The Top Apps, Software and Online Services for Organizing Your Mind

A lot of us blame technology for the constant stress that we're under and for the fact that we feel constantly so wired. We're continuously bombarded by notifications and messages and we seem to spend half our time looking at screens - is it any wonder so many of us are burned out?

But just as guns don't kill people - people do, so is it true that apps don't make you tired - you do.

The key is just to use the right technology. Actually, there are plenty of apps out there that can help you to feel less stressed and that can reduce that information overload. Likewise, there are also a number of online services that can do the same. Let's take a look at a few of them.
