With our lives becoming ever busier, we never seem to have enough time to do the things we really want to do. The key to getting stuff done efficiently is building habits and Habitica is an app that can help you build those habits. Habitica takes the novel approach of making building habits into a game. Whenever you perform something, you get rewarded for it in the application. In time, this builds habits as you level up and you suddenly find yourself being much more productive in the office and in daily life.

6. Glitch Art Studio
Glitch art is a micro-genre that has been making waves in the underground recently. Glitch Art Studio allows you to make freaky creations from photos and videos and share them with your friends. In fact, the included presets are so crazy that they might just appeal to the hardcore glitch artists. Even if you don’t like the presets that are included, you can create some wild ones of your own just by modifying a whole set of sliders and parameters.

7. Trello
Though it has been around for a while, Trello is one of those apps that keeps getting better and more useful. It’s still going to be as relevant in 2020 as it is in 2019. If you have lots to do around the office and you manage a team, make sure that everyone is on the same page with Trello. It allows everyone to work together really easily using boards and lists that are updated in real time.
