On this week’s back-to-school episode of ‘Dot Complicated with Randi Zuckerberg’ life coach Erica Diamond gave her Top 5 Favorite Apps:
1. One Note
FREE – iOS & Android
Screenshot the schoolyear calendar or your favorite cookbook recipes, clip your kids artwork, report cards, or store design ideas for your bathroom redesign and store it all in the cloud! Think of it also as your camera for the web, so if you’re traveling on a business trip for example, clip and save downloaded web articles for the plane for later reading. You can even scan a business card and import it directly into your address book without typing anything in.
FREE – iOS & Android
Kids are back in school so it’s mom’s turn to make an action plan. First, take the pledge to get off the fence right from the app. Then, whatever your goals are—whether they’d be to start a business, get healthy, or have your kids go to bed earlier at night—create your customized monthly off the fence plan to chase your goals. Get daily inspiration right to your smart phone, connect with other fence jumpers, share your Off the Fence story to inspire others, and read our WomenOnTheFence.com blog.
3. Khan Academy
FREE – iOS & Android
“You can learn anything. For free. For everyone. Forever.” Khan Academy’s mission is to provide a free, world‑class education for anyone, anywhere. It’s essentially a personalized learning resource for all ages—we’re talking math, science, economics right from kindergarten up. I first learned about Sal Kahn on ’60 Minutes’, and was completely blown away. Myself and my boys have been loving and watching their videos since.
FREE – iOS & Android
We recently gave my 6th grade son my husband’s old iPhone. He’s started going to the park with his buddies and so I’ve got a new best friend. The Find My Friends App allows me to see where he is and can notify me when he’s left or arrived somewhere. I’m not trying to stalk him or be an annoying helicopter mom, but I like knowing that I have this app if I can’t reach him.
FREE – iOS & Android
All ladies, this one’s a must! I won’t give you all the intricacies of the app, but whether you’re trying to get pregnant (congrats by the way), or trying to avoid getting pregnant (like me), this is every girlfriend’s best friend! I learned about this app on a girl’s night out. A must. And it’s FREE. This app keeps track of ovulation, fertile days, when you’re expecting. This app is every mom’s best friend.
