In those cases, this anti-procrastination app might be just what you need. The app works this way: Every time you have work to do, just set the app’s timer and it will automatically plant a virtual tree, which will grow in the following time; if you exit the app before the timer runs out, the tree will be killed. On the other hand, if you comply with the time that you established, you’ll get to build your own virtual forest. The app also rewards you with virtual coins that can later be exchanged for a chance of planting a real-life tree. Forest is available for Android and Apple devices.
