If you’re working from home right now (or ever, to be honest), it’s easy to lose focus.
Whether it’s in your personal of professional life, working towards a goal can motivate you to achieve it.
Need some help keeping things on track? Here are five productivity apps that might come in handy.

Rescue Time
Is balancing your time causing you concern, or maybe you’re spending too much time on your phone? Rescue time tracks the sites you visit and categorises them and also logs the amount of times you pick up your phone so you can see if you’re spending too much time on social media instead of working, or if your smartphone is distracting you from achieving your goals.

Keeping on top of everything is simple with Todoist, which lets you easily track one-off and recurring tasks on a simple-to-use interface. You can also add shared projects, priority levels, and integrate with programs like Dropbox, Slack and more to keep on top of projects in one place.

Trello
This handy app is ideal for co-working and organising a team with a simple list-making format.
