Any.do makes task-management simple. You list tasks, prioritize, and set push reminders. This free app encourages you to review the list each morning and set a loose plan. It “nudges you throughout the day,” but with upbeat messages such as “Go make it happen.” (Android or iOS)
Carrot To-Do offers a “tough love” approach: Get lazy and you’ll be scolded. More often, its tone is winningly sarcastic, and you accumulate rewards for being productive, like simple games or episodes of an ongoing story. ($2, iOS)
