Productivity tools for procrastinators

All the apps you need to start getting things done.

Finding it hard to get started on that big project? Feeling overwhelmed by too many tasks and don’t know where to begin? These apps are perfect for putting your priorities in order and pushing you to make progress.

Take better notes

With Goodnotes, you’ll never have the excuse of having left your notebook at home to put off your next task. Not only will you always have your notes on hand, this app makes it much easier to capture and organise all your thoughts. You can jot down everything in any form – handwriting, doodles, typed text, audio – search and tidy up your notes, fix typos and create checklists.

Cat doodles, scribbled equations – it’s all doable with Goodnotes.

Create good habits

Half the battle of getting things done is ensuring your body and mind are conditioned for productivity. Me+ gives you the space to organise your life and create the good habits that will lead to better sleep, diet, wellbeing – and therefore concentration. Build and track your daily habits with handy Home Screen widgets where you can check off those afternoon walk and water drinking goals.

Me+ prioritises your wellbeing to set you up for tackling tasks.

Outsource efficiency

Need to fire off 50 emails but don’t have time to make sure they’re perfectly phrased and typo-free? Grammarly will make suggestions as you write for better tone, grammar and vocab, as well as amending your spelling along the way. Let the AI rewrite your waffle and turn it into tight prose.

Send slick, error-free emails and messages with Grammarly.

Find a routine

Are you more of a morning person, or do you find your flow in the afternoon? Fabulous knows we can’t be super-productive every hour of the day and helps you build a daily routine that suits your priorities. Use the app to keep on top of your to-do lists and track your goals. It also offers coaching courses specifically geared to improving your productivity.

Use Fabulous to create a realistic daily routine that works for you.

Skip to the good part

It offers thousands of summaries of bestselling non-fiction titles, so that you can digest the principle concepts in just 15 minutes. You can even read book summaries on how to get things done!

Start delegating

Sometimes you just need another family member to step up and take some responsibilities off your plate. With TimeTree, you can time-manage your family life with a shared calendar and sync up on the where, how and what needs to happen. Plan who is picking up the kids, add in tasks and events, share checklists and avoid your time being double-booked.

TimeTree offers a neat way to organise (and colour code!) your life.
