Feeling Less Productive? Here are 5 Productivity Apps to Get Your Lazy Ass Up and Working Again.

Since last year, most of us have been experiencing a huge decline in productivity. Let’s face it: COVID-19 has made us LAZY.

Working from home? More like turning off your camera and sleeping during meetings. 

Internet down? More like switching off your internet and saying you can’t work today because no internet.  

Yes, we know your secrets. Or let's say we might have done the same thing too. 

So, we can imagine the horror you felt when our PM announced that there will be no more working from home. We understand that some of you (and us) might face problems when it comes to readjusting to working at the office after months of working from home. 

But don’t worry. Goody will save you. #GoodySaves

Here are some apps that can help increase your productivity so that you boss won’t come to your table and catch you sleeping on the job. 

[1] Trello

Sometimes, working alone doesn’t really mean we're working. Some of us, just don’t have self-motivation or self-discipline that forces us to complete our work. 

Trello is an app that understands that. With Trello you can create a team board and work together with your friends to complete your daily to-dos.

The board might seem complicated at first. But, since you’re probably procrastinating while checking it out, use that procrastination time to do something productive at least la. Learn how to use it! Its actually simple. 

Trello gives you the flexibility of adding cards to the boards. Each title represents a project that you are working on and the cards are the sub projects. You can then add details to each card, like members, deadlines, labels, attachments and more. 

Since most of us are all lazy, unmotivated and undisciplined, add your friends on your Trello borard and turn productivity into a competition. 


[2] Todoist

Todoist is actually just your basic to-do-list. Sometimes when you have so much work to do, you will create a to-do-list to feel like you’ve made actual progress when in reality you just procrastinating!

The way it works is simple. Just add a task to your list, add a due date and then stop procrastinating and go do that task. Once your done, check it off your list, then move on to the next task. 

Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy. 


[3] Pomodriod

This app works well for people who are using the Pomodoro technique. It is actually just as pomodoro timer.

Stop scratching your head while wondering what pomodoro technique is. You should be ashamed of yourself!

The pomodoro technique is a well-known time management tool. You use the pomodroid timer to break down one task into 25-minute intervals separated by a short break. 

If you need to prepare a report for example, you work on the report for 25 minutes, then take a break, then continue for 25 minutes then take another break and repeat till its done. 

This technique works well as it helps you retrain your brain to focus and also resist the temptation to self-interrupt. 


[4] Timecamp 

This is actually just a free version of rescue time. Most freelancers or teams use it to track the time they spend of each task. It is essentially an activity and time tracker.

Lazy people also can use this app. When downloaded, it tracks all the activities you do on your computer. Which means, if you’re scrolling though Facebook watching cat videos, it will be tracking that. 

Later, you can actually look at how you’ve spent your time, learn how to focus on more productive activities and collected data can also help you identify when you’re most focused and when you’re not. 

Don’t be confused. This app is for those who are really "kan cheong" about everything and needs to be organized and over productive all the time.

We only suggest this app so that the lazy ones can just try to use it and give themselves the illusion that they are the organized and over productive kinda person. 


[5] Pocket

Pocket isn’t really a to-do-list or activity tracker app. It is an app that lets you scroll through articles and save them for later.

This app is for times when you have completed your work but want to look busy so that your boss doesn’t give you more work. That doesn’t really sound productive does it? 

So, let’s say you’re pretending to be busy and looking at some random article, while reading the intro you realise you could actually use the article, but you can’t keep reading it now, all you have to do is save it on Pocket and view it later when you are free. 

Besides that, when you save an article on pocket, it will remove all the clutter from the article, like the random ads and photos, leaving you with the important information that you need. 

It also provides you with personalized content based on your interest. 

Instead of going on TikTok, go on Pocket and fill you brain with knowledge instead of the latest dance moves to Justin Bieber's new song.
