I am a productivity NUT! I am commissioned for work in the kingdom of God and I am constantly looking for ways to be more effective.
I use Producteev as it allows me to keep tasks an projects in order on my iPhone, work Mac and home PC.
What do you use to stay on task?
I’ll have to give that a shot! Right now, my work, home, and phone are all synched, so all of my appointments are available no matter what device I use.
Via calendars?
Yes?
Cool, but do you have a master task list or project list you use at all?
That is what I was thinking about. I have one major task list on my home pc, broken down into manageable pieces that are added to my calendar. I am very task oriented, so I find that has worked thusfar.
I shoehorn my task lists into Evernote – I’m going to give this a shot, as it looks much better for tasks.
Yeah, the only thing this really lacks is sync with any kind of real calendar, such as google or iCalendar. However it allows more of a project based task system which is nice
I use “things” on my iphone for my to do list and projects. I can schedule “things” at a later date, check off tasks within a large project and it logs tasks completed as well as moves items within the categories of today, next, scheduled, and someday.
Does “Things” sync with anything? like a desktop or Mac app?
mac/ipad unfortunately not windows based (that is what I have at work)
“Things” is pretty pricey for not being multi-platform. At $10, producteev seems to do everything that does and be cross platform, including browser plugins too. What nothing has done for me yet, is work in an email interface. As we’ve had this discussion, I realized I get almost all of my tasks via email. It would be awesome to have a cross-platform app that could integrate certain emails into a timeline. Almost like Microsoft project and a task list with a timeline option. Also, this app needs to sync with either iCal or Google Cal, Microsoft Cal, all of the above, etc. The real downside to producteev is that it relies on its own internal calendar, which, I know I never use, or ever would use.
I’m giving Behance’s action method a try. I’ll let you know what I think. http://www.actionmethod.com
