Apps to make life easier

There are a number of simple apps that make life easier:

Instacart: one student mentioned that given the cold winters, the amount of time and energy saved getting to/from the grocery store was worth it!
Seamless: need to order in? Seamless is a great way to get food delivered.
Venmo: going out to eat and need to split a bill? Venmo is an easy way to transfer funds.
Insight Timer: amidst everything going on, if you need to take a break, use this meditation app.
Google Keep: need to remember some important details? Use this app to keep notes.
IFTTT: If This Then That is an app that helps you automate processes. There are many custom templates to choose from!

Apps to stay organized or get more done

In addition to the productivity tools that we shared in Week 17, here are some apps that were mentioned by students and alums as having had an impact on their experience as a student:
