How do i work?
This is usually asked question... currently I have tried to streamline and make it simple to manage digital content, waste and distractions...So, my current work-flow consists of three hardware devices: iMac 27", iPad and iPhone 6S+. So basically I'm using iCloud ecosystem (email, calendar, photos, contacts are in sync). I have tried several other cloud storage services like Dropbox, Sugarsync and OneDrive.
They all have pros and cons... However, my current setup is purely Apple ecosystem. No special reason for that but that at least works for me.
Favourite Software?
1. For OS X (Yosemite)
So, my typical day starts with Yosemite's Calendar app and I also use OS X's default Mail app for email. Other key apps are; Wunderlist for tasks and Evernote for notes.
Other software are PowerPoint for slides, Pixelmator for graphics...
Usually i use several type of browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome or Opera), no preferences there... Unfortunately every service doesn't work with each browser.
Good audio software for composing; Logic Pro, Renoise and good old open source sample editor Audacity.
If you just want to listen to music i prefer YouTube or Spotify.
2. For iOS (iPad and iPhone)
On iPad and iPhone my favourite email app is Microsoft's Outlook, check it out! It's good.
It's great all-in-one app since it includes email, calendar, files (supports cloud services like OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, GoogleDrive, iCloud) and contacts. Sporadically I use separate calendar app e.g. Sunrise.
Key daily apps are:
- FB Messenger (some people use that frequently)
- WhatsApp (my main messaging app)
- Pinterest for checking ideas and new stuff
- Scannable (for Evernote) - excellent document scanning app
- Evernote - writing memos...
- Kindle (iBooks) - reading ebooks
- Wunderlist (as in OS X) - task reminders
- Deezer / Spotify for listening to music
- Twitter for broadcasting :-)
I'll be back more about those things. Let this be an introduction. Welcome!
