The Smart Tricks Hidden In Your PC

You are always on your smartphone, all loaded with different apps, making things simpler and easier for you. But what about your PC? Are you just using it to feed data... manually? Well, there are many smart tools and apps that you can use to automate work and make things faster and easier for you. Here's a quick start. 

1.Cross-posting on social media

If you are one who wants to post regularly on your social media sites and get regular followers, here are a few apps that can allow you to do so. Buffer, HootSuite, and TweetDeck are just a few popular examples of social media management applications that can allow you to schedule all the files that should be posted at a specific time. All you need to do is set the time at which the file should be posted and upload the file. 

2. Managing email newsletter subscriptions

You will understand the pain to divide them into important and unimportant ones, after you login to your Gmail account after a month. Believe me, you will have at least 10-15 subscribed emails which go on increasing with your network.  Unroll.me is the tool you need to tackle newsletter management. It can help to unsubscribe emails with one click and also send you one mail that has all the important details. 

3. Check traffic and weather

Generally, you manually check the traffic updates and the weather condition of the place where you are heading to. Waze app  is the world's largest community-driven traffic and navigation app that you can also use to get instant alerts in your area about accidents and other traffic-related problems on the road. There are many apps that can help you to get the weather update as well. 

4. Backup

I make it a point to spend (actually waste) my one whole day backing up all the data and photos. Won't it be good if your photos and videos get automatically updated with a single click? If you have an Apple device, set up iCloud Drive and if you have an Android phone, use the Google Photos feature. 

5. Building playlists

Building playlists can be easy with Spotify, which offers unlimited access to millions of songs. With so much variety of songs available you will need to build a playlist which you can do it ease.

6. Planning your diet

Eat This Much is a service that helps you stick to a healthy diet by automatically planning out all your meals for you. This app helps you attain diet goals and also plan your next day’s meal along with the proper recipe mentioned.  Even if you are following the recipe, you can take the tips from this app and cook something relevant.

7. Saving links

When you come across a link which you cannot fully read at the moment, you need to cut the URL and save it somewhere in your emails or document.  Evernote is a cloud-based productivity platform that helps you collect and organize your own files and stuff you find on the web -- even on the mobile.

8. Reply to mail

How much time do you spend on replying to all the emails? While most of us prefer sending personalized messages, typing the same message, again and again, has no logic in itself. Boomerang for Gmail is another great tool worth checking out, which allows you to schedule emails to be sent out at a later time and date. You can write the message and schedule it according to your priority.
