Discover the Ultimate Productivity App: Structured for 2024
Written on
Chapter 1: The Quest for Productivity Tools
Over the past month, I've faced challenges in finding the ideal app to help me accomplish my tasks effectively. On average, I’ve spent about half an hour each day browsing the app store, searching for productivity apps that can truly enhance my efficiency.
While I’ve been using Todoist for task organization, its lack of motivational features often diminishes my enthusiasm for completing tasks. I even explored TickTick, which offers a focus feature and calendar view, but I found its design and user interface to be quite unappealing. As someone who values both functionality and aesthetics in an app, I finally discovered a solution that meets my needs.
Section 1.1: Finding the Right Focus
Before I introduce the app I found, I’m sure many of you have experimented with various focus apps. Some may have been beneficial, while others were not. Personally, I tried numerous focus applications, even opting for paid versions to access premium features. However, I discovered that most of these apps weren't effective for me. I would simply start a focus session and end up distracted, watching YouTube videos instead.
After much searching, I stumbled upon Structured.
Chapter 2: What is Structured?
Structured is an innovative app that allows you to plan your day through tasks and time management. You can create tasks with specific start and end times, customize their colors, and even set recurring tasks. Plus, it supports subtasks, which is quite impressive!
Section 2.1: Pricing Overview
Let’s discuss the pricing for Structured. The app is free to use, but, as is common, some features require a small fee. Unlike many apps that follow a subscription model, Structured offers a one-time purchase option for just $5. I paid approximately £4.49 for lifetime access in the UK.
The developer has committed to providing updates for the app, ensuring users receive ongoing improvements. Additionally, if someone cannot afford the app but genuinely needs it, they can reach out for free access—a commendable approach compared to many apps that don't offer continued updates after a lifetime purchase.
Section 2.2: Features and Improvements
While the app is fantastic, I would suggest a few enhancements:
- Task Icons: It would be great to have the option to use personal emojis instead of the default icons available in the app. This would enhance personalization.
- Time Slot Adjustments: Sometimes life happens—like waking up late and needing to adjust tasks. A feature allowing users to slide and adjust time slots would be beneficial, similar to what the Sorted app offers.
Finally, what draws me to this app is its ability to instill a sense of responsibility. Unlike focus apps that only time tasks, Structured helps me stay accountable, reminding me that I need to complete tasks within my allocated time.
In conclusion, I highly recommend checking out Structured; it may just be the solution you need for enhanced productivity, as it has been for me.
