Get it together with these colorful productivity apps

Need an app that takes a playful approach to keeping you on track? These fun productivity helpers will keep you up-to-date, help you stay focused, and more – all with a wink and a smile.

Habitica is a gamified organizer that pushes you to accomplish the personal things it's too easy to put off. Build lists of daily self-care habits, personal-improvement to-dos, and longer-term goals. Then level up your avatar with fun virtual costumes, pets, and gold coins as you check off each task. Bonus: Set real-world rewards for accomplishing your tasks (an ice cream, perhaps?).

Are Pomodoro timers lacking a certain something? Motivate yourself to be more productive by planting virtual trees, shrubs, and other foliage that grow taller the longer you stay off your phone. Unlock Pro to view your productivity statistics, access more plant species, and earn coins towards planting real trees.

If you'd rather be on the beach than at your desk, turn your tasks into bubble-like Water Balls, which make a satisfying "pop" when completed. Make your most important or pressing task the Water Ball of the Day, and set deadlines and priority for the others. As you pop bubbles, unlock treasure chests and build tropical islands – the perfect destinations for a work break.
