There's An App for That
Should there be an app for that?
How many apps, websites, or programs do you use in a single day? How many are required by your job? How many are just to get through your day?
Do you keep track of that information?
There are so many apps on my phone and laptop that I use every single day. And 10 years ago, I had almost none of them. “There's an app for that” has really taken over our lives. However specialized we think we need a piece of software, there is probably something that exists.
Today, if I’m starting something new, the first habit is to find a piece of software that will help. Surely someone else has done this and built something to help.
Instead of feature creep in software, we have software creep in life.
Do you ever consciously curate this software creep? Cutting back or removing software that is no longer needed or shouldn’t be needed. What makes you stop using a piece of software and remove it from your devices? Is it a conscious decision or one that just happens on its own?
I don’t have an answer for the best way to go about this, but it’s something I am looking at more closely in my own life. Taking inventory, tracking time spent, and really figuring out what software I should have.
