Make life easier at home
Between virtual meetings with co-workers and helping your kids to get their homework done, it can be hard to find a good balance for daily life at home. And that’s without even considering the regular household duties to keep everything running.
When you need help keeping track of your work or finding harmony for your mind and body, these apps will be on hand to help you for the week ahead.
Stay active
To boost your energy levels, turn to ORUX’s free Healthy Life training plan. Led by exercise experts, this six-day journey is chock-full of sequences of crunches, push-ups, planks and burpees that will help you maintain a great sports routine, whether you use it to start your day or finish it.
Collaborate better
Meetings are key to keeping up teamwork momentum. With Minutes, you can effortlessly keep track of the main action items from your meetings and ensure that each team member stays on the same page when they follow up with their tasks. The app’s free version offers up to 30 documents, with 12 action items each.
De-stress
With the number of chores we manage at home, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed at times. Thanks to easy-to-follow meditations, Zen helps you find your calm when you need it most. Check out the free “21 days of meditation” course, which will help you improve your awareness of the present moment and stay grounded.
Help kids learn
When it comes to spending quality time with children at home, a mix of playing and learning goes a long way. Papumba takes your child to a pirate island where they’ll learn to recognise colours, draw their first numbers and letters, and discover animal sounds.
Take a break
After multitasking all morning, take a relaxing break with word game Words & Ladders. Spin the wheel, move forward on the board and try to guess the riddles along the way. Some ladders propel you to the top, while slides will send you a few squares back. Sharpen your mind and get ready to challenge your online opponent.
Learn something new
There’s many a captivating story to be found in Storytel’s audiobook collection. Get cosy on the couch, put your headphones on and search for your new favourite title, conveniently split into bite-size chapters. Listening to how the narrator interprets the book will give you an immersive offbeat experience.
