Productivity: What are your top apps?

Yeah, i think i see the poke to Google products on some of the points and really understand it on a Google forum 😉

But i like to say that most of the things mentioned above are fine "in general" and have to agree to them but can also be done with other programs / apps as well.

Let's give some examples:

• Organise your notes and set reminders / ToDo List: MS OneNote for Notesa and sharing them and the integrated Task scheduler in Outlook is used by me all the time during work for planned activites which are not bound to a meeting and which are reminders or Tasks.
• Choose the right playlist to motivate you: I don't have any specific preference for a program/app on this but i miss really the availability of a local program for some of the services so i prefer local stored music to be played. 
• Coordinate your time / Happy inbox, happy life!: As already said, time coordination is covered by MS Outlook as well, with the integrated calendar and my inbox is sorting itself for 90% to get the mails into right place and worked on imediatelly.
• Manage your projects or daily tasks: As this is often company decision to which service etc. to work on, i don't have a big opinion on this.

And that there's often no (Windows) program available where you have an app available for things to work on, is often a reason not to work with several apps.

So, in final i can say: I prefer to have as less programs used as possible to cover as much as possible work related things. Also regarding Google mail / calendar etc. i definitely miss a local (Windows) program covering most needs in one, so that's why I would always avoid Google Mail/Calendar etc. (i don't like big browser sessions / many multiple tabs/windows to have access to mail etc.). And this also goes for private.
