Chan Yiwen: "My favourite app lately is Overcast, which is almost like Spotify, but for podcasts. There's a good mix of programmes, from business and tech to entertainment and culture. What I love about podcasts is that I can consume it on the move—whether I'm in between meetings, travelling overseas, or at the end of a day when I'm usually not in the best state to devour a thick book."

Marcus Tan (right): "Mimetic.ai. At Carousell, we've been using Mimetic’s virtual assistant, Jarvis, for the past few months to schedule appointments. All you need to do is give your Mimetic’s bot instructions over email, and it will help schedule your lunches, interviews, meetings and so on. It can also calculate different timezones for overseas calls and conferences. It’s a great productivity tool, and as the company develops their artificial intelligence further, there’s a huge opportunity for this to become a must-have in people’s everyday lives."

Anngee Neo: "I love using RescueTime, which tracks everything I've done on my computer and sorts them into categories like work, communication, news and social networking. It also gives a breakdown on how much time I spend in programmes such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. I find it this useful because I get to monitor how much time I spend working versus doing frivolous matters. I can also set goals to hit everyday for each category, which keeps me on track with my tasks."

Shashank Dixit: "I often use the app, Deskjob, which encourages me to stand up or do some stretches when I've been sitting for too long. Sitting down for long periods of time can be bad for health, but it's inevitable in most corporate jobs. This tool really reminds me to maintain good health practices in the office."
