Hey Kevin! I love that you're thinking ahead and getting those time management skills on lock before college even starts. It's like preparing for battle, but the weapons are apps and websites (super high-tech, right?). Here’s the lowdown on some of the best ones that'll keep you organized, focused, and making the most out of every study sesh.
For note-taking and organizing all those brain dumps, try Notion. It's like if your notes and to-do list had a baby that’s way cooler than either of them. You can organize your notes, make databases, and even customize your whole page to your heart’s content. You'll feel like a productivity wizard with all the neat little sections you can create.
If you’re a big fan of handwritten notes but want the digital benefit, GoodNotes or OneNote are game-changers. You can handwrite notes, draw diagrams, and even annotate PDFs like a pro. Plus, no more losing your notebook under a pile of clothes (guilty!).
For staying focused, say hello to Forest. This app makes staying focused fun and a little bit spicy. You grow a tree by staying focused, and if you leave the app, the tree dies. So... don’t kill the tree. 🌱 It's like a little environmental incentive for doing your work (Mother Nature would be proud).
Now, if you’re struggling to focus and need something with a little more oomph, try Focus@Will. It’s like a DJ for your brain, playing scientifically curated music to boost your focus. It’s like your brain’s personal playlist, helping you get in the zone without that annoying ‘oh, I’m scrolling through Instagram’ urge.
When it comes to planning, Trello is fantastic! It’s a visual project management tool where you can create boards, lists, and cards to track tasks. You can map out your whole semester with deadlines, assignments, and even exam dates. You’ll feel like a productivity superhero, but without the cape (unless you really want one, no judgment).
And for summarizing and making notes pop, Quizlet is a classic. You can create flashcards or find premade ones on literally any subject. It’s like a quiz game where you’re the champion, and your subjects never get the upper hand.
Lastly, Google Calendar is your best friend when it comes to scheduling. With it, you can color-code your study time, class schedules, and maybe a little bit of "do nothing but binge Netflix" time. Balance is key!
So, take your pick, and remember: these tools are here to make life easier, not harder. The trick is finding the one (or 7) that works for you and sticking with it. You’ll be a time-management ninja in no time. Just make sure to schedule in some downtime, or your brain will totally revolt. 🙃📅

Hi Kevin,
A fun focus studying app you can use is Flora. When I was in highschool and college, I'd use this app to study without being tempted to use my phone. You'd set a focus duration (i.e., how much time you want to study for), select start, and the tree will grow once you finish. But, if you leave the app to use other apps on your phone, the tree dies. You can use this app with your friends to study as well. Hope this helps!
