Alabama State Standard #11 for Teen Discoveries:

App #1: Todoist

What it does: Todoist is top-notch to-do list software that lets you geek out on organizing, tracking, and analyzing all the tasks in your life. It offers extremely intuitive apps for practically every platform, lets you collaborate with others, doesn't require an internet connection, and even supports advanced features like natural language input. The free version is reasonably capable, too, though most people are better off paying for the feature-packed Pro tier. Given its exceptional capabilities and ease of use, Todoist earns our Editors' Choice award for personal task management and an exemplary five-star rating.

My Favorite App: Structured

I think Structured is the best app for time management. It shows your whole day in blocks, which makes it easy to see what students are supposed to be doing and when. It helps keep them on track, especially with homework and chores. I like how clean and simple it looks, and it reminds them when it’s time to move to the next task. It’s great for people who like to plan out their whole day.
