The best way to stay on track when you have a lot on your plate is by using an agenda, but in our modern day and age it can sometimes be easier to do things electronically. You already type school assignment on the computer and use the Internet to stay in touch with friends, so why not use an app to stay organized?

Introducing Bloom: the new app from Life Game that works like your own portable assistant. Mindbloom goes beyond being just an ordinary planner. It helps you prioritize your tasks after you’ve completed a personalized profile that lets Bloom know what’s important to you.

Next, customize the ringtones and pictures to things that will keep you motivated, like songs by your favourite artists or photos of people you look up to. Bloom will even send you inspirational notes so that you don’t get sidetracked.  As you record completed tasks, you get points on the app which makes a virtual tree grown, showing you a visual representation of the things you’ve accomplished.

You can get Bloom for free at the App store. If you don’t have a phone that supports apps, you can still use Bloom online at www.mindbloomcom. Mindbloom is the same thing as Bloom, just without the inspirational texts. If staying organized is one of your goals for back-to-school, be sure to check out Bloom; it's the perfect organizational tool!
