While all these apps are fantastic for work, many may come in handy for organizing your personal life, as well. Here, we’ve compiled some of the best ways you can use the Apple Watch to improve your productivity. For example, an email notification on your Watch can discretely let you know that a meeting has been put on your calendar while you’re sitting in another one. Using your Apple Watch for important notifications such as email and texts can be a great way to stay on top of things without having to check your phone. Think about some of the time-sensitive things you do on a daily basis and consider giving Siri a try. It can take a while to get used to, but using Siri on your wrist is quick, easy, and can save you a ton of time and keep you on task. You may not always reply immediately, but it’s nice to be aware of what’s going on behind the scenes. You can also respond to Slack messages directly from your wrist. It’s admittedly a bit awkward, depending on the intricacy on your message. But just like text messages and emails, you can use preset messages to make communicating faster and easier. You can also dictate messages using your voice, although depending on the length of your message this can be problematic. One solution is to change one of the preset messages in your Apple Watch to something like, “I’m away from my computer right now. I’ll get back to you soon.” This will let people know that you’ve seen their message but you’re otherwise engaged at the moment. With the Trello Apple Watch app, you can add new tasks, check out when your current tasks are due, and respond to comments from collaborators. Much like Slack, Trello is one of those things you want to stay on top of. Trello’s Apple Watch app is another way to keep up with what’s going on in with tasks and projects, even though you might not personally be there to handle them at the time. Trello also has a full-featured iOS app, allowing you to seamlessly transition between devices to handle any task while on the move. The Watch app is designed to work seamlessly with the iPhone app, so if you’re looking on something on your wrist and need a bigger view, opening the app up on your iPhone should bring you to the same page you were viewing on your wrist. Evernote can be great for keeping track of to-do lists, but it can also be a storage space for articles you’ve found interesting or even recipes you want to try.
