We all want to be more productive, and as students, we need to be. Luckily, plenty of apps can help us achieve our goals. Here are some of the top favorites by students around the world:
-
Google Drive
Google Drive is a free file storage and sharing service that you can use to access your files from anywhere. You can create documents, spreadsheets, presentations and drawings in Google Docs or use Google Slides to create presentations. You can also work with others on projects by sharing the document or presentation with them. They will be able to see your changes as you make them, so everyone stays up to date with the project's progress.
If you need more than just simple text files or pictures, several apps can help with these tasks as well:
- Microsoft Word - A word processing app designed for Windows 10 devices.
- Microsoft Excel - An application used for creating spreadsheets.
-
Evernote
Evernote is a note-taking app that allows you to take notes, record audio and photos, and organize your work. It's the perfect tool for students who want to keep track of their assignments in one place.
Evernote lets you create multiple notebooks (or "notebooks") so that you can separate different types of information. One notebook for class notes, another for reading material from assignments, and another for personal reflections on your time at school. Each notebook has tags that help categorize content within it. For example, "Homework" or "Reading."
Each note within a notebook has its date so that users can easily track when they made each entry. Evernote also allows users to add tags using keywords or hashtags (#tag). This makes it easier to find relevant information later on.
Users have access to the web version of Evernote and apps available for mobile devices like Android phones or iPhones/iPads. This means no matter where students are—at home in front of their computers or on campus walking around campus between classes—they can still access all their notes stored in Evernote's servers!

Asana
With Asana, you can manage tasks and projects and assign them to specific team members. It's also an excellent way for students and teachers to stay organized and on task without worrying about forgetting essential deadlines.
Asana is free for teams of up to 15 people. But if you have more than that in your class or study group, you can upgrade to an enterprise plan for $4 per person per month. (or $8 per person per month for the Plus plan).
-
Trello
Trello is an excellent app for managing projects with others. Trello allows you to create boards, add tasks, move them around, assign due dates, and delegate responsibilities. You can even have your team members comment on the task. The best part about Trello is that it's free! It's available on all platforms (iOS, Android, Windows etc.). So you will always have access to your projects no matter where you are.
When managing projects with others, it can be helpful to have an easy way of communicating what you're working on at any given time and where each part of the project stands today (who's doing what). This helps keep everyone in sync so that no one gets confused about who is supposed to do what next!
-
MindMeister
MindMeister is an online mind-mapping tool that allows you to organize your thoughts and ideas. Mind maps are a helpful way to visualize the different parts of your work, allowing you to see all the interconnections between various elements. This way, it can help students find new ways of approaching an assignment or a problem.
MindMeister is easy to use, even for college students, but it also has more advanced features if you want to learn more about mind mapping as a technique. It's available on web browsers and mobile apps (Android or iOS), so it's perfect for taking notes on the go!

Focus Keeper
With Focus Keeper, you can set a timer and goal for whatever you're trying to accomplish. The timer will go off at regular intervals when you start working and when it reaches your goal. This can help keep your mind on the task at hand so that you aren't distracted by other tasks that need doing.
It's also easy to get distracted from an activity if others are doing the same thing as you—they might be getting more done than you are! With Focus Keeper, this is less of a problem because it allows for some privacy in your work life. No one knows how much time has passed since they started working on their project (or whether or not they've even started yet).
