Whether it is waking up a few minutes later for school or procrastinating homework till the last minute, many of us start to get more relaxed with our time management as the weeks start to pass by. However, it is important to maintain your focus, and these are a few phone apps that can help you out.
Alarmy
If you tend to continuously hit the snooze button, this may be a good solution for you. Unlike other alarms, Alarmy won’t turn off at the click of a button. Instead, you are given a mission of your choice that will confirm you are awake: shaking your phone, answering a math problem or taking a photo of your sink, for example. Alarmy is a great app for waking up on time to study early in the morning or simply getting up in time for school.
