Online Organization Apps that are truly lifesavers

Calendar by Luni

      This is one of my favorite Calendar apps to date. At the moment, since school is only online and my hours at work are relatively steady, I haven’t been using it. However, it has been one of the BEST calendar organizers I’ve ever used. 
      There are so many great features and functions with the pro access ($1.99 a month) like group calendars (that you and the family can contribute to together), monthly overviews that are clear and labeled, reminders, connections to Facebook and iMessage, etc. I love the layout the most, it’s super compatible with iPhone and Facebook and resembles the iPhone calendar except in a more concise and easier to understand layout.

If you're looking for physical planners (which I use just as often as digital ones), Erin Condren is an amazing site with beautiful, affordable, and customizable planners!

Productive - Habit Tracker

This is by far my FAVORITE app in the entire apple store. Productive helps encourage routines and offers so many amazing ideas, inspiration, and info. There are trackers for drinking water, exercising, night routines, morning routines, chore lists, work lists, etc. You can create your own custom list OR you can use a pre-made one.
      Productive has really changed how my daily routine looks. It’s a great app for notes and for recording your time spent doing certain things. I can set timers and alarms to keep me on track. I can set limitations on phone usage and duration for my work or for chores. This app is brilliant!
     The only downside is that it costs money to use these amazing features. I was turned away at first because of the price (I don’t remember it off hand). However, I do think it’s worth the buy even if you decide to use only the free portion and gather inspo when necessary.

Time Planner

      Time planner is another Calendar app that I love and it’s free to use. Hear that? FREE! It’s a really simple calendar that can connect to apple calendars and provides small alerts for events. I use it mostly to plan out the hours of my day, specifically for events outside of the house. I track my work schedule, my classes, my family visits, and any other big events using this app. 
      The great thing is that you can view your day in an hourly overview, add commuting time, and set alerts for yourself before the event. It’s easy to organize each event by color and title with a little icon depicting each. You can also set reminders and create notes. 
     Super simple app, but really helpful!


Lifesum

      Somehow, I keep coming back to Lifesum. I delete this app a lot (mostly because I’m a cheapskate and don’t like to spend money) yet, I keep re-downloading Lifesum because it’s great. I got this app years ago before they restricted a lot of the features for paid access only. Let me tell you, even though I’m cheap, this app is totally worth the monthly subscription.
      Lifesum lets you track your diet and set dietary goals for yourself. You can track water, veggies, fruit, and meat intake. You can scan barcodes on packaged food to add to your food diary. You can look up recipes. Create diet plans. Track your weight, calorie intake, body mass, and so much more! The app is easy to follow and super visually appealing. I love all of the emojis and the calming setup.
       Lifesum is great even if you don’t purchase the subscription! You can still use the food diary daily and can view some recipes/create dietary goals. It’s really helped me push myself towards cleaner eating.

Mealime

      Another meal app and one of my recent favorites! Mealime is a simple and sophisticated way to create meal plans, grocery lists, and view delicious recipes. It’s so much easier to find good recipes on this app compared to scrolling through long winded and ad-ridden food blogs on pinterest. You can favorite dishes that work well for you and your family and can create a sense of easy meal-prepping.
      I love it mostly for the fact that I can schedule days for my recipes so I know when to prepare them. But, it also makes grocery shopping a little less stressful and I’m thankful for that as well.











Egenda

      I exclusively use egenda for homework assignments. I stopped using a paper agenda after high school because I didn’t need it. My college classes only met once or twice a week and I never felt the need for a daily planner. 
     Egenda works wonders for me because I can write down each assignment and color code it by class. I can list whether it is a test, project, homework, or quiz and can mark the assignments by priority. It’s an easy way to view my homework by the week. I’ve also found that it is better to have my homework on my phone so that I can view my assignments on the go rather than having to wait when I get home to do them.


Preview app (Instagram)

      It is so hard for me to build an honest instagram following. I lost two followers the other day after posting a photo session with my little sister on my stories. Look, I’m not great at this instagram thing and will likely never be one of their influencers and that’s okay!
      Even still, I’ve found the preview app to be extremely helpful. It makes cataloging and scheduling pictures easier whilst also allowing me to “preview” how my instagram will look before I post any photos. There is also a great hashtag feature (that I no longer use, sadly) that has been really helpful when it comes to building a following, if you’re into that sort of thing.


And that’s all I have for this post! I hope these online organizational tools benefit you or provide some sort of inspiration for getting your life together. Not that it isn’t already!
