    Really good selection of applications for productivity!

    For the iPad, i’d like to recommend as professional note taking/ToDo/Project management application “Beesy”. A month ago, i discovered this app and now I often use it for my meetings.
    With Beesy , you can find many features to accomodate tasks, generate automatically a ToDo list from your notes, make monitoring and send easily minutes by email. This app is great; you save a lot of time at work, and you start appreciating meeting again.

    If you are interested in Beesy you can google it or go the application’s website for detailed information http://www.beesapps.com/beesy-ipad-to-do/

    Kind regards,

    Sam

    I would suggest thinking also about how to improve your interactions with others. Most productivity in organizations is lost by failure of people to communicate effectively and failure to understand what drives people’s behavior. We have created two apps, Adaptive Leadership Coach, and Adaptive Sales Coach, that look at the human side of productivity. If you really want to be more successful in business, you have to improve your people skills, not just your data and task management skills! Take a look at our innovative apps at coachbyapp.com

    Hi Sam,
    Thank you for sharing Beesy! Before I used Evernote but since I discover Beesy on the Evernote Trunk, I can’t work without this app anymore! For me it’s the best productivity app for business, I can import and export Microsoft docs very easily! 🙂
