Time Management Applications
Forest
This app utilizes the Pomodoro technique to help you stay focused on your tasks. When you start a task, the app plants a virtual tree. If you lose focus, the tree dies.
🌳 Over 1,000,000 real trees have been planted by our users.
👩🏻💻 My Experience
I actively used this app both on my desktop and phone during my master’s thesis writing process. At a certain point, the Forest app planted a tree on my behalf in the African region🌲. You can access websites other than the ones you designate as restricted. However, if you enter prohibited sites, your tree gets cut down🥺. It can also be used in the workplace by utilizing the group study mode.

I really love this app, I’ve been using it for years. I love the group sessions feature; it really helps during revision sessions. Couldn’t recommend it more if you need to shut your phone down!

I started using Todoist in 2019. At that time, I was using a physical planner. I transitioned to a digital note and reminder system. It has a user-friendly interface and is a convenient platform.

Overall, it’s a very straightforward tool. Sometimes, there can be issues with synchronizing and carrying over tasks scheduled for each day that wasn’t completed the previous day. They won’t repeat for that day if you mark them as completed. It would be nice to allow them to repeat for the current day and not forget what they didn’t complete the previous day.

I love being able to add time and date as plain text.

Toggl
Toggl is an app that tracks the time you spend on tasks. It helps you see where you spend your time and ensures that you are working on the most important things.
🎈Toggl comes with reporting and sharing features with team members.
One of my friends recommended Toggl Track for tracking the time of my freelance projects. I have been using it for about 3 months for all kinds of work needs, and I quickly got used to it. It’s a very user-friendly and useful product. Highly recommended! Thank you for creating it! ✌️

I can’t imagine my daily workflow without Toggl. It has been a significant presence in tracking different projects and tasks. Great UI/UX and the usability is truly intuitive (and Siri integration is one of my favorite features).
