Thankfully, there are digital tools and aids that work to prevent you from losing track of your obligations. Here are six excellent and completely free applications that Android-based mobile device users can try in order to manage their time more efficiently and increase general productivity.
PlanMyDay
This activity manager is very involved for being a free app. It not only allows you to manage your tasks according to when you need to do them, but it also allows you to note which tasks are most important and urgent.
Therefore, this app really lets you analyze your responsibilities and manage them, especially if you have several important projects to take care around the same time. Another great thing about PlanMyDay is that it is easily integrated with other services like Google Tasks and your mobile device’s calendar, so that you can easily import your activities and keep track of your plans.
Astrid Tasks
Here is a time management app that acts like you have your own personal assistant inside your smartphone. The makers of Astrid Tasks realize that the most important aspect of time management is being organized.
And that is the apps main purpose; it allows you to organize yourself in the best way possible to put yourself in the position of being as effective as possible. Using Astrid you can create reminders for important dates, make priority lists and even create subtasks if you want to really get into details.
The app automatically syncs to a cloud server provided for free by Astrid.com, so that you will always have access to your time management aids.
Remember the Milk
While Remember the Milk is not much different from Astrid in terms of functions, it is one of the best designed time management apps available. The design of the app itself is very flowing and logical, which really adds to the feeling of being in control.
An app that is this well organized itself gives you the feeling that it will be able to do the same for you. Set goals, create tasks, make lists, designate priorities and save all your information on RTM’s server so that you have access to everything you need in the cloud at all times.
Any.DO
Once you get to check out Any.DO in its entirety, you will probably be wondering how it is able to be a free app. This task manager is very thorough and the amount of features it has for a free application is truly remarkable.
Cloud synchronization is of course included in the service, and it even features things like speech recognition and auto-complete options for reoccurring tasks. The best thing about it is that it is very simplistic despite being so packed full of features.
Lift
Lift is an app that strives to enable you to create good habits for yourself. It is a perfect application for people who have goals, whether they are exercise, dieting or studying goals. It will give you progress reports every month or every week, depending how you set it, which will let you know how close you are getting to achieving your goal.
From making sure to get eight hours of sleep each night to remembering to scan bills and receipts every month, Lift can help you create habits you wish you had.
Chronos
This app is a little complex and sometimes it doesn't work perfectly, but the idea is pretty great. Chronos uses your mobile device’s accelerometer, GPS and other location services to track what you have been doing.
For example, if you want to spend 9 hours at work each day instead of 8, the app can let you know. Or if you have been taking really long lunch breaks at your favorite sandwich shop and want to shorten them, you can use this app for that as well.
It’s another good app for trying to get more sleep than usual, and it starts measuring your sleep cycle once your phone becomes inactive for a longer period of time.
