Four apps to improve your working life balance

Smartphones. Almost all of us have them today, and as useful as they are to help us connect to emails, social media, and the Internet, sometimes it can feel as though you never really escape work.

However, a smartphone can also help you improve your working life balance, giving you more time and making you a happier, more productive person in the process.
