​Do Time Management Apps Help Your Productivity?

Time Management Apps

How To Build Time Management Skills

If you work from home, you have the freedom to choose how to use every minute of the day. But without good organization, you can find yourself wasting a lot of your precious time.

Countless apps, tools, and systems aim to help you better manage your time. Get too bogged down on these apps and you’ll waste all your time working out how to use all of their features!

The best time management apps perform a specific simple duty for you in a manner better than traditional time-keeping methods can. 

Supercharge Your To-Do Lists

For example, you may jot your tasks down in a to-do list on a pad. Apps like Remember The Milk and Todoist work to replace that to-do list with a convenient app that syncs across all of your devices. You can get reminders by email, Twitter, Skype, or mobile app. Tasks can be broken down further into subtasks, and you can share to-do lists with your colleagues and family.
You might consider using an app like Remember The Milk if you find yourself coming up with small things all the time that you want to remember.

Split Your Work into Manageable Chunks with Pomodoro Apps

What about organizing your time throughout the day so you can always concentrate on the task at hand?

Francesco Cirillo created the Pomodoro time management technique in the 1980s. You break your time into high-attention 25-minute sessions followed by breaks of 3-5 minutes. Online apps like Tomato Timer make trying out this focusing technique easy.

You might find that 25 minutes isn’t the right amount of time to get a good chunk of work done each time. Depending on your line of work, consider adjusting to 90-minute sessions followed by 20-minute breaks.
​
The important thing is to work when you’re supposed to work and rest when you’re supposed to rest. This allows you to maintain intense focus on your work for sustained periods without getting burned out.

Manage Team Project Time Effectively with Project Management Tools

You probably don’t just have to worry about your own time – you need to consider the time of others working on a project together with you. Often, they’ll be waiting for you to complete a task or you’ll be waiting for them.

The more people involved in a project and the more intertwined tasks to keep track of the more difficult project management becomes.

Collaborative project management apps like Trello and Asana make organizing and prioritizing tasks between team members easier. Everyone has access to the same boards through their browsers and phones, and tasks can be set dependencies so you can see what needs to be completed first and the knock-on effects of missing deadlines.
​
Project management tools like Trello are good for high-level management of time without getting bogged down micromanaging the time spent on every task.

See How You Really Spend Your Time with Time Tracking Software

Do you sometimes wonder where the day went? Time tracking software like RescueTime and Toggl can automatically logs the applications and websites that you spend your time using so at the end of the day you can check out reports that help you understand your daily habits better.
​

With a paid subscription, these apps can be set to alert you when you’ve achieved your daily goals or block websites that are distracting you. Similar apps are available for your smartphone, which should really be banished from your home office when you’re trying to get work done.
Build Healthy Habits
It can take time to build healthy habits like periodically stretching or drinking more work. Habit training apps like HabitMinder can gently prod you to form these healthy habits and keep you accountable with reports and sessions screens. You can choose from predefined habits or create some of your own.
Use Time Management Apps to Your Advantage
There’s been surprisingly little research into whether time management apps can help productivity significantly. An important thing to remember is the time management app is great at helping you track time on a task once you’ve decided to prioritize it, but it’s still up to you to prioritize the right things in the first place.

Growth Mindset

Moving on up​

Your career success is in direct correlation with your attitude and your mindset. With the right growth mindset, you can save more money, practice good health, secure a successful career, and achieve your other goals.

Deciding to own and adjust your attitude will set you in the right growth mindset and will enhance your career in many ways.
​

1. YOUR ATTITUDE DETERMINES YOUR APTITUDE

Although this may seem obvious, we often don’t think about why this occurs. Here are some ways this happens:
​
  • Your beliefs influence your level of efforts.
  • You subconsciously strive to “be right” in terms of what you believe about yourself.
  • Your attitude ultimately either pushes you forward or discourages you.​

2. TYPES OF GOALS

Each area of life may have different objectives, each of which requires a different attitude. For example, below is a list of common goals with suggestions and ideas to use as you as you work in that direction.
​
A. Furthering Your Education/Training
​
  • Prioritze projects related to your education.
  • Build a strong sense of confidence toward your own success.
  • Learn about the facts you need to know that lead you to your success.
​
B. Getting a Job 

  • Be realistic about your abilities and the jobs that are available.
  • Be optimistic and know that there are employers who need your help.
  • Learn to enhance the skills you need to have and increase your confidence.
​
C. Overcoming an Obstacle

  • Recognize that the obstacle is only a challenge and believe that you’ll get through it.
  • Become conscious of the present issues and acknowledge that you have to rresolve them.  
​
D. Helping Others    

  • Observe how other people help each other.
  • Focus on our common humanity. How would you want to be helped?
​
E. Managing Your Money Successfully

  • Practice being proactive.
  • Take control of your spending habits.
  • Be consistent about your own financial management and refuse to give up.
​
F. Healthy Living
           
  • Recognize any troublesome attitudes and work on their transformation.
  • Analyze what you’re doing and "find your why".
  • Make a solid commitment to yourself to change your unhealthy behaviors.
​

3. CERTAIN ATTITUDES CAN LIMIT YOUR SUCCESS​

Here are a few common approaches that may not serve you as you reach for your goals:
​
  • Self doubt.
  • Low self confidence.
  • Living in denial. ​
4. CERTAIN ATTITUDES CAN ENSURE YOUR SUCCESS
​Positive attitudes lead you in the right direction. Here are some that can assist you in your career:

  • Positive thinking.
  • Being confident.
  • Being responsible and taking action.
​

​Being aware of how your attitudes influence your results will help you direct your own mindset toward growth, and subsequently enjoy a more succesful career and balanced life.
 
Learn to apply different methods to change your attitudes and you’ll enjoy a more successful career. You can truly live your dreams by choosing and handling your own attitude.
