Procrastination is a hard thing to beat when it comes to schoolwork, especially when that work isn’t something exciting. That’s why people create apps to help you stay on task and make studying an easier habit to reinforce. Apps like Flora and Study Bunny do this through an incentive or goal.
Flora is rated 4.7 in the app store with in-app purchases and helps with to-do lists and habit tracking. This helps you set study timers and break periods with the goal of helping your tree grow, and the longer you study in a single period, the more you can help your tree grow. This app was straightforward to use, the only setup needed was creating an account before starting. Then the more you study the more kinds of seeds you can unlock and grow.
This app also has purchasable options that can lead to real trees being planted, Flora has partnered with organizations like Trees for the Future and Eden Reforestation Projects to plant trees whenever a user’s tree grows or dies (Flora-Green Focus).
Even if you don’t want to look into the purchase options you can still stay on task and prevent your tree from dying. This app was fun and easy to use and was an efficient way of keeping everything in one place. The optional stake of putting money on the line to plant a couple of trees is also a neat way to get people to commit to their goals.
Study Bunny is rated at a 4.8 and provides a study timer as well as study materials. This app is made around the incentive of keeping your “study bunny” happy by doing things such as feeding it and giving it new items that are acquired through staying on track during your study period.
Study Bunny doesn’t require an account and everything can be done on the app’s main page so if simplicity is what you prefer, this app may be better for you. Things like to-do lists and flashcards are also available, making Study Bunny a much more immersive way of staying on task and they are all available for free so you’re able to get the most out of this app.
It’s a lot easier to stay on task when there’s an actual reason to, and tiny goals like growing trees or feeding digital bunnies can be silly but fun ways to keep yourself focused. Flora and Study Bunny are great apps for building better study habits, if you have a hard time staying on task then give these apps a try.
