New year, new you, abi? But before you start shouting “God when?!” every time someone posts their progress online, how about equipping yourself with the tools to make 2025 your glow-up year?
Forget those “I’ll do it later” vibes; these apps will make sure you’re productive, focused, and one step ahead of your inner procrastinator.
And the best part? Most of them are free—because I know January is for dry pockets.
Google Calendar
You’ve been saying, “I’ll plan better this year” for how long now? It’s time to let Google Calendar rescue you from double-booking and last-minute panic.
This app will help you schedule your life like the PA you can’t afford to hire yet. Just don’t forget to actually check it.
Trello
If your brain is like a Nigerian market—noisy and chaotic—Trello will help you organize your to-do list into neat little kanban boards.
From work projects to wedding aso-ebi payments, you can track everything without stressing. And it’s so visual that even your inner chaos will appreciate it.
Canva
Trying to spice up your side hustle or slay your social media content?
Canva is the app that’ll make your designs look so good, people will think you hired a professional graphic designer. Even if you’re just making memes, let them look premium, biko.
Audible
You said you’d read more books this year, but let’s be real: who has time to flip pages when Lagos traffic is showing you shege?
Enter Audible, the audiobook app. Now you can “read” while driving, doing chores, or pretending to work at the office.
Habitica
This app makes crushing your goals feel like a video game. Each habit you complete earns you points to level up your character. Miss a task, and your avatar takes damage. It’s productivity meets playtime—perfect for all you lowkey PS5 addicts out there.
Fusion
I agree that social media is really toxic and addictive. Take a break from it and join Fusion for that fine blend of positivity and fun.
Create great content, interact with people, crush goals together, get rewarded for it (yes, cash rewards) and transact seamlessly.
Duolingo
Trying to finally learn French—or at least understand what those Indian subtitles mean in Bollywood movies?
Duolingo makes language learning fun, with daily streaks and friendly reminders that you’ve been slacking. Don’t let that owl judge you o!
Microsoft To Do
When sticky notes and writing reminders on your palm just aren’t cutting it anymore, Microsoft To Do steps in.
It’s simple, straightforward, and perfect for reminding you to refill your cylinder before your gas runs out again.
These apps won’t do the work for you, but they’ll make your life easier while you hustle your way to the top. Download them, use them, and maybe—just maybe—2025 will be the year you don’t give up on your goals by February.
And remember, crushing your goals isn’t just about working hard—it’s about working smart. Download these apps, and make mama proud!
You can thank me on Fusion…
