Packed with useful apps and tools
A strong point of 'Working Smarter Online' is that it does not stop at general concepts such as Getting Things Done, but that in addition a great many smart apps and tools are discussed. Do you want to deal smartly with lists on social media, a good app for your to-do list, working in the cloud, sharing presentations or mind mapping? For everything, Ten Kate mentions at least two or three excellent apps for Android, Apple or Microsoft.
He doesn't stop at well-known apps like Evernote , but also mentions lesser-known tools like f.lux , Twylah (Twitter brand assessment), SocialBro (understand your Twitter community), CamScanner or Buffer . All apps that help you not to wander aimlessly online for hours, but to organize your online life in a targeted manner, so that you remain in control.

Tips from the lifehacking experts
If you are experienced in working online, reading this book is a treat. You will notice that the interviews that Ten Kate held with lifehacking experts such as Frank Meeuwsen, Niels Gouman and Patrick Mackaaij have been of great value. The book is packed with handy tips, tricks and apps, without becoming boring or confusing. Apps are not discussed in detail, but are only briefly touched upon in a theme. If you want to know more, you will know exactly where to look and which apps you can install and use yourself. So don't expect a book that takes you step by step to open a Twitter account. But do you want to get much more out of your Twitter lists with a few handy apps? Then 'Slimmer online werken' is your book!
Also suitable for less experienced online workers
Is the book, due to the flood of apps and tools, suitable for less experienced online workers? Absolutely! The book tells you exactly where to start working smarter per theme. This way you don't have to read the entire book, but you can also just read the part about working in the cloud, to-do lists, social media or e-mail. This structure makes the book worthwhile for both novice online workers and experts in life hacking.
For anyone who takes online work seriously
'Slimmer online werken' offers a fairly complete overview of current apps and greece mobile phone number list tools. You can read it in an hour, but you will pick it up dozens of times afterwards to look up what that smart app was that you want to use. That makes me recommend the book to anyone who does anything on a computer, in short: to any professional who takes themselves and their online work seriously.
