You are lying down after a hectic day, and you suddenly get a text from your friend asking how far along you are with the assignment. The deadline is in 2 hours. You hop out of bed and start working, finally submitting a subpar sloppy presentation that will get you a B at best.
Stories like these are common for students. They constantly deal with deadlines, assignments, presentations, jobs, chores, etc. It can get overwhelming and messy if we don't manage everything with time and precision.
In the age of smartphones, every problem has a solution. Tech companies and enthusiasts developed smart management apps to help people of different stages organise their lives. These apps help us keep up with our work and mental health.
Here are five apps to help you manage your daily tasks and studies coherently.
Trello was created as a project management tool to help teams collaborate and organise efficiently. It allows users to organise and manage minuscule details of their day through a card system.
You can assign and track the task progress according to different sections. The best option is to go with the sections already set by the app. You can add other sections depending on your task.
With Trello, you can add details, links, and timers to each task. So, there is no need to go back and forth for details when starting a task. It's all there. It's best if one sits down and arranges all the tasks periodically. Their premium version starts at USD 12.50 per month.
Todoist is a user-friendly app allowing you to organise your tasks. It allows users to integrate other organisational apps. You can sync the app with other devices.
The tasks can be divided into different checklists setting different priorities and notifications. You can tick it off as the work is done and focus on the next ones. It is a great app to divide your time and work into functional slots.
The app can be used for free; the premium version starts at USD 3 monthly. However, the free version is enough for students.
TickTick helps you sort everything in to-do lists along with reminders. If you are working outside, this app has a white noise generator. It helps you concentrate on the work in outside surroundings.
With their 'Plan My Day' feature, you can organise your tasks by setting priorities.
TickTick's free version is limited in features. While it can help you set up and organise tasks enough, advanced features can be unlocked with a subscription of $27.99 annually.
Any.do is an interactive app that is accessible from different devices. Any.do lets you organise all aspects of your life.
Sometimes we forget important milestones or dates under the pressure of everything. With Any.do, you can set the timer for your midterms and book your mom's doctor's appointment.
As you can access it from different devices, planning becomes extremely easy. You can just do the panning when you are sitting in traffic.
Every semester is different, and some are more hectic than others. If you are dealing with one of those super hectic semesters, then Clockify is the one for you.
The app seamlessly organises each task to different time slots of the day. The Calendar view features will keep you updated on your tasks and schedule so you can plan other tasks accordingly.
You can integrate the app with Google or Outlook. Clockify helps users manage each task with proper precision with their features so they can give their best to each task.
All the apps mentioned are available on the play store or apple store for free. All you need is a stable connection and a mindset for an organised lifestyle.
