Due to the unfortunate circumstances caused by the deadly coronavirus, most of us have been forced to work from home. And while some people already had practice working from home, not all of us were prepared for it. When you are working from home, you have the luxury to work from the comfort of your bed wearing your PJs all day. But where one aspect of working from home is relaxing, it has several other challenges as well. You don’t want yourself to get distracted all the time by your family members, and you also don’t want to feel like you lack resources to finish your projects. In this article, I have mentioned a few apps that will make working from home easier for you. Let’s take a look:
Slack
One of the major hurdles you face when you are working from home is team communication. The things you were able to discuss in meetings or the way you were able to work on a project together all day would not be possible from home. But you can still establish a good way of communication where everyone will stay updated and in touch all the time with the help of Slack. The app was designed specifically for office communications keeping the remote workers in mind. With Slack, you can initiate calls, create groups, and share files without uploading it to another cloud platform, all with the help of one app.
Soda PDF
Managing your documents while working from home can also be a challenge. But you can organize all your documents and files the right way with the help of Sodapdf. It is an app that is designed specifically for pdf documents, and you can use it to edit, convert, or merge them. It also has the e-signature feature, which means if you have to sign any important work documents from home, you would not have to wait for the postman to arrive. The app is available on both PC and as well as mobile phones.
Google Drive
If you have not heard of Google Drive yet, then you are not working from the right way. Google Drive is online cloud-based storage that has plenty of features to make work from home easy for you. For example, you can upload your Microsoft Office documents on Google Drive and can share it with any other team member live. And that is not it; it also allows multiple people to work on a single document, which means you can work together with your team on a single document.
Toggl
You may have experienced that it is very easy to lose track of time when you are working from home. Sometimes you will end up putting too much time in one project, and sometimes you will just overwork yourself. With the help of Toggl you can keep track of time and can make sure that you are giving enough time to all of your projects. The app is very simple to use, as all you have to do is turn on time tracking when you start a project, and at the end of the day, it will deliver you a detailed report as well.
