Google Drive, my productivity tool of choice, is almost painfully simple, but I find that is extremely effective. We all know how it works, but for my particular academic style, I think the platform fits perfectly.
I much prefer to bring my iPad to class; something about having the vertical screen of a laptop creating a “wall” between me and the professor just begs me to wander off. Having the iPad lay flat on the desk, as close to a paper notebook as possible, forces me to stay focused (because now everyone can see what I’m doing, professor included), and the interface just feels more natural.
That’s where Drive comes in. Drive lets me have all my documents, images, essays, or whatever I need in one place with a simple system of organization by class, semester, and year. Beyond that, it lets me have these things anywhere. So I can access something in class on the iPad, work on it, and when I go home to continue working with it on my laptop, it’s right there. No emailing myself, no thumb drives (are those even a thing anymore?), no wasted time or missing documents. Likewise, if I do an assignment on my laptop at home, I can access it on my iPad in the same quick, convenient manner.
Super simple stuff.
