PEOPLE:

What's On My Phone
Team Talk

Rise & Shine

I can't remember the last time I started a day without first
consulting the Weather and Google Calendar apps.
The weather report and meetings schedule are key factors
in deciding whether it's a "client-facing, business casual"
Mike or "no meetings today, comfy clothing" Mike kind of
day.

My team at Indy Res relies on tools like Atlassian's
HipChat and Slack to allow us to communicate
around specific projects with ease. Trello and
Google Drive are equally lifesaving when it comes
to project and client management.

Social Butterfly

While it's unclear if my chosen
career path or natural penchant
for socializing is to blame, the
result is the same: all the social
media. I am currently an admin
for six Instagram accounts, eight
Facebook Pages and five Twitter
accounts, which are a mix of
personal and professional. Yes,
notifications are (mostly) turned
off.

Staying Sharp

My grandfather kept his brain
sharp by completing the New
York Times crossword puzzle every
day, so perhaps my obsession
with the NYT Crossword app is
the result of genetics. However
in those moments when I need
my brain to focus, the Noisli app
- with its arsenal of soundscapes
ranging from nature sounds to
indecipherable coffee shop din -
is just what I need to dial in.

I love me some podcasts, and
I have apps like Stitcher and
NPR One to thank for providing
quick access to awesome shows
like Radiolab, This American Life
and TED Radio Hour. Podcasts
provide the opportunity to step
out of my immediate world of
familiarity and learn something
new. They're great for long car
rides, too.

Soundtrackin'

As a musician, it's no surprise
that I have 10+ apps dedicated
to either listening to or creating
music. My go-to's include
Spotify, Bandcamp and the
regular ol' Music app for
listening, and Figure, an app that
allows you to tap your inner DJ
and make and manipulate beats.
Keeping it Together

I'll be honest; I created a home
screen especially for this article.
Typically, I have my apps grouped on different screens
according to how they are used (for example: a work
screen, a screen with news and podcast apps, etc).
And yes, there are subfolders.
