Syska Group ED uses 3 apps to feel motivated at work and home

Jyotsna Uttamchandani, Executive Director, Syska Group, uses apps for work as well as to motivate her on a Monday morning:

Screen time
Living abroad and being used to working from home I don't think I have clocked more screen time as such. However what has changed for me is the way I am using technology within my house or my organization. Two gadgets I cannot live without are my phone and my Kindle.

Speak easy

I am currently using the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2. I absolutely love the phone and the technology Samsung has used. The dual screen is beneficial to me when I have to read emails or even do some quick work on MS word and Excel or even for that matter read a e-book.

Helpful tool
It would have to be the Wifi Mesh System. I majored in Network Engineering in college and now I am actually applying the knowledge at home. Basically, with everyone working from home, more devices being connected I wanted a lag free experience in my network. I recently bought a TP -Link Wifi Mesh System to integrate multiple wifi connections of different rooms so as to have a seamless experience throughout the house without compromising on the speed or range.

App appreciation
There are many apps that I use depending on the device I am on. From MS Office apps to WhatsApp or be it social media. For work, I use MS Office, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and sometimes even Apple Music or Spotify in case I need to refresh during work. InShorts is an app that I use to get my quick news briefings. I also use an app called Microsoft To do. It's amazing to ensure your tasks are organised. It would be an app I would definitely recommend.

Motivation must-have
I use an app called PepTalk and would recommend it to anyone who needs motivation. I think we all do at some point of time. The podcasts are brilliant. There is a new app that I recently started using and am testing before I introduce my team to it. It's called MindMeister. It's a great app to canvas all your thinking and brainstorm and come to solutions with your team.

Down time
I think a lot of us already have streaming apps be it Netflix, HotStar, Or Prime. There is also an app called Motivation that I use to get my daily morning motivational quote to get me charged up. A lot of people don't understand why I use it till they actually start themselves. Because I love reading, I use Audible and Amazon Kindle a lot.
