5 Productivity Apps That Will Make Your Life Easier

" Your planner is the ultimate weapon to success ".

Its back to school time again a were all dreading the next 4 months of all nighters, tests, finals, homework etc. What if I told you that this semester doesn't have to be another anxiety-filled semester? Its really simple actually, utilize some tools. Human beings have been using tools to do practically everything from cooking potatoes to launching the first men into space. Just remember the tools are nothing without person using them. So without further a do here are the 5 apps that I use daily to get shit done.

1. Google Calendar


This is literally the plan to my life. I put my classes on here, when to study, downtime, workouts, tests, festivals, events, lunch with friends, etc. on here. I prefer this over a paper planner only because I can use this app on my phone and it gives me push notifications 10 minutes before every event so I don't forget.

2. Quizlet


I only started using this app when I got into college and it has been a lifesaver. Quizlet is great for learning vocabulary fast and easily. Its great for sociology, law, accounting, language , etc. I didn't find it particularly helpful with math but mathway.com is a great website for learning how to do calculus, algebra, etc. step by step.

3. Habitica

If you love video games your going to love this one. To put it simply Habitica is a RPG based to-do list. You gain experience point for doing things on your list but if you neglect them you will lose experience and die (lose a level). You can also invite your friends and hold each other accountable for the work that they need to get done.

4. Pomodrone


Pomodrone is based on the Pomodoro technique, which is basically which breaks work sessions into 30 minute sessions and a quick 5 minute break. I was a little skeptical of this app a first but it has done wonders for my focus, in fact I'm using it right now to write this article!

5. OneNote

The best journaling app ever made in my option. I write down all my notes on pen and paper and then I transfer them over to one note. Not only does this help me remember what I learned in class it easily saves all the notes I've written in it so when its time to revise them for finals, there all in one place.

These apps are great but they will only make your life better if you utilize them properly.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
