11 great productivity apps to get you to your 2017 goals - Debut Right. Thats it. No more messing around. 2017 is the year you finally get organised. Or get in shape. Or quit *insert unhealthy vice here*. Honest, youre serious. You really mean it this time. We hear you. And instead of offering you empty Disney movie platitudes about believing in yourself, were recommending you a few pieces of stone-cold software to kickstart the assault on your 2017 goals. That said, here are some of the best productivity apps out there right now. Trello Working on something big in 2017? Plan that project in a way thats both flashy and organised.
