We depend on our phones for so much — to connect us to our friends and family, wake us up in the morning, research our life questions, and to look at cat videos. Why then shouldn’t we use our phones to help us manage our studying habits? Below is a list of 6 apps that will help you manage your life as an online student.
Evernote
We cannot discuss apps for students without mentioning Evernote. It is one of the most popular apps on the market. In the app, you can take notes, save articles, or webpages to help you keep track of your ideas. You can access the app on all of your devices, making it possible to access your information remotely.
MyLifeOrganized (MLO)
If you like to create lists, my life organized is perfect for you. With this app you can create simple and complicated lists — lists that break down subtasks for each larger task. You can organize your school life, personal endeavors, and more. It also tracks your progress through a percent complete bar to help you see visually what you still have to do.
TimeCamp
TimeCamp is a free time-tracking app. It is generally used in business, but you can use it for your school work to track how productive you are. It generates reports for you based on what you spend your time doing and it helps you manage your efficiency.
Focus At Will
If you love listening to music while you study, but your current playlist isn’t making it much easier, you can always use Focus At Will. According to their site, “Every track [in the app] has been remixed, re-edited and scientifically remastered specifically for focus enhancement.” The app stats also boast a 12-15% increase in focus.
Focus Booster
Focus Booster creates timesheets for you to use to track your time. It gives you periodic breaks at the exact time you need them, and keeps them short enough to keep you on task. It has a timer on hand so that you know how long until your next break.
Don’t Break The Chain!
If you’re motivated by visual representations of your progress, Don’t Break the Chain is for you. Every day that you complete your goal (doing your homework, taking tests on time, etc.) it puts a mark on your calendar. The app is simple to use and has very few complicated features, making it a quick and easy way to motivate you to do your school work.
