When workloads suddenly seemed to triple in March 2020 and there were barely enough hours in the day to fit all the preparation, teaching, and marking that we all had to do, we had to learn some new tricks pretty fast, right? A number of apps and organization techniques came to the rescue and kept my head just above the water throughout that chaotic year and into 2021.With the help of the tools and techniques I put into place just to get through each week, I’m now finding that my productivity and efficiency are just blazing, and I’m getting everything done without stress, anxiety, or the exhaustion of juggling ten balls at once.I’d like to share what I’ve learned and developed over the last 18 months that has made my professional life as smooth and frictionless as I think I could reasonably hope for! I’m going to discuss mainly iOS apps, but they’ll have Android/Windows equivalents: 2Do, 1Timer, Reminders, Hindsight, and a Keynote planning hack.The way I’ve come to use these indispensable tools is already proving to be my main pandemic takeaway.If there’s time, let’s discuss your productivity hacks, too.
