Like yourself, I’m always looking for the best way to efficiently streamline my workload and allow myself to be an even more productive physical educator. There are a lot of quality applications out there to help you with this process, below is a list of I find very helpful for organizing my thoughts and tasks.

IFTTT, otherwise known as If This Then That, is one of my favorite apps. It allows you to create automation “recipes” where one internet service trigers a task in another internet service. For example, one could make a recipe that sends a SMS messages directly to an Evernote note. I have written about how IFTTT can be used as a digital secretary for physical educators here.

Workflow is another automation system app. It is different than IFTTT in the sense that it works mostly with native iOS applications and features. Workflow takes automation a step further than IFTTT. It is more like if this, then that, then that and also that. There are a ton of possibilities with this app. It let’s you add Workflows to your home screen if you desire. Furthermore, it let’s you add extentions while using  your mobile web browser.  I am still a novice user of workflow so I rely on Reddit which has a great community that shares workflows and answers users questions regarding Workflow. Also, check out this article entitled ‘Workflow tips for Beginners‘. The more you use it, the more you realize how powerful it can be.
