Transcript of 11 apps to change your life
Multitasking is a myth Our brain is single taskYou don't do several things at once, just switch between them, doing one at a time and with a high cognitive cost to regain focus
We become sick, anxious and frustrated
Who wants to do everything, ends up not doing anything with the focus and
dedication that certain activities ask
Good news: technology can help us to build them
So I chose 11 apps which have helped me to establish good habits and change
my daily life for the better
Rewire

SwipesOrganize your tasks in a to-do list mode and complete (or postpone)
them with just one finger swipe. You can add recurrent tasks or
break them into subtasks

I'm from Porto Alegre (Brazil) and I live in Chapecó, SC. Insomnia, my debut book, received Honorable Mention at SESC Prize for Literature and was selected to integrate the Machado de Assis magazine, a publication of the National Library that aims to disseminate Brazilian authors for the international publishing market. I am also the creator and editor of the website 2000 toques, whose goal is to show the routines and processes involved in the daily lives of Brazilian writers. In 2015, with my short story Sleep Island, I was among the 20 finalists (of almost 7000 attendees) of Brazil in Prose contest, from Amazon Brazil. I’m also work as a planner and copywriter for advertising agencies. Currently, I work on my first novel, with publication of forecast for 2017. Look for my articles on the internet and my books on Amazon or on my website.
