When studying at school, I underestimated the power of organization and productivity. I neglected to use the second brain technique which revolves around using digital tools and platforms to create a centralized hub for collecting and organizing information, resulting in a chaotic and unproductive school life.

My scattered notes, missed deadlines, and inefficient time management haunted me with regret. It is only now that I am realizing the significance of apps. I tested over 35 apps so that you do not have to.
