In a recent podcast of ours, we spent some time talking about our favorite apps. We ended up compiling a whole list of the ones we enjoy the most, and today I’d like to share my top three contenders with you. My favorite apps are:

1. Blinkist: I love to read, but it’s hard to find the time to do so. Fortunately, apps like Blinkist make it a lot easier to fill my life with books again. It offers about 4,500 nonfiction books and breaks each one down into 15-minute packages. You can drive from your home to the office and have an entire book read to you. Though it just hits the highlights, it’s a great way to learn—and you can always buy the book if you really enjoy it.

2. TripIt: When the world opens back up again and you’re able to travel, this app will make everything a whole lot easier. How it works is when you book a trip, everything associated with it goes through the app. Instead of fumbling through multiple emails, tickets, rentals, and reservations, everything is organized and easily accessible inside the TripIt app.

3. Timeshifter: This is another great one for travel, especially when taking international flights. Jet lag can be devastating, but Timeshifter works by helping you alter your sleep patterns 72 hours before the trip so that you won’t be jet-lagged when you arrive. It may tell you to go to bed at midnight instead of 9 p.m. one night, for example, and this helps your body adjust to the new time zone.

I hope you found out about a new app that can help you in your day-to-day life. Let me know what you think, and feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have.
