There are a massive number of different apps out there to help you with planning your time, organising your life and generally getting on top of things. Everything from super simple to-do lists to super complex Project Planners. We are going to give you a few recommendations here of free programmes that you can use to help you with your planning. 

1 - Todo List

A really good way of helping you to arrange your tasks. Add a new task with a deadline, and you're good to go! It will remind you when a task is due and give you a list of tasks that need to be completed today. There is a free version, but if you want a calendar as well, you need to pay ($4 a month). 

2 - Click Up

This is a little more powerful than Todo, it gives you more control over your tasks and provides space for you to be able to plan out a full project. This might be useful when planning your dissertation or longer projects. The free version has everything you'll ever need for a simple project, and you can share your planning with your supervisor! 

3 - LifeUp

If you're a fan of getting rewards and seeing progress bars go up, then LifeUp will be able to help! It is a Gamified task tracking app that allows you to add repeatable tasks with a set regularity (like checking the Academic Forum every 2 days). When you achieve the outcome, you get a reward!
