5 apps to manage your study time this summer

If you have to study during the summer, you will want to make the most of your study time so that you don’t miss any sunsets with your nivers, but for them you need a good method of working. From our residence hall in Barcelona, we want to help you achieve this. We are going to talk to you about five applications that will optimise your time to study everything you set out to do without falling into frustration.

5 apps to manage your study time

aTimeLogger

This application is also part of the apps that control activities and times, it has predefined categories to be able to select as food, sleep, transport, nivers or domestic tasks. It also produces graphs and reports to export and share this information with a work group, for example. And you can use nive any device thanks to its synchronization. 

Toggl 

If you research the niverso of time management applications, Toggl is one of the most popular applications to record your activities and the time spent on each of them. The app creates statistics and reports so you can calculate how much time you have spent on the subjects you have scheduled, for example. You can also assign a value to time, monitor and track group work, and add tags. And the web and mobile app are synchronized so you can use it from any device. 

Forest 

Another app for those who have trouble concentrating, Forest helps you concentrate on a task through the gamification of time. With Forest you plant a virtual tree that takes 30 minutes to mature. During that time you can't do anything with your mobile phone, to look at WhatsApp or another application, you'll have to give up and run out of tree. As you complete the cycles, you create an ever-growing forest and that means you'll be more productive.    

ClearFocus - Pomodoro Timer

This app helps you perform tasks with the Pomodoro technique, do you know it? It consists of dedicating 25 uninterrupted minutes to a task and resting 5. This way you get a great concentration in those 25 minutes knowing that you are going to rest later. In the app you complete pomodoros and if you want you can see the graphs and statistics to measure your productivity and evolution.    

Wunderlist

With Wunderlist you create task lists, prioritizing their importance and planning them according to priorities; you have an option for reminders and modifications, you can also delegate tasks and discuss them with your classmates for group work. In addition, it has a simple and straightforward design. 

With all these applications, you no longer have any excuse to optimize your study time this summer. We will be waiting for you at our residence hall in Barcelona when you return with all your homework done so that you can face your new year at university far from your home and your city. 

Come on, we're waiting for you! 

Happy summer!
