\"Clear+<\/a><\/p>\n

An app I simply can’t live without is Clear+<\/a>. Right now, it is $4.99 in the App Store, but it is worth every penny and then some to me. It is a very simply premise actually – just a bunch of lists. A list of lists! I can organize everything from a traditional ‘To Do’ list to my grocery lists, wish lists, ideas, etc. The best part is that you can drag and drop items in a list to help prioritize. This comes in handy with my grocery list, because I can reorganize it so similar items are grouped (or if you’re really OCD, you can organize it by where it is located in the store). I can also prioritize my To Do lists in order if what needs to get done immediately through what needs to get done at my earliest convenience.<\/p>\n

\"Clear+<\/a><\/p>\n

There is something so very satisfying about swiping an item off the To Do list – Clear+ rewards you with a buzz and a chime. It’s so addicting, I can’t wait to finish a task! I have also come to realize that if I don’t write something down, it won’t happen. I check in with my app about 3-5 times a day to keep my goals in mind.<\/p>\n

When parents ask me for suggestions for their child who loves technology but needs a little help staying organized, I suggest many free apps from Reminders<\/span> to MyHomework<\/a>, Google Calendar<\/span>, CalenMob<\/a>, etc. Yet for some, these free apps just have too many bells, whistles, and complications. Some students need the simplicity of Clear, and I am happy to suggest the app to them.<\/p>\n

Which apps or other tools do you use to stay organized?<\/p>\n
