Administrative professionals are expected to wear a lot of hats in the workplace. From scheduling meetings to planning travel — even managing social media accounts — it can be tough to keep everything organized.
The good news is, there are multiple apps that can help you better manage your responsibilities. Here’s a look at 4 must-have apps for administrative professionals.
24me
24me acts as your own personal assistant. The app includes your to-do lists, notes, and calendar all in one place, making it easier for you to manage everything. With 24me, it’s all integrated. Your notes, tasks, and to-do lists can all be viewed and managed from the calendar. It will also remind you of special events — like birthdays and anniversaries — and includes the ability to send gifts from the 24me gift store. You can even connect your utilities, banks and service providers to get reminders when bills are due and pay them from the app. Learn More

Dropbox is a cloud storage service that gives you the ability to access your files from just about anywhere.
