Can academic software improve your work-life balance as a researcher?

The fact that people in academia are constantly overloaded with work and never able to maintain a proper work/life balance is often considered an integral part of academic lifestyle. Influenced by this belief, many researchers develop a sense of “academic guilt” feeling like having some time free of work is something wrong. However true productivity requires downtime. And even though it’s often hard to free up a few hours a week, every job has some routine processes that can be optimized.

One of such “routine processes” in academic research is choosing the right software to manage and keep track of all the different aspects of academic work.
