Top 5 best organisation apps to help you stay productive

Technology can be amazing, if you know how to use it right. There’s hundreds of apps and websites out there and each of them promises to revolutionise the way to stay on top of your schedule and all your tasks. Not all of them are game-changers, though – this post will help you separate the wheat from the chaff.

Google Calendar

To make sure that you have time for all your responsibilities, you need a planner like google calendar. This is probably better than a paper planner since you can easily move around events without having to worry about rewriting your entire schedule. Plus, it’s compatible with a lot of online booking software, so your appointments can automatically appear in your planner. Also, if you’re not a fan of the default colour scheme, making different calendars for different event categories allows you to pick any colour you want!

Notion

You probably don’t always have a notebook and pen on you, but you’ll always have your phone. Notion is a great way to store all your information. It’s better than the standard notes app in that it allows you to organise your writing better by creating subpages and contents tables. Also, there’s a lot of cool features like calendars, tables, and website embedding!

Flora

If you struggle with spending too much time on your phone, then flora can help you stay focused in the important moments. In flora, you earn new plants by staying off your phone for a certain period of time. It’s super fun and aesthetic, and there’s even a social feature that allows you to see how your friends are doing! This is a great way to introduce healthy competition into your studying or productivity, which can really improve your motivation!

To-doist

It’s exactly what it says on the tin: a to-do list. To-doist is an app, website, and web extension. This means that it’s accessible from anywhere so you’ll always know what you have to do. The cool thing about it is that it allows you to tag tasks by priority, due date, and any labels you assign to it. You can even create reminders so you don’t forget your tasks!

Google Sheets

While not a traditional organisation app, google sheets is still super useful. I use it for my study schedules, content calendar, and college lists. While it doesn’t have many bells and whistles, it’s super flexible, meaning you can use it for pretty much anything. I’d recommend this for big-picture planning, since it allows you to see what you have to do from a bird’s eye view.
