll be able to set goals for each account and see how well each of your account is doing separately or how well all of your accounts are doing.

Find Savings.With the spending trends, you can see where your money is being spent most. Mint even sends customized advice. If you are spending a lot of money on groceries, it’ll give you tips on how to save.

Budget.If you seem to spend too much money on coffee during the week, you can set a limit on how much to spend at coffee shops. Your phone will send you a notification when you are getting close to your limit.

VENMO | THE NEW MONEY EXCHANGEYou have a friend that never has cash or their wallet on them. They always seem to say, “I’ve got you next time.” Maybe you want to congratulate someone on a new promotion quickly without just saying it. You want to remind your roommate they

owe you rent, without seeming pushy and overbearing.

Send in Celebration.Venmo is the perfect app to send money to a friend or colleague who is celebrating something special. Add your bank account and connect with friends from Facebook and your contacts. Send a quick note, may I suggest, “Next round on me Congrats”

Pay someone back.Whether you owe a friend or your friend owes you, Venmo eliminates the awkward, “How much did I owe you again” situations. Eliminate the need for time keeping track of who owes who. Transfer the money right to your bank.

Get Creative.With the growing popularity of Venmo, apps such as Tab! are joining forces. You can even use Venmo as a way to raise money for your favorite charity.

RECIPE BOOK | GROCERIES MADE EASYTrying a new recipe is fun and exciting but figuring out groceries can be a bit of a process, especially when you aren’t sure what

you already have. Finding the time to sit down and write everything out recipe by recipe and grocery item by grocery item seems tedious so you go to the grocery store and buy as much as you think you might need, only to go home and remember

you forgot chicken broth for chicken noodle soup.

Add Recipes.The recipe book imports recipes from all the best recipe sites including Food Network, AllRecipes, MyRecipes, and more. You can even add recipes from Pinterest. This can be your one stop shop to all things cooking

Host a Dinner Party.You can add all your grandmas secret recipes to this app and adjust how many people you are cooking for. If people loved your menu and you are okay with sharing it, there is a way to send your recipe book, too!

Quick List.Once you pick your recipes for the week, press the cart icon in the corner and the ingredients will add to your list. All you have to do is hit export and you can send it to your email or easily print it.

BUFFER | PLAN YOUR SOCIAL MEDIAHaving a social presence is beneficial for almost all professions, unless you are in the CIA. So how do you make sure that you

are giving great content and not all at once when it hits you you haven’t posted in a month and finally have the time to fill your feed with content?

Schedule anywhere.Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, and Google+, will be at your fingertips! All you have to do is open the app, select which accounts you’d like to schedule to, and pick the date and time. Spread out content so your not over posting or under posting!

Check your Analytics.Posting a link? You can use the buffer analytics to see how many people clicked. That way you will be able to check what intrigues your family and friends.

Share Again.Sometimes we have content that does really well! It doesn’t hurt to repost it after a month or two. You can revisit your previous posts and reschedule for another date.

BE SMART WITH YOUR SMARTPHONE
