Outsmart Your Distractions

Are your thoughts easily interrupted? Read on for strategies that help you study smarter and stay focused.

• Stay Focused: Be proactive to navigate distracting times especially when sitting in a lecture as this is important time to be retaining learned information and ask questions to better understand the course

• Train Your Brain: Helping your mind recognize when focus is necessary is a skill that will be needed throughout college and your working life

This app is a gamified focus-timer, habit tracker and to-do list all in one so you’re covered on all bases here. When you want to focus on completing a goal (like finishing that big thing you’ve been putting off for weeks), you plant a little tree and the longer you keep away from your phone, the more it grows. What makes this one even better is that Flora has partnered with Trees.org which means actual trees are planted in Trees for the Future and Eden Reforestation Projects that work with local communities in Africa, East Asia, and South America when you use the app.
