Winter ABC Day 7: My Life is App-solutely Perfect

We deserve a life simple enough to tackle the complex.

And life is complex!

My mobile phone is a moving office. I'm always caught in between sending emails, creating content, messaging and blogging. If I could divide the workspace on my phone, there would be three specific categories. Inspiration, work and mental canvas. Confused? Let me break it down even more.

Inspiration includes applications that set and pace my mood to be creative. These would include audio and video apps as well as games. Work is obvious...work! These apps include social media networks because I need to distribute content from websites. And finally the mental canvas which is the space where I jot down ideas. That means all the apps that functions as notepads.

It's bring and share your five favourite apps. I didn't need to think much because my life would totally sucks without these five below.

1. OneNote

As a writer and content creator there is a constant need to take down notes. I love putting my thoughts and ideas down as well as organise them. OneNote is functional because I can work from any device for as long as my content is backed up.

2. Canva

Don't have designing skills yet hold an eye for the aesthetic? Or maybe you want to design on the go but you don't have your laptop with you. Canva is the cheat sheet to amazing social media posts. The app offers a range of designs for various social media platforms. You can create cool images within minutes, depending on your speed to design. I would absolutely get rid of other apps to make space for Canva.

3. WordPress

This one is very obvious parce que I'm a blogger. Strangely I haven't moved my personal blog to WP however for most of my blogging work, this is the application that saves my life and time.

4. Podcasts

In as much as I love talking a lot, I enjoy listening to others even more. The podcast app functions as my inspiration, work and mental canvas. For the last part, I get ideas from the talking points in various episodes.

5. Deezer

I love my music. It's so therapeutic and inspiring. Some of you may know of the story of king Saul in the Bible.  He is the king who disobeyed God to the point that the announcing left him. An evil, tormenting spirit came upon him that needed music to soothe his mood. Anyway the point is that this app helps get me in the right mood. It has a collection of most of my favourite music from around the world. A girl's got to get her inspiration right?

What would my life be without the 'big five'? Okay, I guess but why live without these apps? I function highly well and would recommend the first three for content creators. When you can simplify your life, you can enjoy creating and sharing.

App-solute perfection is what we need to make the world go round.

P.S. Always write your own love story!

Ciao!

How do we single ladies get that ring-on-it,you ask?By being wifey material.My uncle keeps on telling me,'If you want to become Mrs X,you should be a wife.You are a wife before he puts a ring on it'.What he means is that,a man will treat you the way you portray yourself.How,you ask? Ever noticed the difference between a wife and a girlfriend.Now let me break it down for you.A girlfriend usually,takes life in a more leisurely way;unlike a wife,whose focus is mo...

Winter ABC Day 14: 5 Africans Who Inspire Me

I told you that this week is awesome! I love Africa! I love the people even more! I love our diversity in skin tones. I love our various languages that include clicks, coughs and long syllables. Our traditions may differ but they are somewhat intertwined. Africa isn't just the cradle of mankind. It is the stew pot of talent, intelligence and creativity. I procrastinated for a long time about writing about my African inspirations. With this challenge I have the opportunity to take action. My top 5 list includes creatives from various genres of media, arts and entertainment. As a creative myself,  I incline naturally towards those who are like myself. It is true that, 'birds of the same feather, flock together,' and away do I fly with the eagles. Without further due, below are the 5 Africans who inspire me. 1. Bonang Matheba Did you know that Bonang Matheba and I were born a week and a half apart in 1987? Now you know! I live vicariously through queen B!  She is my ...

Hmm.Mrs Carter.She seems to sing a lot of these female empowering songs about being beautiful,strong and independent.Ironically, Mrs Carter when she's at home with Jay, she is different; she is to be precise, submissive. Ladies, today we discuss being miss independent versus the submissive wife. (I can already see some of y'all screwing...

I Miss Her

Whatever I said, whatever I did, I didn't mean it, I just want you back for good" Lyrics by Take That, yes Gen Z, a British pop guy group that were there before One Direction. I'll admit that I do like Harry, and love Zayn Malik. But that's none of our business. I wear my heart on my sleeve today. I always wear it and even wrap it around like a head wrap, or loin clothe. I miss her so much. The fire, and the passion. In some ways her feminine energy was always endearing. She had big dreams that she would repeatedly diarise. Imagine a whole vibe when she comes into the room? She would take time to do her make up and fix her hair. She had to look like the lady that she aspired to be. Really don't know how she lost it? I want that girl back, the spirit and fire, but I want her to be.... ...the woman I'm becoming. P.S. : Always write your own love story! Ciao! Lady E
