My Tomatoes should be every procrastinators holy grail. The site uses what is called the Pomodoro Technique by Francesco Cirillo to get you to better manage your time and complete tasks. It guides you on breaking up projects into smaller tasks to be completed in 25 minutes. Once tasks are completed you take a break (usually about 5 minutes), before beginning the next task in the sequence. It's great for staying focused, and helps you to prioritize on days when you may feel overwhelmed with all that needs to be done.

The Harvard Business Review is one of the most popular professionl resources around. As college students we are often not taught how to develop critical skills like decision making, or how to be an effective leader. This is where Harvard Business Review comes in, it provides real world advice on everything from public speaking to navigating the trials and tribulations of the workplace. You get 15 free articles every month, and your own library to keep articles organized for easier reference. If you prefer, you have the option of subscribing to the monthly magazine, or purchasing ebooks with detailed studies on a wide range of topics. It's an amazing resource for those making the transition from college to job, and is especially useful for business majors.
