As a freelancer, the organization is everything. You’ve only got 24 hours in a day, and roughly half of them should be allotted to rest. You’d like to use the remainder productively, but the entire world seems aligned against that. Work comes in waves, and when it rains it pours. You’ve got valued clients who need something done in 24 hours, and then you’ve got others who asked you to schedule in a half-hour slot three months ago. Good luck at remembering it all!
If you’ve checked your iPad mini 6 for organizational apps, you’ll have discovered more options than you can try in your lifetime. It’s hard to sort out the good, bad, and middling, and if you start out wrong you’ll only waste more of that precious time. Here’s what you want to have downloaded on that iPad— the top three apps to stay organized. Productivity doesn’t have to be a struggle!. Get our best iPad mini case by zugucase to protect your iPad

Todoist
Many freelancers consider Todoist the best to-do list app available today, and all the big review sites agree. It works on all your devices— phone, iPad, and desktop computer. There’s support for both Windows and Mac, and the app is cloud-based, which means it syncs automatically between all your devices.
There’s a Gmail integration, which means you can convert your emails into tasks with one click. You can actually add any articles or websites from anywhere on the web, and they’ll go straight to your Todoist inbox, where you can make them into full-fledged to-dos.
Many people love the voice commands; tell your Todoist you need to buy milk at 6 o’clock, and it’s there on your schedule. You’ll get a reminder when six o’clock comes, nothing further is needed. You can also use natural language to input your list, and the app will convert it to tasks. Got a list of things to do from a client, coworker, or boss? Copy-paste it into the app, then divide it into separate items. The process is easy and intuitive.
Downsides to todoist? There’s no time tracking or micro scheduling, so if these are important to you, you’re out in the cold. If you don’t have the cash to shell out on the premium version, Todoist is also underwhelming— but what isn’t? Advertising overdone, and features limited. But they have to pay their developers, so there’s that.
Things 3
Things 3 is like Todoist, just different. Users gush about the intuitive, easy-to-use app, the ergonomic interface, and the way it integrates oh-so-smoothly into the iOs interface.
Things 3 is not as feature-rich as other articles in its competition. It doesn’t have any collaboration options, for one, and there is no web app or Windows version. What Things 3 does have in its favor is some uber-talented designers who worked to make this to-app user-friendly and well-optimized for productivity.
Distraction, clutter, and learning curves are all words that don’t belong anywhere near this app. The simple, clean design allows you to focus on what matters: making your to-do list, then getting that list done. Keyboard shortcuts allow you to spend the minimum possible time prepping your list— which means more time to actually do it.
Subtasks are one thing Things 3 does well. Group your subtasks into projects, and you’ll be able to track your progress on that project’s completion as the circle on your task list fills up.
Things 3 also offers a fairly sophisticated tagging system that works well with David Allen’s Getting Things Done (GTD) system. Add in the context of a task— office? Computer? Home? And you’ll be able to refer back to it when you’re right in the perfect environment for getting that done.
Things 3 has no free version, but uses a one-time purchase model rather than a subscription and, if you use it for longer than a month, the price ends up being very reasonable. If you’d like to have a look first, the MacOs app offers a 15-day trial.
Momento
Our third organizational app not billed as a to-do list— instead, it’s a kind of journal on steroids. Not a sappy, school-days crush kind of journal— a high-powered, well-managed way of ordering your life.
Momento doesn’t just keep track of what you write down in the app. Integrating with all your favorite social media apps and websites such as Medium and Flickr, it draws in everything you write and update over the course of your daily workflow. This makes it a surprisingly efficient way to journal and means you don’t have to repeat yourself a thousand times— if you posted it on Facebook, your Moments has got it marked down in your records.
Keeping a record of what you’ve accomplished turns out to be one of the easiest ways to boost your productivity. Tags allow you to keep your professional life separate from your personal story, and custom reminders help you stay on top of what you want to record.
Looking back with Momento is easy too. Your moments—- from Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Spotify, or anywhere you happen to have left your footprint— are grouped by day on a timeline. You can look back by day, month, or year, and use built-in summaries to glance back at what’s been going on in your life. You can also export the data as plain text or share day summaries, photo grids, or particular moments in your day. As a freelancer, the organization is everything. You’ve only got 24 hours in a day, and roughly half of them should allotted to rest. How to spend the rest productively? Luckily, there’s an app for that.
Momento is free to use, but that only gives you the ability to make one integration— so if you’re hoping for efficient, no-effort journaling where your app pulls in all your social media accounts, you’ll have to pay. There’s not much free anymore these days, that’s for sure.
Download these three apps for organization, and see which one brings the most to your busy workday. Is it Todoist, Things 3, or Momento? Or is there something you like better? We’d love to hear about it— let us know in the comments.
