When I wasn’t aware much about different apps, I used Calendar, Time tracker, and Note-taking apps like notepad and so on.
“The purpose of life is not to be happy—but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you lived at all.”
– Leo Rosten
Here are some of the apps that I recommend to manage your time:
Todoist is a task management app, in which you can add different tasks with due dates.
You can easily categorize tasks and projects with different types and tags. It is a very flexible app to use. It’s available on browser, windows, mac, android, and iOS. It’s a user-friendly app.
It’s a time management and scheduling calendar app by Google. I personally use it for my everyday work. You can create and edit events. It doesn’t take a long time to make a schedule. If you looking for an easy-to-use calendar then this is the perfect app to use. For me, it hardly takes 15 minutes to create my weekly schedule.
4 Benefits of Using Time Management Tools
1. Helps you to be organized
Tools and apps make you more organized. You can easily organize all your tasks and work in the app. Apps will remind you about the work so that you can be focused.
I use Google Calendar to schedule my work. Whenever I have a task to finish, I will get a notification before 15 minutes of starting a task.
2. It makes it easy to plan your schedule
As I said earlier, it becomes really easy to plan your entire day. You don’t have to carry your to-do list and tasks. You can add all your important tasks and work in a particular timeframe and start working.
3. Increase your productivity
I am using time management tools for a really long time and it helps me to become more consistent. I plan my weekly articles of Medium so I don’t forget to publish regularly.
It will make you more productive.
4. It will help you to become more professional with your time
If you want to handle your time, you have to manage it like a profession. You can’t take it for granted.
One day, if you take your time for granted. After some time you will make a habit and you will lose your control over time.
Be very careful with your time.
“Everyday that I procrastinate, every day that I sit stagnant in fear, every day that I fail to better myself, someone else out there with the same goals and dreams as me is doing the exact opposite.”
– Noel DeJesus
Whenever you are sitting free or procrastinate, remember there are many people who are working to fulfill their goals. To manage your time, you have to be willing to do anything.
Today’s prompt is,
If you are already using any of the tools or software to manage your time then share it with us. If you never used any kind of tool then you can start using it and share your experience.
