Easy and Practical Productivity Tips I Use in University

I’m sure you’re already aware of the same old time management and productivity tips – goal setting, daily scheduling, and more. In this blog post, I hope to give you some more unique, practical, and specific tips to try out!

Use Microsoft To Do/Apple Reminders for Deadlines

I used to put deadlines in my calendar but recently discovered that I much prefer using a To Do list application for this purpose because:

  • I can see every upcoming deadline at a glance
  • Easier to create and group deadlines quickly
  • Bonus serotonin when checking off a reminder with a “ding” sound

My favourite feature of these To Do list apps is when they automatically extract the date of the task you write out (even for recurring tasks).

I only have to type this out once to get a weekly reminder

Another unexpected bonus is that the iOS reminders app actually syncs with Microsoft To Do if you have your Microsoft account added to your iPhone.

    I have to try this To Do thing. I keep using calendar or Keep but Calendar gets busy and I’m not sure if/how Keep can remind me of things; especially repeating. He; I just checked and it does; I’ll have to compare them; especially snoozing; I’m a big snoozer of tasks.
