We will learn how to use mobile apps such as My Possible Self, ToDon’t, and White Noise Lite for mental health management Microsoft Outlook, and for better study, for example, MindMeister and Quizlet. Working with documents and adjusting for better accessibility to document management apps are also important, apps of this type will use during the training as well, for example, Microsoft Office Lens, Microsoft 365. For time management we will learn about Trello, Forest, 30/30, and Remember the Milk. For mental health management, we will learn, how to use mobile apps such as My Possible Self, ToDon’t, and White Noise Lite.
