In the fast-paced world that we live in today; we all have a lot of things to do, but not enough time to do them. So, we try to rely upon some applications (tools) in order to increase our efficiency, and what better software to rely upon other than the first on our list Notion?
List of 5 Best Productivity Apps for 2023
1. Notion

This app is a lifesaver for those of you who live cluttered lives and need to get a lot of things done in a very short amount of time. Have you ever wondered what impact can well note-taking software have on your life if your life depends on it? Oh, my my, I could not explain to you the mental clarity one has after writing/verbalizing all the mess in your head onto a software. This software is not only a note-taking app but a note-making app too. For those of you who do not know the difference between note-taking and note-making. Click here for Note Taking v/s Note Making.
The simplest way to explain to you how significant impact a simple software can have on an individual can be simply explained by a person who is striving vs the one who is thriving.
2. YouTube

I know, I know what you might be thinking here, YouTube. what good can YouTube do to my life instead of just wasting some precious hours of my life? And However, this might be true to a certain extent but a huge part of the problem that YouTube arises is that of making you a passive consumer rather than an active one. One would rather prefer to use YouTube in a healthy way instead of wasting time-consuming its content.
But how can you do that in 2023?
Often, the answers to the most perplexing questions are simple ones. The BEST way one can become a healthy active consumer of YouTube is not by not using YouTube at all and going cold turkey. NO, but to make content on YouTube such that one might start a passive earning as well as a producer too. I believe all of us have talent locked inside of us waiting to be discovered but the talent often remains untouched unless one is forced to take action. And in order to start the process of initiating action one has to actively produce and not keep consuming because not producing something valuable is a concrete road to failure.
3. Google Drive

Ah, the feeling you desperately need to find a file and you haven’t been able to find it since the dawn of the day. You are fed up, and so is your computer. How many times will you keep on repeating the same mistake again? Grow up, man/woman! Use Google Drive. (Or any other online cloud-based storage systems) just to ensure the virality of your files. (And to never forget/accidentally delete them)
Sometimes the Productivity apps we are looking for are right in front of our eyes but our eyes refuse to look upon them. It’s not what your eyes see, but it’s what you want them to see and what you choose to look at. Well, the stupid rant aside, I personally use Google Drive because I think it’s more convenient than any other cloud-based storage system. But to each his own.
4. ShareX

Why BEST you asked? Let me tell you…ShareX is the best free open-source tool for capturing screenshots.
First, It’s Advertisement Free, Open Source, and Lightweight. There are a ton of different screenshot-capturing methods to choose from. From Fullscreen Screenshots to Custom Region (Rectangle, Elliptical, or by Freehand) After capturing a screenshot it automatically copies it to the clipboard and unlike the default windows screen capture snipping tool it also allows a person to Screen Record or marks within the app and it also uploads your screenshots to Imgur
One can also easily record GIFs and customize shortcuts for individual features within the app. This powerful screenshot application is fully customizable according to one’s own preference. Woah, these features are just the tip of the iceberg. There are much more things within this application that are much more fascinating when one ACTUALLY uses and applies it. For Example one of the features uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to identify text in the captured screenshot and then copies the text from the captured screenshots and pastes it to the clipboard; from there one can either use the copy or paste it on the spot or he/she can also translate it to other languages.
5. YouTube (Again?)

Yes, you read it right, YouTube has made a comeback ladies and gentlemen into our list…
Well, if the first time my suggestion to you was to produce something on YouTube but now if you didn’t seem to have nice fancy equipment to make YouTube videos I am to at least request you to start sitting on #Studywithme live streams and watch those people studying rather than just doom scrolling to YouTube Shorts or watching reels for wasting more time.
Have you ever felt like you are exhausted even after watching Shorts and not doing any tiring work? Well, my friend, that’s a symptom of something bigger. That’s vaguely a doubt. But if you start to spend your time on this # Studywithme Livestream you will encounter a surge of motivation after observing/watching them after a while.
Don’t believe me? Try it out yourself. But wait, that’s not all; in our list of the 5 Best Productivity Apps here is a bonus one:
