Productivity Apps?

[yakattack]

I hope everyone has had a good start to term two!

I was wondering, does anybody have any suggestions for apps that increase productivity, limit procrastination, etc.? I have SelfControl on my computer, yet my phone has since proven itself to be just as much of a distraction (to the detriment of my better judgement...). Any tips as well would be awesome!

Better and potentially cheaper than an app: give your phone to your parents when you want to study.

I gave my phone to Mum today - two bio chapters and a lit essay later and I didn't check AN once!

Forest! Grow a tree and if you go off the app your tree dies.  Can set for certain times, I like 25 min blocks.

Don't use this but it's an interesting concept, Habit RPG, or I think it's now habitica. You get exp for ticking off tasks, and then your character grows stronger, and you can get armory and stuff.

Leechblock or similar app for chrome.

When it gets bad i unplug the internet from my room (once i cut the cable, only $2 to replace but priceless productivity, my procrastination can get real bad).

Give your phone to your parents.

Have a friend hold you accountable. If you break your promise, you have to give $x to a charity, flip a coin to decide whether its one you love or one you hate (to stop you feeling good about procrastinating).
