Top productivity tools

Top productivity tools are computer programs that can assist you on staying on the top level of performance (efficiency and productivity) during the whole duration of your working efforts. So what are productivity tools? They provide you with means to plan your working or personal time and activities in a manner allowing you to accomplish more (to make your output more intensive) while using the same amount of resources (time, energy, money, etc). Let’s clarify this productivity tools definition through considering several different kinds of personal & business solutions:

• Small business – It can reach the greater performance via better planning (scheduling, prioritization, business processing) of the staff’s tasks and functions. Top productivity tools for small business should provide capabilities for effective projecting and coordination of their working activities, strategic tasks, daily functions & departments (sales, IT, support, accounting, etc). 

• Productivity tools for teachers – in order to keep highly productive, software helps teachers to plan their educational priorities, and to schedule lessons/lectures which they have to conduct everyday during the week or month, so that they can know what materials they need to prepare for students beforehand, plan home tasks and projects for them, etc.  

• Solutions for students – students are young people who need to find a proper balance between studying, sometimes also work, personal hobbies, and social activity. Software for them is a kind which allow them to concentrate at mapping out timetables of their lessons, trainings, pastime activities, etc, so that fair amount of time can be dedicated to all aspects of their life.
