In daily life, some activities occur frequently, such as diary recording, business card scanning, inspiration recording, party reading, etc. These life scenes are very fragmented. In fragmented scenes, using appropriate APP tools can manage fragmented time and greatly improve the efficiency of time use.
(I) Diary recording tool
Zeng Zi said: “I examine myself three times a day.” Keeping a diary is a very meaningful thing for everyone. It is helpful to review what you do every day, find your shortcomings, and then improve yourself. However, it is impossible to carry a notebook with you at all times, so it is very convenient to use a diary APP on your mobile phone to keep a diary.
Recommend two diary tools: Dayone (Apple) and OWN (Android/Apple).
On the diary interface of Dayone, just click the corresponding button to start recording pictures, sounds, and texts. It is very easy to use.
The principles of keeping a diary are as follows:
(1) Selection principle: Don’t record everything in detail, but record important nodes and events;
(2) Brief principle: Record the event in 1~2 sentences, or add 1~2 pictures;
(3) Immediate principle: Record immediately after experiencing an event to avoid forgetting;
(4) Review principle: Review the day’s experience that night and summarize your experience.
(II) Business card scanning tool
You will receive a lot of business cards when you go out to socialize and attend exhibitions. Business cards represent the information of the people you have come into contact with. If you enter the email address, address and other information on the business card into the table one by one, it will take a lot of time and energy. You can use an APP – Business Card King. After opening the Business Card King APP, take a photo of the business card, and the business card information will be directly entered into the phone. It is very convenient.
(III) Inspiration Recording Tool
Inspiration and creativity are very mysterious. You may have had this experience: you suddenly think of a brilliant idea that can impress customers, or there is a problem that has not been solved for a long time. Suddenly you think of a good solution. If you don’t write it down immediately, you will never remember it again in a few minutes. To deal with this situation, the best way is to take out your mobile phone and record it immediately. The Hammer Notes APP is such a tool, which is convenient for you to record inspiration and then slowly improve it.
(IV) Aggregate Reading Tool
Nowadays, you can subscribe to magazines and articles through many APPs, but downloading too many APPs and constantly switching between different APPs is a very annoying thing. Is there an APP that can aggregate the content of a large number of APP magazines? Here is an aggregate reading tool for everyone – Qingmang Reading APP, which aggregates the content of many APPs, saving a lot of time for searching and switching.
(V) Sports and Fitness Tools
Foreign trade work is not only a mental job, but also a physical job. Without a strong body, working overtime and staying up late will quickly make you physically and mentally exhausted; without a strong body, it is difficult to cope with the work of visiting customers abroad, and it is impossible to travel long distances and visit multiple customers a day; without a strong body, it is difficult to stand for a long time at domestic and foreign exhibitions and maintain a good mental state to negotiate and take orders. Among sports apps, Keep and Gudong Running are both relatively easy to use. In Keep, there are various sports modes to choose from, and you can also choose sports plans, and record calorie consumption at any time to help you form good exercise habits.
