Sunday Solutions – Web App Simplicity

Ari M September 2, 2012 Posts 1 Comment

At one point I went on a “cloudifying” rampage, getting rid of whatever software I could on my computer and finally settling on Dropbox and Chrome. This means that I mobile, I am fluid, and my information is bulletproof. I apply the same principles to my iPhone.

I will only allow myself to use one screen so there’s a limit to the apps I can have and I don’t just go downloading apps like crazy. There are apps that I use occasionally but they are important. Many apps are really glorified versions of the mobile website for that service. Enter MyFaves

MyFaves creates a very elegant start page with icons to go to your web apps. They have about 100 sites to choose from and you can add your own. Then you can delete the apps from your phone, saving storage space and making it easier to access those services from other devices.

About The Author

Ari M

In 2006, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Crohn's is an incurable disease of the digestive tract. My case was severe, and required over a dozen daily medications and several hospital visits. After reaching a personal low point in hospital, I decided he would do everything in my power to strengthen my by then weak body. Through a combination of yoga, nutrition, natural supplements and rigorous exercise (Ironman and Crossfit) i was able to fight back the symptoms of Crohn's until I was finally able to suspend my medication. Eventually I was declared free of all traces of the 'incurable' disease, and competed in Ironman France in June of 2011. I has since spoken at seminars and at a regional TED Talk about my struggle against a seemingly insurmountable opponent. Through the process of data collection, self tracking, and analysis, I helped develop Less Doing. This was a way of dealing with the daily stresses of life by optimizing, automating, and outsourcing all of my tasks in life and business. Now I focus on Achievement Architecture, helping individuals be more effective at everything.
