As we discuss what apps are useful for graduate students, there are things that you should consider:
- Look at your schedule and consider how many classes you have on a given day and what type of classes are spanned over the week. Doing this will help you figure out what apps will help you stay focused.
- Figuring out your workload can allow you to focus on what tasks are most important to do.
