Helpful resources and apps

At times, motivating yourself can be a challenge (whether it is to work or do exercise!). An external source of inspiration can really help, so make good use of some of these apps - they can really make your life and work easier (such as dealing with all those tabs you have open on your internet browser!). 

Find the apps listed below by searching and downloading them to your phone/mobile device via Google Play (for Android) or the App Store (for iOS).
