Surviving in the ever-growing and competitive world of digital nomads is no easy task. There are challenges and struggle you have to go through every day, with a lot of problems and tasks to be completed. To keep running a sustainable and successful business it is important to research daily, maintain and build connections with clients, record account transactions and most important create a brand persona and reach. A digital nomad is only a human and they can’t do multiple tasks impeccably in a single day.
Digital entrepreneurs need to have great time management skills to get a fair amount of work completed and organize work in an orderly manner. This cannot be done without the help of technology and making the right use of resources available in this era. All digital nomads own a smartphone and the resources available to best save time and improve productivity and help the digital entrepreneur build their business in the right direction. A few of many apps are discussed below for you as a digital nomad to take note of if you don’t use them already.
1) EVERNOTE AND WUNDERLIST
These are the two apps essentially used by digital nomads who want to organize tasks and prioritize them. Evernote helps you to take notes, set reminders, save a page or a photo, make a to-do list and also save voice notes as reminders. You can view the tasks on your android, iOS or web where ever you are.
A similar app would be Wunderlist where you can note down tasks and manage tasks along with their deadlines. The to-do list of tasks can be shared with anyone you want to communicate without having to separately use another platform to message them.
2) DROPBOX
This is the most convenient app for teams to work and upload files, photos and documents to either a phone or a computer system from an online storage platform. When working as a team this app may be used to share documents of interest which will prevent you from the hassle of emailing using an entirely new forum.
3) LASTPASS
As a traveler and an entrepreneur, it is not easy to log into various applications and with a personal account for a different purpose. Remembering password for different forums is entirely not possible and is quite mind-boggling which is why this app was invented. It remembers your passwords consisting of different numbers and symbols. It has a free version available for Mac and personal computers so you may fill forms and let it manage your passwords. If you want to download it on your smartphone then you must buy the premium version costing you $12.

This is the app most useful for entrepreneurs especially the ones who travel frequently. Getting to meet a lot of people in meetings, conferences and co-working space there is a fair chance of networking and building new contacts and partners. During a meet-up, people tend to exchange business cards in the hope of building a business relationship at that time or shortly. But with so much travel and frequent moving, these cards can be lost which is when CamCard comes handy. This app allows you to take pictures of your business cards and it automatically updates your phone contacts and apps saving all the details of your contacts on your phone. Not only this, it comes with an added advantage of syncing your data on your preferred device. For most phones, this device is free of cost and on others, you have to pay a small amount of $3 to obtain it.
5) MINT

This app will keep you in charge of your money matters and you will know how and where you are spending and where you can save up.
6) TRELLO
