3 Ways to Up Your Planning & Organizing Game This Semester

There are tons more great organizing apps out there to help you track and manage just about everything in your world. Here are some popular ones I’ve tried:

  • GoodReads (iOS and Android) – Great for keeping track of what you’re currently reading and which books you want to read next.
  • Gratitude365 (iOS) – One of my 2015 goals was to keep a gratitude journal, so I use this app. It tracks the good things in your life and even lets you include photos for visual reminders.
  • Slice (iOS and Android) – An app for tracking packages. Slice searches your email for package tracking notifications and alerts you when they’ve been delivered. Great if you do a lot of online shopping!
  • MapMyRun and MyFitnessPal (iOS and Android) – Great for tracking exercise and nutrition. If you’re a runner, MapMyRun tracks your favorite routes, best times, and even the elevation of your runs. MyFitnessPal is great if you’re trying to eat healthier.
  • Plant Nanny (iOS and Android) – A water tracking app that gives you a virtual plant to babysit. Every time you drink a glass of water, you track it on the app and your plant grows. Silly but surprisingly effective.

Avoid this by putting some systems in place for your room or apartment. Here are some of my favorite tips:

Make a Cleaning Schedule

This was a game-changer for me. As someone who loves a clean space but also loves to procrastinate, I was always the girl wasting hours every Saturday cleaning her whole place from top to bottom.
