April Forum
Two main topics were discussed.
1. What is your relationship with your mobile phone? Guidelines to help you manage it:
– keep your phone on silent
– turn off notifications
– sort apps into folders or just use the app library, delete apps no longer needed
– having social media on your phones was a split call.
– NO phone for first 30/60 mins in the morning, or last thing at night.
– have separate work and private phones
2. Apps that our members use that improve your effectiveness – this touched on some for personal use, too:
– sanebox – AI for your e mails, learned behaviours leading to auto-sorting
– seatfrog – train upgrades to 1st class
– what3 words – for travel, more pinpointed than Waze e.g. if just post code.
– intromate / imovie- for short videos
– picturethis / seek – for nature, flora, fauna and wildlife identification
– ways – navigation, inc. speed cameras
– duolingo – languages
– headspace – meditation, sleeping
– microsoft to do – links to 365
– lastpass – password security
– authy – double authentification
– voicemail – email notifications for voicemail messages
– exclaimer – email signature management
