As an executive function coach, I understand that maintaining focus and managing time can be challenging for many people. Fortunately, there are apps that can help you stay productive and achieve your goals. In this blog post, I’ll introduce you to 5 top apps that can aid in boosting productivity and building healthy habits.

Forest app to reduce distractions and stay focused

Are you easily distracted? Do you find yourself losing focus on your work?

Forest is the app for you! This app helps you stay on task and visualize your progress. You simply set a timer for the amount of time you want to work without interruption, and as you work, a tree grows on your screen. If you exit the app before the timer ends, the tree dies. Over time, you’ll have a forest of trees, representing the time you’ve spent focused and productive.

Notion app to get organized

Notion is an all-in-one productivity app that helps you stay organized and on top of your tasks.

You can customize your dashboard to reflect your specific needs, whether it’s daily tasks, assignment tracking, calendars, class notes, job applications, and more. Notion is highly flexible and can be tailored to fit your unique lifestyle.

Loop Habit Tracker app to create healthy habits and routines

Loop Habit Tracker is a great app for those looking to create and track healthy habits and routines.

It helps you stay accountable to yourself and motivates you to continue building positive habits. Simply set up a daily reminder for your habit, track your progress, and celebrate your success!

Study Bunny app to gamify studying

Studying can be tedious, but with Study Bunny, it can be fun and rewarding!

This app gamifies studying by allowing you to earn coins for every study session. You can use those coins to buy items or music in the game store. The app also has a flashcard feature that you can use to quiz yourself.

Google Calendar/Google Tasks app for task management

Google Calendar and Google Tasks work together seamlessly to help you manage your schedule and tasks. Use Google Calendar to visually map out your day and plug in reminders for important appointments and deadlines.

Google Tasks can be used to create checklists and reminders for smaller tasks that need to be completed throughout the day.

In conclusion, productivity apps can be powerful tools for boosting focus, managing time, and building healthy habits.

While these apps can be incredibly useful in improving productivity, they are not a substitute for personalized guidance and support from an executive function coach.
