Asana Comes to Android

Yesterday Asana arrived for Android, bringing a top-notch task management solution to a market that could really use another entry in the category: Here’s what you can do with the Android version: Add and assign new tasks and edit existing tasks on the go. Add or change due dates, notes, tags, followers, recurring schedules and […]

Why I Switched To Todoist

In recent weeks I’ve made a shift in my Productivity Path. While I still love what The Omni Group is doing with OmniFocus, I am using another application for my task management these days. Actually, I’m using two. For the past six weeks, I’ve been using Asana for my larger team-oriented tasks and projects and

Review: Checkmark 2 For iOS

Checkmark arrived on the scene in 2012 with a lot of fanfare, and rightly so. It took location awareness and coupled it with task management in a way that set it apart from the rest of the pack. If the app Due is considered to be “Reminders on steroids” then I’d say that Checkmark was

Step Away From The App

When people ask me “What app should I use to help me be more productive?” I have a simple answer. “I don’t know.” Everyone’s work style is different. Everyone’s proficiency with apps is different.

My iPhone Screens, Explained

I recently posted a photo of my iPhone 4S home screen on Facebook and Twitter, and people started asking about why certain apps had a home there.

I write for a lot of different sites and I write for a lot of different projects (books, etc.). Keeping track of what should go where can be a real challenge in a writing app itself (I use Byword for articles and Scrivener for larger writing projects) because you can really only store things in

Focus On The App Within

There are a ton of task management apps out there. I’d go as far as to say there are too many for the person who wants to use one because they wind up spending a ton of time exploring their options instead of really getting familiar with one and sticking with it. I’ve used many of these apps, and I still do experiment with them because that’s part of the work that I do.

But it’s not all of the work that I do.

Getting Into Drafts and Launch Center Pro

I’ve been using Launch Center Pro and Drafts on my iPhone for as long as they’ve been available. These apps make using my iPhone more efficient and, when set up properly, effective. I’ve not gone too deep into either app in terms of using URL callbacks and the like and I believe that those who’ve

What to Look for in Your First Task Management App

There are so many task management applications you could add to your workflow in order to get a better handle on what you need, and want, to get done. In my experience, people that get into the task management space for the first time tend to dive in rather than test the waters first. That’s
