Summer is one of the busiest times of the year; the kids get a break from school, and you have more vacations and activities planned than at any other time of year. However, staying organized and finding time for everything can be difficult. We’ve compiled this list of seven apps to help you get organized this summer.

Evernote is a free app that lets you create notes in a cloud environment. Then, your notes become available on your phone, desktop, or any other device where you have downloaded the app. This app makes a great tool for helping you get organized since you can house all of your files in one place. Evernote can store photos, documents, scanned items, and other items you need to organize.
Pomodoro Timer

If you’re constantly distracted when trying to work on projects, Pomodoro can help you stay focused. This productivity app helps you set up a series of timers. For example, if you want to clean out your garage this summer, you can use Pomodoro to schedule your breaks. You can set 20-minute alarms that are followed by short five-minute breaks. Best of all, the timers are customizable, and you can sync them to all of your devices.
Coach.me

If you have bad habits that you want to change, the Coach.me app can help you take the necessary steps to change these habits. Simply focus on one action and check in when you perform that action. For example, if you want to floss your teeth every day, flossing could be the action that you track. Then, you can reward yourself when you have completed the action every day for a certain amount of time.
Timeful

Timeful is an app that helps you schedule the tasks you need to get done on your to-do list by making scheduling suggestions. Google recently bought the app, but you can still download it.
If a task on your to-do list goes untouched for a period of time, Timeful will suggest a time and you can accept or reject this new scheduled item on your calendar. You can then track activities on your digital devices, such as the sleek and stylish Samsung Gear S2 smartwatch on the T-Mobile network by setting up calendar notifications. With Timeful, you’ll get more done.
IFTTT

This powerful workflow automation app helps you save time and get organized. IFTTT is short for “If this, then that.” With the app, you can personalize your device by programming actions. For example, if you get an email, then you can have IFTTT automatically store the contact information to your phone. You can program dozens of functions to make your life easier this summer.
LastPass

If you’ve ever forgotten a password, you need the LastPass app. This app stores all of your passwords in one place so you never have to reset them to access a website or application again.
You don’t have to worry about security either because Last Pass is password protected. The app enables you to use only one password instead of hundreds. LastPass can help you get organized and save time since you don’t have to go through the process of resetting passwords you’ve forgotten when trying to access an app.
24me

Forgetful people love the 24me app. This app lets you set up automatic reminders for meetings and events in your calendar. Once you do, you’ll never be late or miss out on activities that you’ve scheduled. In addition, 24me can also help you set up reminders for birthdays and anniversaries so you can send meaningful messages to show you care to people in advance of the occasion. In other words, 24me essentially acts like your virtual assistant to manage your calendar for you.
The apps above represent several that can help you make the most of your time. Don’t let another summer waste away. Try some of these organizational apps on your devices.
