Apps That Will Make Work Easier
Entering into the working world is so much different than being in college. When I started my job, I tried to use the same exact methods as I did in school and it was not going to plan. As much as I love it and legitimately depended on it for four years, my Lilly planner wasn't cutting it. I was constantly overwhelmed and anxious or losing track of when things were happening. Eventually, I learned how to use technology to help my transition and ease the pain of never fully knowing what you're walking into when you enter the office. Apps are here and happening and the sooner we embrace that our lives will be easier.
