In order to stay on track and achieve more, here are six apps that every student should have on his phone.
QualityTime
When you are in the middle of studying and that Facebook alert rings, it is just too hard not to check. And, when you see the light flashing on your phone that means some kind of notification is waiting for you, it’s hard to keep studying without feeling distracted.
Stay focused with a free app that tracks the time you spend on each of your phone apps and then allows you to set time periods when specific apps are blocked. With QualityTime, you can control your own impulses that have you scrolling through Facebook newsfeeds when you should be studying for that big test in the morning.
Maths Alarm Clock
A recurring nightmare for many students is oversleeping for an important class. With Maths Alarm Clock, a simple math problem is presented that you have to answer correctly in order to turn off the alarm. This free app ensures your brain is working in the wee hours of the morning, and you aren’t just automatically hitting a button in your sleep.
GDocs
As a student, you might already be familiar with Google Docs, but the GDocs app means you can now check your documents as you rush to the printer. GDocs allows you to share documents over a cloud storage network, so no more losing the memory stick with your big paper on it or forgetting to email the right version to yourself. Now, you can even edit on the go with the free app right on your phone.
And, if you want your note taking and on-the-go document editing on a whole new level, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 smartphone offers a large 5.7" screen that makes mobile editing so much easier. Try out the phone that is almost a tablet and see how much easier browsing and working on your smartphone becomes. This is a great pick to help students do more without being chained to a desk.
Astrid Task
Students can stay on task with a to-do list that helps them straighten out priorities, remember deadlines, send alerts, make all projects searchable, and organize their lives. If you are ready for a state-of-the-art task app, then you will want to check out Astrid Task.
Mint
Being smart with money can be hard for a student. Most of the time, you don’t have a lot of spare cash, but you do have a lot of upcoming expenses. A smart and free app like Mint can help you avoid racking up higher, unnecessary debt to pay off later along with school loans.
Mint will integrate with your bank accounts and credit cards to help you look at spending, create budgets and stay on track. It’s a lot of help for being frugal, and the only thing you really have to do (besides downloading the app) is avoid whatever tempts you to make impulse buys.
Sworkit
Need a study break? Sworkit is the perfect thing to get you moving and do a quick workout when you need to give your mind a rest and break free of the sluggish feeling studying can cause. Simply choose your workout style on the free app (strength, yoga, cardio, stretching, or a mix) and choose the amount of time you want to work out. You can spend as few as five minutes on a workout, with your phone showing you every step of the process, counting down the time you should spend on each set, and tracking your workouts each day.
While the really hard work is up to you, these apps can make light of the busywork and distractions that can cause school to feel impossible and overwhelming. Find the apps that work best for you and use the current technology as a tool to achieve more.
