The best Productivity Alexa Skills
Alexa-enabled devices can sometimes be a distraction, but they can also keep you on track. Get Alexa to jot down an important reminder, or use a skill to find your phone if you've misplaced it. Your kids can use skills to check on their homework while you try a cleaning skill to make sure your home is as healthy as possible.
Todoist
Todoist has been my favorite to-do app for more than five years. It's also one of the most popular productivity apps across just about every ecosystem. This skill syncs your daily Todoist tasks with your Alexa to-do list each morning and also syncs any tasks you add to Alexa back to Todoist. Whenever you add something to your Alexa Shopping List, it will appear in a corresponding list in Todoist, and vice versa.

Stay on top of your day by using Alexa to interact with your favorite to-do app.
Find My Phone
This Alexa Skill seems silly until you need it, and then it's the most important skill around. I've used it several times when I needed to locate where I misplaced my phone around the house (it's usually in the couch cushions). Alexa will call your phone, and then you can following the ringing, buzzing, or vibrations to location your precious smartphone.

Never lose your phone again with this utilitarian Alexa Skill.
UPS
If you're someone who regularly receives packages (like, I don't know, a tech reviewer), then this is a great Alexa Skill to enable. You can track your UPS packages and ask Alexa if any deliveries are coming your way. When you link your UPS account to the Alexa Skill, you can even track packages without a tracking number!
UPS
Get Alexa to help you keep track of all of those UPS deliveries so that you can get back to work or play.
Canvas
If you have grade school-age children, chances are you're familiar with the Canvas application for managing coursework and assignments. When you link your child's account to your Alexa app, your child can ask Alexa what homework assignments they have or if there are any new announcements from the school.

Alexa can help your kids stay on top of their homework thanks to the Canvas skill.
Uber
We all know what Uber is, so no need to rehash that here. However, what makes this such a great skill is that you can just ask Alexa to order you a ride rather than pulling out your phone and fiddling with the app. It's actually much more convenient when you have your hands full and/or are in a hurry.

Order an Uber in seconds with this handy Alexa Skill instead of trying to get the app out.
Cleaning Buddy
Keeping your living space clean and tidy has always been important, but it's particularly so these days. This Alexa Skill can make cleaning fun (yes, I said fun) and help keep you on task with tips, scheduling, and even music.

The Cleaning Buddy Alexa Skill can help you stay on a regular cleaning schedule. It even adds in exercises and songs between tasks.
