Supporting Tools

Below are apps and websites that will help you become and stay organised in your study and life in general. When it comes to note taking and calendar apps, I'd always advise you to first look at the tools that are already included in your Saint Eunan's GSuite account as you can access them with a single sign on. Most tools below are free or have free versions so they are all worth exploring.

Pomodoro Timer

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.

There are countless free tools to help you implement/manage the Pomodoro technique - one such tool is the web timer https://pomofocus.io
