Worth Every Cent

The Productive app is one of those that youre going to find is truly useful. The interface design is clean, simple and easy to use. Ive personally tried to use Google Calendar and the iPhone calendar to improve my productivity and just found them clunky and more prohibitive than anything else.

The primary reason is a calendar is right down to the date and time which is very limiting. Productive is about getting your habits in and making sure they happen at some point and morning, afternoon and evening is as defined as it gets. So its more of a simple approach rather than accounting for every minute of the day which becomes cumbersome and interferes with productivity in my opinion.

Again its not a to-do or a scheduler in the traditional sense. Instead, you set up habits, prioritize them and swipe them away when youre done. There are built in habits but habits are also customizable which gives real power to the user.

The other great feature is being able to visualize data and track your habits. Calendars and schedulers just fall way short in this area. Being able to track data and see progress really provides the empowerment element needed in a productivity tool.

I also love being able to add notes to each habit. I follow a system where I note what it will cost me for not following through and what Ill gain if I do. Being able to see that and have it linked to my habits is a tremendous help.

If you have found calendars and schedulers are too clunky, messy and hard to visualize your data then this is the app for you.
