Time-saving tools
We hope just being aware of all the moving parts (and this is in addition to classwork, clubs, your social life!) will inspire you to adopt some kind of master calendar. Here are some helpful apps/programs that can help you:
Reduce time-wasting
-
As the names of RescueTime, StayFocusd and SelfControl imply, stay on track of where your time goes by limiting your activities and focusing on what you must!
-
Forest - grows a tree when you stay off your phone
-
Keep task lists, and so you don't lose track of things to-do using apps such as Remember the Milk.
Help meal planning:
-
Mealime – Encourages healthy eating and easy meal planning - creates shopping lists
-
Paprika – Manages recipes and auto-generates grocery lists
Increase efficiency with common tasks
-
Increase your email productivity with Boomerang or Revive Your Inbox to clear your mind of all the incoming information.
-
Even daily routines such as choosing what to wear takes up time. Like Mark Zuckerberg, perhaps choose a few staple outfits to stick to.
Reduce mental clutter
-
Or, if that's not your style, use online/smartphone calendars and associated alarms (Google Calendar).
-
Microsoft To-do, Basecamp, and Trello are other task lists that keep your ongoing tasks in one place (and are shareable).
Reduce physical clutter
Eliminate "the search" for things
-
Track your missing items with Tile.
-
Use Evernote to keep track of sites you've visited, especially for recruiting!
