For the last couple of weeks, it was all fun and games. This week, we are going for a more generalized topic on how you use your Android devices for work.
I’m boring in regards to work apps, so I very much favor using Microsoft apps over Google apps for work, as overall I feel Google apps work better on iPhones than on Android (to my great frustration). Office and Teams work exactly how I expect them to, while their desktop version are a bit bloated, on Android they work super well, and there really is no replacement that’s as good as Microsoft Lens for scanning printed documents into PDFs.
But, I understand my use for Android for productivity is fairly limited, so, I’m interested to see if we can put our head together and find some interesting ways to use your Android devices to help us all be more productive.

As a fully remote/flexible/async SW developer contractor paid by the hour, I have a different situation than most.
Personally I do not install any work apps on my phone because I could easily end up “doing work” that I don’t really get paid for.
When I work, I sit down at my actual PC intentionally, I start a timer, and I bill for my time that I take doing work only.
I avoid any work that I need to respond to outside of that and I make this fact known to anyone I work with.
It’s good to set boundaries between your work and your life. I respect that.
