Being productive is something we all struggle with. Why get down to work when you can spend an hour reading celebrity gossip? While the following apps won’t save you from the allure of O.K. magazine, they might stop you from wasting time performing lots of other mundane tasks.

1. 1Password. We’ve all been there, you can’t remember which of your ten passwords you use for your e-mail account, and you’re not looking forward to spending 20 minutes trying to guess it, then giving up and having to reset. This app takes all the misery out of password setting by generating hack-proof passwords and automatically filling them out when necessary. The app also allows you to send your passwords to other devices, which can be nothing short of a miracle if you’re prone to losing your phone.
2. ScannerPro. Let’s face it, not many people have physical scanners anymore, and even if we know, scanning documents and transferring them to all of your devices takes time and effort. Luckily, here’s no shortage of scanning photos out there, but this one is probably the best! The app takes clear photos of any document and converts them to .pdf in the blink of an eye.
3. ScheduleOnce. This app is a must for anybody who organises lots of meetings or events. When you create an event in the app, you choose which of your friends and colleagues who are also going to be going, and that’s it! No more wasting time sending out millions of invites, this app does it all for you in no time at all.
