Top 10 Productivity Apps

Below we will look at the most popular apps to increase Android Productivity.

1. Pomodroido

You must have heard about the Promodoro technique. For those of you who haven’t, let me explain.

It is a time management technique for Android Productivity that became very popular in the 1980s. According to this method, one divides his work into 25-minute slots that are separated by short breaks of 5 minutes. This helps you to focus better, and keep aside procrastination. It has been proven that we can be more productive if we take short breaks between periods of work. This refreshes our minds and gears us to take on fresh challenges.

So, Promodroido is your Promodoro Timer designed for Android Productivity. It tells you when it’s time for a break and when is the time to get back to work.

  • You can customize the time slots for work and break depending upon the type of work you take up.
