Best Apps For Productivity & Studying

Hello there lovelies! It hasn’t been long since I started my vacay and soon enough, school is about to start. A few days from now I’ll be entering my school as a junior, aka 3rd-year college student. Time flies fast, doesn’t it? I started this blog when I was in my junior year of high school and now I’m a college student!

Speaking of school, I have here 4 apps that I really love to use for studying and any academic-related tasks, or whenever I need to be productive. These are 4 of the best apps out there that can help you be more productive and track your progress. You can also use these apps regardless if you’re in high school or college. Another thing about these apps is they are all easy to use and navigate. Lastly, these are all free to download on IOS and Android devices.

1. Google Calendar

First on the list is Google Calendar. Of all the calendar apps to choose from, this is my favorite. I have tried several calendar apps in the past and this is the only one I continue using and will use forever!

The layout is simple, easy to use, customizable, and it has a lot of features. I like that you can notify yourself multiple times for an event or task. I also like that you share an event (or calendar/tasks) with your organization, friends, and family. Another thing that I like about this app is how convenient it is because you can use it via desktop or your mobile devices.

Note: you can also add more colors for your calendar/event by clicking the three dots when hovering over a calendar, then click add custom color.

2. Yeolpumta

This is probably one of my best discoveries last semester! It’s easy to use, very customizable, functional, and of course, very aesthetically pleasing.

The app itself looks very minimalist and there arent a lot of distractions. Aside from that, you can use this app for a wide range of options such as a habit tracker, study tracker, pomodoro, etc. I personally use this as a progress and study tracker. This also helps you to stay focused because it wont let you leave the screen unless you’re using one of the allowed apps, which you can also choose which to include. In addition, it also has tons of features like the timer and calculator option, a dictionary, and white noise feature as well as see the users who are also studying at that time.

3. Notion

Notion is one of my favorite apps and I’ve been using it since I started college. I use Notion for everything! My habit tracker, expense tracker, reading tracker, journal, class schedule, to-do list, or basically my life is in here. The screenshots above is what half of my Notion dashboard looks like.

You can find lots of cool templates online or you can just create your own. It can be overwhelming at first, but once you get the gist of it, the things that you can create are endless. You may search for Alyanna Ross on Youtube because she has a lot of Notion-related videos and you can learn so much from her.

(Alyanna Ross is one of my fave YouTubers so go check her out!)

As mentioned above, you can use Notion for various things, may it be for school, work, life, or productivity. You can add lots of widgets to further customize your setup and make it more tailored to your needs. Take advantage also of the tables and columns to enhance your Notion setup.

4. Forest

This app is one of my faves to record how long I am studying. It’s also easy to use and can be used on your mobile devices or as a Chrome extension. It’s up to you to select the time or minutes of studying and after that, you get to plant a tree. If you stop, your tree also withers.

I honestly prefer Yeolpumta nowadays because it has more features. However, I am also after the plant a real-life tree feature of Forest and so far, I have already planted 5 trees! Sadly tho, 5 is the maximum.

----------------------

That’s all for today’s blog post, loves! I also just want to say that this is not sponsored. I personally use all the apps that I have mentioned on this post. Anyway, at the end of the day, your progress depends upon your will to take action and nothing will happen if you will not act. Nonetheless, I hope that these apps can also help you to be productive as much as they helped me. Originally posted on my Wordpress blog Aestrophilia.

Stay self and healthy everyone!

HOW TO TUMBLR

Unlike other social media platforms, on tumblr you can decide what to see and what NOT to see on your dash. You are not bound to an algorithm that makes that decision for you. However, this unique feature is NOT DEFAULT any more, you need to set it up. It’s a bit of a hassle if you’re on an app, but you only have to do it once, and it’s 100% worth it.

[Y’ALL, I NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE THIS POST MORE USEFUL. I’ve stayed away from apps myself, so I can only give proper instructions for the web. If you’ve seen posts with the same instructions for iOS and Android, or if you can make such a post, and especially if you got screenshots (my goal is to make this as easy as possible for newbies), please send a link my way. Thanks!]

1. Algorithm begone

Tumblr’s “algorithm” isn’t remotely like facebook’s, but it still involves decisions you didn’t make. The option “Best stuff first” was an especially bad move that upset many artists, whose posts suddenly got buried and whose activity plummeted. Here’s how to fix this.

WEB:

click on the little person icon on the top of the screen to your right

go to Settings

go to Dashboard

scroll down to Preferences, and toggle to deselect “Best Stuff First”, “Include stuff in your orbit”, “Include ‘Based on your likes!’”, and “Include followed tag posts” [I suggest to deselect the last one because tumblr chooses which posts from your followed tags to show you, and that’s a decision you didn’t make; you can always look for tags normally]

2. Begone ads and unsolicited recommendations

Install the ad blocker add-on UBlock Origin on your Firefox. If your browser is Chrome, it is STRONGLY suggested you first switch to Firefox, for privacy but also because Chrome is out to get ad blockers, so that won’t work for long.

And/or you can install the XKit Rewritten add-on, which has a number of useful features (Quick Reblog most of all), including “Anti-Capitalism” which hides advertisement containers. This is probably redundant if you have a proper ad blocker, and also slower (X-Kit loads all these elements and then hides them, the ad blocker kills them faster), but I’m not opposed to redundancies when it comes to ads and privacy.

XKit also has a “No Recommended” feature, so you can focus only on what you follow. can You replicate this via UBlock Origin’s Block Element feature, but that’s a bit advanced for the purposes of this guide, so while I do suggest it I won’t elaborate here.

3. Unlock all content

By default, tumblr has to assume (because laws and monopolies etc) that you have the maturity of a small child, and it will therefore hide some content from you without asking you. Here’s how to fix this.

WEB:

go to Settings, as before

scroll down to “Community Labels” and select “Show” for all (current labels are Mature, Drugs and alcohol addiction, Violence, and Sexual themes)

in the same section, toggle to deselect “Hide additional potentially mature content”

ANDROID:

see this post for instructions wrapped in a rant on how needlessly complicated this process is, and see here for tumblr’s Help Center article on Community Labels; on the app it looks like this

Afterword

These were instructions for how to liberate your dashboard from external meddling by letting all content (except ads) through. The cool thing is you can also choose what to NOT let through. In your Settings you can filter tags, and you can filter content. You can choose to blur or hide Community Labels (but keep in mind that’s a brand new feature, and how it goes will depend on how the user base adopts it; it’s safe to say it doesn’t work well yet). More importantly, you can choose who to follow, who not to follow, and who to block altogether.

You can and indeed should curate your dashboard, and decide for yourself what appears there. (With the understanding that no matter what you do or anyone else does, stuff will slip through, and it’s not the end of the world. You have tools to make that happen less and less. That’s feasible. Completely and preemptively isolating yourself from stuff you don’t like is NOT feasible, on any platform. So please manage your expectations.)

7 Cool old games for Android & iOS

[mitarbeiter]

Updates

🌟 Neu

Das Popup-Fenster zum Erstellen von Einträgen auf dem Desktop befindet sich jetzt unten rechts auf der Seite statt in der Mitte des Feeds. Außerdem haben wir einige visuelle Fehler bei bestimmten Farbpaletten behoben.

Im Web können Personen, die auf Tumblr noch nicht ihr komplettes Geburtsdatum, sondern nur das Jahr eingestellt haben, nun das Jahr geringfügig anpassen.

Wenn du im Web ein kleines Ansichtsfenster verwendest (z. B. einen mobilen Browser), befindet sich der Button zum Schließen im Eintragseditor jetzt oben links und nicht mehr unten links.

Die iOS-App hat jetzt ein neues App-Symbol. Für Android-User:innen wird es auch bald verfügbar sein.

User:innen, die keinen Tags folgen oder die Tags folgen, zu denen es nicht viele Einträge gibt, sehen im Tab “Deine Tags” im Dashboard den Button “Coole Tags zum Folgen finden”.

🛠 Behobene Bugs

Ein Problem im Web wurde behoben, das verhinderte, dass ähnliche Tags angeklickt werden konnten, wenn eine Tag-Seite angezeigt wurde.

Es wurde ein visueller Fehler im Web behoben, der dazu führte, dass Informationen zu Quellen in einem Eintrag nicht korrekt ausgerichtet waren.

Einträge, die mit den mobilen Apps und dem neuen Web-Editor erstellt wurden, werden jetzt immer in ihrem richtigen Layout in Blog-Templates angezeigt, auch wenn du zuvor die Option “Neue Eintragstypen verwenden” deaktiviert hattest (die wir jetzt abgeschafft haben).

Im Web wurde der doppelte Headertext “Weil du #… folgst” entfernt.

Die Verarbeitung von Video-Uploads hat vor kurzem sehr lange gedauert. Dieses Problem wurde behoben.

Am 6. November gab es ein Problem, das zeitweise Ausfallzeiten auf allen Plattformen verursachte. Es wurde noch am selben Tag behoben.

Wir haben einige Verbesserungen vorgenommen, damit deine Geschenkeseite schneller lädt.

🚧 Baustelle

Zurzeit keine Meldungen.

Wir arbeiten an einem Jahresrückblick für dieses Jahr! Genau wie im letzten Jahr kannst du dann einige interessante Statistiken zu deinen Blogs sehen.

Useful Resources for Writers:

Online Etymology Dictionary –– like the OED (Oxford English Dictionary), except you don't need a paid account to access it. Get definitions of words with historical context! Side note, if you have membership at a university library (and even some public libraries) you may actually have OED access, check with your library.

Google's We Wear Culture –– a library of images and information about fashion around the globe and throughout history.

CRV's D&D Reading Room Worldbuilding Checklist –– Though this site is meant for GMs inventing worlds for their games, the concepts are the same and the questions can be super useful anyways!

WordHippo –– online thesaurus. find synonyms and antonyms and rhymes for words using their site!

mynoise.net –– infinite sound generators to listen to on desktop from coffee shops to water, to white noise. great for concentration when reading or writing. Get their App on iOS or Android.

Last Name Generator –– use this site to generate last names for your characters!

Google Ngrams viewer –– will the word I want to use in this period piece be anachronistic? find out the history and frequency of word usage of words in english (various versions) and a number of other widely spoken languages like spanish and french.

Onelook Reverse dictionary –– word on the tip of your tongue?? use onelook to look up a definition and find the word!

my tumblr writing ref tag –– curated list of tumblr posts about writing

@ writingwithcolor here on tumblr –– resources for writing with racial, religious and ethnic diversity.

Social Security Archives –– find out which names were common in US census records from various decades between now and the 1880s.

Polygon Map Generator –– good for GMs and fantasy writers alike, randomly generate maps of fantasy islands

Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator –– another map generator, this is one is more complex than the polygon one, and can make multiple landmasses with labels.

Cold Turkey Writer –– download this program to write without distractions. Cold turkey writer can be configured to keep you from opening anything else until you hit a time limit or a word count, and does not show you pages or formatting tools. Nifty. The app is free, but you can also get a one time paid version with more features for $9 USD.

hi, mrs o! i’ve been wanting to learn japanese and i was wondering what you would recommend for practice and learning

Hey Nonny, first off, that's awesome of you! Second, I'm really not sure I'm the best resource, given how amateur my own skills still are, but I'm happy to share a few things I've found useful at least?

First would be Tofugu's Mnemonic chart for learning hiragana, because you'll find things a lot easier if you start by learning the writing systems. There are standard charts too readily available but I enjoyed the mnemonic for helping learn it faster. From there you can move on to katakana and kanji.

For books there's the omnipresent Genki ecosystem and some people like the Nihongo So-Matome series although that one is teaching mostly to the JLPT. Japanese the Manga Way is pretty fun and engaging too.

If you like things more digital, the Japanese government runs free online Japanese classes for English speakers through Minato. These are really cool and structured if you're the sort who prefers feeling more guided, although you can go somewhat at your own pace as well. Tae Kim's Guide to Learning Japanese is pretty cool too, and it has an iOS and Android app if you find it easier to read on your phone - plus it's free as well.

There's Duolingo of course, which can be useful if it helps you keep at it and also has the benefit of being free, but you'd probably enjoy it more and have better success if you pair it with something more in-depth from above. If you're looking for a dictionary app, I like Takoboto.

I think learning a new language on your own is a matter mostly of finding a system that clicks with you, so I'd encourage you to give a few different things a chance and see if any of them stick. I hope something here is useful to get you started, and if anyone wants to chime in with suggestions on what they've found works for them I'm all ears!

Cool Emojis Say More When Words Fail You And They Convey Sentiments Too

Cool Emojis Say More When Words Fail You And They Convey Sentiments Too

Face with a medical mask. Folded hands. A temple. A Raised Fist for Black Lives Matter. Emojis are powerful. More powerful than they have ever been. Not just as inserts for conversations on instant messaging apps with friends and family. They convey sentiments. They clarify meanings. They make clear emotions that may otherwise be lost in words. Emojis are an integral part of pretty much most…

I. New Characters

5-Star Character "Lonesome Transcendence" Shenhe (Cryo)

◇ Vision: Cryo

◇ Weapon: Polearm

◇ An adepti disciple with a most unusual air about her. Having spent much time cultivating in isolation in Liyue's mountains, she has become every bit as cool and distant as the adepti themselves.

◆ Shenhe's Elemental Skill, "Spring Spirit Summoning," can produce different effects based on how it is used: when pressed, she will rush forward and deal Cryo DMG, whereas when held, she will deal AoE Cryo DMG in front of her. These two different usage methods will provide teammates with Icy Quill effects that will be triggered for a different number of times based on the usage method. Icy Quill increases Cryo DMG dealt by characters' Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks, Elemental Skills, and Elemental Bursts based on Shenhe's own ATK.

Her Elemental Burst, "Divine Maiden's Deliverance," deals sustained AoE Cryo DMG to opponents in the field, and also decreases the Cryo RES and Physical RES of opponents in the field.

4-Star Character "Stage Lucida" Yun Jin (Geo)

◇ Vision: Geo

◇ Weapon: Polearm

◇ A renowned Liyue opera singer who is skilled in both playwriting and singing. Her style is one-of-a-kind, exquisite and delicate, much like the person herself.

◆ When Yun Jin uses her Elemental Skill, "Opening Flourish," she charges upward, forming a shield. After the skill button is released, when its duration ends, or when the shield breaks, it will deal Geo DMG. DMG dealt is based on Yun Jin's DEF, and Shield DMG Absorption is based on Yun Jin's Max HP.

Her Elemental Burst "Cliffbreaker's Banner," deals a one-time AoE Geo DMG to nearby opponents and grants all nearby party members a "Flying Cloud Flag Formation" which will increase DMG dealt by Normal Attacks. The increase will be based on Yun Jin's own DEF. Flying Cloud Flag Formation will disappear when the number of times is used up or at the end of the duration.

◆ During the event wish "The Transcendent One Returns," the event-exclusive 5-star character "Lonesome Transcendence" Shenhe (Cryo) and 4-star character "Stage Lucida" Yun Jin (Geo) will get a huge drop-rate boost!

This effect will increase the ATK of the character equipping it by a certain amount per second, stacking up to 6 times. When the character equipped with this weapon is not on the field, Consummation's ATK increase is doubled.

◆ During the event wish "Epitome Invocation," the event-exclusive 5-star weapon Calamity Queller (Polearm) will receive a huge drop-rate boost!

V. New Outfits

Keqing - "Opulent Splendor"

◇ Keqing's formal wear. Amidst the beautiful dawn of the Lantern Rite, the threads weaved by days of hard work intertwine into a light yet magnificent appearance.

15. Spiral Abyss

Updated the monster lineup on Floors 11 – 12 of the Spiral Abyss.

Floor 11 Ley Line Disorders changed to:

• All party members' Normal Attack DMG increased by 50%.

Floor 12 Ley Line Disorders changed to:

• Certain opponents in this challenge possess the Honed Spirit effect, which grants them 10% Physical and All Elemental RES. When opponents with Honed Spirit take hits from attacks that are considered Normal Attack DMG, they will lose 3% Physical and All Elemental RES. A maximum of 30% of each may be lost this way. The RES lost this way will be reset every 20s.

Starting from the first time that the Lunar Phase refreshes after updating to Version 2.4, the three Lunar Phases will be as follows：

Phase I:

Blade-Flourish Moon

When the active character's Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks hit opponents multiple times within 2s, that character's Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG is increased by 5% for 8s. Max 15 stacks. This effect can be triggered once every 0.1s and will be cleared if the character goes down or leaves the field.

Phase II:

Blooming Moon

When the active character hits opponents with attacks that are considered Normal Attack DMG, there is a 50% chance of unleashing a shockwave at the hit opponent's position, dealing AoE True DMG. One shockwave can be released in this way every 0.3s.

Phase III:

Awakening Moon

When the active character's Normal, Charged, or Plunging Attacks hit opponents multiple times within 2s, the character gains a stack of Emergence for 8s. This effect can be triggered once every 0.1s. Emergence will be cleared when the character goes down or leaves the field. When the character gains 15 Emergence stacks, the stacks will be cleared and a shockwave will be unleashed that deals True DMG to nearby opponents. After a shockwave is unleashed in this way, all party members will deal 25% increased DMG for 10s.

Other Adjustments:

(a). Adjusts the height of the central stage disc in all levels on Floors 9 – 12 of the Spiral Abyss.

(b). You can view enemy details on the Party Setup page while continuing your way through the Spiral Abyss.

(c). When challenging the Spiral Abyss, if there is an Abyssal Star that has not been obtained, the hint text on the left will be grayed out.

Hi! I hope I can send this here. If not, feel free to delete this ask. I recently found out that there will be a social app for A-Spec people very soon! It's called A-Café and it's for A-Spec people looking for all kinds of relationships (romantic, QPR, platonic, groups of people, anything really). They have a tumblr, but more information is on their reddit. They also have a discord server where the mods can give updates, others can suggest ideas or give feedback, or people can just hang out and talk. I think right now they aim to have the first version of the app available for iOS and Android by the end of the year (possibly later this month at the earliest). It looks really cool and I suggest those who would like something like that to check it out!

Oh that sounds really cool. Does anyone have a link to their tumblr or reddit? (I tried googling but google doesn't really take symbols into account in searches).

Thanks for sharing, Anon. Definitely something to keep an eye out for.

All the best!
