5 uvurderlige gratis produktivitet apps for college

For noen år siden skrev jeg om nyttige apps for videregående skole — men nå college er her, og det bringer et helt nytt sett av krav. Siden Jeg kom på Harvard, Jeg har hatt å gjøre mer, og mine apps har måttet gjøre mer for.

With that in mind, here are the five apps that I’ve relied on most at Harvard and that I recommend to anyone in college or anywhere else in life. They’re ranked in order of usefulness.

Lær Computer Science med Khan Academy

Glem minnepinner med Dropbox

I’m sure this happens to a lot of people: you have an important file on your flash drive and you need to hand it in, print it out, or take it somewhere else. Only problem? You lose your flash drive. It’s happened to me far too many times.

So that’s why I decided to eschew flash drives and emailing stuff to myself and use the power of the internet.

I found Dropbox, which lets me access my files from anywhere as long as I have an internet connection. I don’t even need a flash drive any more; I can just store everything I need on my Dropbox account.
