QuickBooks is a favourite for many small business owners and self-employed with the app saying it can save you around eight hours per week.

It’s hard to be organised and productive when you have a mountain of sticky notes to work from. An app with to do list functionality is super useful as it can give you a clear picture of what needs doing, by when. You can use it to better manage your time, handle any sub-contractor or employee tasks and ensure you never miss an important deadline.

There’s a lot to choose from in this space so it’s worth taking a few for a test run to see which best suits your style of working. Popular options include Basecamp, Asana and Trello.

3. A notes app

Inspiration can strike at any time so you want to be able to record it when it does. Not to mention, there are lots of opportunities to make more time in your day by doing work on the fly – whether that’s drafting an article on the train or working on a client proposal while waiting to go into a meeting. A notes app is a super useful thing to have as it means you can note down your thoughts and get work done while away from your desk. Evernote is the clear leader here but there are a few others out there too such as Google Keep and Zoho Office.
