Top 5 Free Apps for Students: Time Management + Productivity

Todoist Tasks by Reclaim.ai ReclaimAI Pomofocus
  1. Todoist is a to-do list that helps you get organized, at work and in life.
    Todoist is a popular time management app that puts a more efficient spin on the classic to-do list. Instead of having your to-do lists scattered around on sticky notes, papers, journals, your inbox, or docs -- Todoist allows you to create digital lists for the day with organized categories, due dates, and subtasks. 23% of students try to keep track of their tasks and to-dos by memory, but by planning out a list of your daily goals - and compiling all future to-dos in one master list in Todoist - you can better track what you have going on (and save the time you'd need to sort through emails and papers in the depths of your desk).

  2. Your to-do list finally meets your calendar.
    Reclaim.ai is a smart time blocking app for Google Calendar that automatically schedules time for your tasks, before they're due, around your existing availability --- helping you avoid this exact scenario! For example, if you have an important chemistry lab report due next Friday, you can create a new Task in Reclaim (or integrate your existing task list) with the due date and estimation for how much time you need, and Reclaim will automatically schedule time for that task around classes and other events in your calendar. And best of all, Reclaim will auto-reschedule that Task when your schedule changes, or a more important Task comes up, so you don't have to manually move things around.

    And don't worry, no need to get a kitchen timer to take advantage of this time management method! Pomofocus is a free online Pomodoro timer app that allows you to set the duration and breaks for your focus sessions. This simple time management method is perfect for those smaller tasks and shallow work, as well as studying. While lots of items on a to-do list can feel overwhelming -- '25 minutes' is a very manageable amount of time for most people to dedicate full focus to one task. By reducing context switching and managing distractions, these mini work blocks can boost productivity and help you power through. Try time blocking a few afternoon sessions a week for Pomodoro focus time, or break up bigger study days into 25-minute blocks.
