I tend to spend most of Dead Week watching reruns of “30 Rock” and glaring at my chemistry textbook — and I know I’m not the only one. There are better ways to use this time, but it can be hard to force yourself to study. Here are some tools that can help:

Self Control: Download this to your MacBook and watch as your productivity skyrockets. Simply input a list of the sites you use to procrastinate (reddit, Facebook, etc.) and set a time limit. Until that time runs out, you won’t be able to access any of those sites, even if you restart your computer. It’s perfect for long periods of studying but can become frustrating when you need a break.

iStudiez Pro: This one is a bit pricy: $9.99 for Macs and $2.99 for smartphones. For students who can use some help planning their time, it might be a worthwhile investment. The app syncs your calendar and assignment list between your phone and computer, provides notifications for upcoming assignments and tests and tracks your grades.

StudyBlue: Sometimes the best way to study for a test is to memorize a stack of flashcards. However, they can be tedious to make and frustrating to organize. StudyBlue allows users to create flashcards online and then sync them to their smartphones. This is a perfect way to memorize some historical facts or learn Portuguese while eating lunch. It even allows users to download the flashcard sets created by other people, so you can save time.

Virt U — The Virtual University: It can be difficult to learn challenging material from only one professor. This app compiles lectures and notes from courses offered at universities around the country, such as Stanford and MIT. It’s a free way to get multiple perspectives from experts on your course material.

Google Play Books: Your English final is in two days, and you still haven’t read “Walden.” In fact, you haven’t even purchased it. Before turning to SparkNotes, check this out. It has millions of books available for free download.

Wi-Fi Finder: Studying on campus can get wearisome, but the free Wi-Fi is too convenient to pass up. But what do you do when you leave campus? This app displays nearby places with public Wi-Fi to help you find the perfect café to help you ace that anatomy final.
