There's a reason why smart phones are called "smart" phones: They manage to provide structure in the chaotic world we live in and make our lives a tad bit (translation: a lot) easier. If you're looking to organize your life via your smart phone, then look no further. Here are the five must-have apps for getting organized, whether it be in the kitchen or saving memories, as shared by House Beautiful.
1. Evernote; This app will help you coordinate the various notes, alarms, to-do lists and calendar events you've programmed in your numerous devices. The program centralizes your notes, photos, lists and reminders in to create a cohesive, searchable schedule. An absolute must-have for harmonizing our wired schedules! (Free via evernote.com)
