Which Productivity Tool is Best for You as a Business Traveler?

Make the most of your time away from home with tools and apps designed with you in

mind.

Tools of all types exist to increase efficiency, streamline tasks, and give you better

control of your schedule no matter how busy it is. If you haven’t had the opportunity to

explore the timesaving tools available for business travelers, now is the time to do so.

You’ll be amazed at how quickly and effortlessly things get done when you’re well-

equipped with the right software, apps, and processes.

Here are some of the productivity tools you have to choose from:

• The Pomodoro Technique. Any kitchen timer, stopwatch, or timing app will do. The idea behind the Pomodoro Technique is to pick a task, work on it

  uninterrupted for twenty-five minutes, take a short break, and set the timer again

  until the task is complete. It emphasizes the importance of single-tasking versus

  multitasking. It also allows you to stretch, get a drink of water, or take a short

  walk before starting the entire process again.

• Virtual Calendar Software. It doesn’t matter which system works best for you. It

  only matters that you’re able to sync your calendar across all of your devices.

  That way, you’re able to refer to your schedule no matter where you are and how

  you’re accessing the information (by phone, tablet or computer). You can update

  your calendar in real-time and avoid wasting precious time writing entries into an

  analog version of a planner.

• IFTTT. Standing for “If This, Than That,” this free option helps your apps and

  devices work together seamlessly. It’s essentially a huge timesaver because it

  allows you to automate things that you ordinarily do manually such as update

  social media posts, send birthday greetings to work colleagues, and use your

  smart speaker to update your virtual calendar for you.
