There can be few other professions that are as aware of time management as the general dental practitioner. We divide our working day into slots usually of around 15 minutes and are acutely aware of how even small variations in this use of time can have huge implications in how much or little we can get done in a session. We are as a result incredibly productive, having 30 or 40 contacts a day with people which can range from a conversation to emergency extractions.

Using this insight of the power of just 15 minutes, Quart is a productivity app developed by a GDP that approaches personal productivity in a revolutionary new way. It is a to-do list combined with a 15 minute timer. By linking a task with a fixed time to focus on it – a 'quart'– we can bring the productivity of the clinic to all aspects of our lives. It can also be a means to relax and take a quart to pause from a busy day. In a ceaseless digital world, quart is both the longer moment and the quicker hour we need. All the quarts completed are logged and stored so it is an effective way to record non-verifiable CPD.

Quart is available to be downloaded from the Apple App Store for 99p: https://appsto.re/gb/olWqhb.i
