Six time management and habit tracker apps to stay organized<\/em><\/p>\n

Looking for a new way to manage time and keep track of habits? A multitude of apps exist to do just that \u2014 but which to choose? Here I provide an overview of six time management and to-do list apps to help narrow down the options. All are available for free on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFocus To-Do\u201d: <\/b>My favorite of the bunch, this app is based on the Pomodoro technique \u2014 work on something for 25 minutes straight, then take a five minute break. List upcoming tasks, estimate the amount of Pomodoro sessions it will take and start the timer to get to work. As an added incentive, users can grow a virtual sapling by completing sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMyLifeOrganized\u201d: <\/b>This app is great for those with a lot on their plate. Organize projects, tasks and reminders into multiple workspaces and subsections, and use tags to easily navigate different types of tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cProductive\u201d: <\/b>With a cute design, \u201cProductive\u201d is aimed at those looking to keep track of daily habits, such as drinking enough water, waking up early and going for a walk. The app logs statistics overtime, and users can complete challenges for extra motivation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRemember The Milk\u201d: <\/b>Remember more than just the milk; this app offers a great way to organize all kinds of reminders while also adding a social element. Sync up specific to-do lists with other devices so that tasks can be managed from everywhere, and share lists with colleagues or friends to check off together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTimeBloc\u201d: <\/b>Keep track of routines and events \u2014 both one-time and recurring \u2014 in one calendar with customizable color coded labels. Scroll through the day\u2019s hour-by-hour tasks on the main tab, or view added routines on the second tab to plan ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTodoist\u201d: <\/b>Focused on making habits by keeping streaks, \u201cTodoist\u201d creates a reward system for completing to-do list items every day. Set goals and check off tasks on different boards in order to reach higher \u201cKarma\u201d levels.<\/span><\/p>\n
