Top 5 Phone Apps for Productivity

This is a common question Kristy gets asked, so we asked her to share which 5 apps she uses and why. There is a video above and explaining it more in depth below!

"Hi, Friends! Everyone assumes because of STARTplanner I write everything down. Not true! I am digital-savvy and I am a big fan of using technology and apps to automate your life, which saves time and money!

I just prefer pen and paper for to-do lists and vision and mapping out my day!

Here are 5 apps that I use daily. This is not sponsored just me sharing because they make my life easier, and they will make yours too!

Dropbox - It is how I organize all my files, both personal and business, backup family photos, and as you have seen, organize my financials and receipts. Dropbox allows me to do what I do, saving my files in a cloud. So I can be at my desktop, on my laptop, or on my phone.
Notes/Google Drive - I have notes separated out for my companies and my life. It allows me to reference quickly and organize. Primarily use google drive and folder to organize business documents. Also, notice in notes that I typically link to documents in dropbox to quickly find files.
1Password - Last summer I got hacked. It was one of the most terrifying and frustrating things. I had half of my passwords in here, and the other half were similar. BIG mistake. I now have all my passwords in here, and they are different! Anywhere I can, I add two-factor authentication. If you are looking for a way to organize and store passwords, this is a great app.
TurboScan - This allows me to scan documents remotely. I have a scanner, but again life is wide open. I do scan some documents in dropbox as they have a scanner, but this app is just more versatile.
Digital Calendar - What? You think I don't have team calendars and keep a digital calendar? My STARTplanner goes with me everywhere, but it is essential to have an organized digital calendar too to stay in sync. I just carry everything to my paper calendar because I am a visionary.

The best!

I started using this planner in 2018.
By far best planner out there. I’ve tried more than a few. Organize your mind and the rest falls into place.

Fantastic!!

I love these. They work so well in so many planners (currently using in my Nancy planner), and I use them with sheet protectors so I can move things around as I go through the months and move from planner to planner. Wish they would carry the daily/quaterly type again.

Great Product Idea

I’m giving it four stars because the notches on the strip don’t fit exactly within the spiral spaces of my Day Planner but I forced the fit. Then I took different color cardstock and cut them to the proportions of my day planner which is 6x8 and adhered the cardstock to the adhesive strips to give me a Notes Page for scribbling tasks and reminders. I also cut the extra ends off after I inserted the strips in my journal. I would buy these again though.

2026 STARTplanner® | Annual Daily Dated | Spiral Bound

Long time customer

I have been using The StartPlanner for many years but always got the large spiral bound annual weekly planner. This year I decided to go with the A5 system for easier/more compact carrying. I love the binder and the layout is exactly the same as the large planner. The only thing I don't like is that all of the pages for the entire year don't fit in the binder at once. I work in dentistry and live/plan 6+ months ahead so it was disappointing that I couldn't fit all of the pages in and have the portfolio actually close. I'm making it work since I do have all the monthly calendar pages and I love that the portfolio can be reused each year, but I did have to remove things like the grocery lists and was not able to put in my extra note pages.
