Be it your room, working desk, or even a car – everything looks good when organized.
Imagine coming to your house after a tiring day only to realize that even your bedroom does not seem like a good place to take a rest at the moment.
Similarly, if you are working online, you may have felt a need to bring control over your schedules as everything may look messed up.
Countless open tabs, a bunch of unidentifiable folders, hardcore distractions – everything starts to fall apart.
This is where organizing apps come into the picture.
They keep your virtual life and work environment organized by creating better routines, time blocks, online shelves, etc; with the help of cutting-edge technology and smart algorithms.
I have listed the 12 best organizing tools to make your life a tad bit more productive and organized.
1. Notion

With Notion, you can organize all your notes, articles, media files, and other attachments, all in one place by creating a personal cool-looking website.
You can treat Notion as a combination of a productivity and project management tool.
Whether you are a student, an online entrepreneur, or a design person, you can use Notion to organize your thoughts into a well-printed web, with the help of their pre-built templates for all.

The features provided by Notion do not end, at least anytime sooner. There is a lot to explore.

Notion has a forever-free plan, which is pretty much adequate if you are working solo.
If you wish to get some additional features such as unlimited guests and file downloads, then there are two premium plans for you:
- Personal Pro ($4/month)
- Team ($8/month)
2. Sunsama

Sunsama is your daily task manager and calendar app.
It’s similar to Google Calendar, but it’s much cleaner and easier to use.

But that’s not all.
Motion syncs with your existing calendar and to-do apps to centralize everything in one slick interface.
