TODOIST PROJECT MANAGEMENT 2016 WINDOWS
It is also on almost every platform including having a web interface and a Windows mobile (yup, Windows mobile) interface. You can use it as a very simple set of different lists OR you can dive deep and add custom perspectives, priorities, recurring tasks, hierarchical projects, and so on. Todoist is very clever as it is adaptable. I am a big Todoist fan, So bear that in mind as this review will be biased. If you have or use non Apple devices, these apps are for you. It’s not completely true, but it might as well be. Some which are on every platform (pretty much) and those which are only on Apple devices. This may seem like a strange title for a section, but basically, there are two broad groups of task management apps.
Not limited to text (great for visual thinkers). Of course, you can just use any old slip of paper for this system. Flashcards with a paperclip (or the Hipster PDA). Best of all, I can make a road-map for the day that fits all on one page with the information I want there.Ī couple of suggested tools for paper include: It helped me really take in the time specific commitments I have coming up and the projects I wanted to do. For some reason I found that the process of detailing my day the night before on a piece of paper was really useful. If those don’t matter for you, then paper will see you right.įunnily enough, this year I started using paper a lot more to stay organized myself. Of course, sometimes freedom is a barrier for some people and you miss out on some of the great digital features like permanency, syncing, reminders based on time, location and so on. That’s one of the great advantages of paper, you can switch system, cut parts out, grab a new book, and draw all over it. TODOIST PROJECT MANAGEMENT 2016 PLUS
The original GTD system was based around paper and there are plenty of other markup systems to help you organize your thoughts and ideas such as the Bullet Journal and the Dash Plus system. However, aspects such as user interface, design, features and so on will be viewed in light of these criteria, after all it doesn’t matter if your todo app can sing and dance if that doesn’t actually help you get through your tasks.įor some people, paper is more than good enough for them to get and stay organized.
Prompting (tools such as notifications to encourage you to do actions at the right time). Monitoring your productivity (how many tasks have you completed over a period of time).
Review (reflecting on your tasks, eliminating unnecessary ones, adding extra tasks etc)Īnd a couple of extra aspects which are also important for a good task management system such as:. Processing (getting your ideas to the right place). Capture (recording your ideas quickly and easily). As such, I am using the core components of the GTD system for our criteria. Let’s set some ground rules before we jump into the mix, we need to have some criteria for evaluating these tools so that we can pick the better tools from the mediocre tools. With that in mind, this is going to be the layout for the rest of this review: However, I have tried a couple of new options since last year’s review and thanks to some recommendations from friends, I have added some new options. I don’t have the time to try every app out there (there are so many). I don’t have unlimited funds (some are VERY pricey). Unfortunately I have not been able to personally try every single option due to two factors: So last year (and this year) I tried a whole load of different task management tools to see the strengths and weaknesses of a wide variety of different todo applications so I could recommend some good choices to you. However, the bad news is that you may end up endlessly switching between different todo apps looking for the right one for you, or wondering if there is a better option out there for you. This is great because it means there are a variety of tools which you can use and will suit your own habits, needs and productivity types. In many ways they are the “hello world” post of app development, I’ve heard more than one story of an app developer wanting to make an app, needing a tool to help them manage the project, trying a whole host of different tools and then deciding to make their own tool to (finally) solve their own itch and problem. Managing our tasks on a day to day basis as well as on a longer term basis is a really struggle for most of us, so it’s no surprise there are so many different task management and todo lists applications and tools out there. Most of us are juggling some day job commitment, church ministry, maybe a side hustle, our own spiritual growth and not to forget family matters.
