Let this
blog find you managing lots of activities around you very effectively!
For a long
time, I have been immersed in all kinds of activities that need to be done now
or later. The rate at which these tasks gets generated is quite high. The tasks
can get generated in a meeting, or anywhere actually. It is just a thought or a
decision.
Now these
activities many times need to be done by someone else, working with us or
working for us. How do we track, inform and ensure we all are a the same page?
In this
search someone recommended wunderlist app (www.wunderlist.com).
You may want to try this on your android phone/PC/Mac/i-phone/i-pad.
It is one
of the best APP I have found so far which seamlessly integrates between various
devices. It has a desktop version as well.
Here are
some effective uses I found:
1. I think of a task that a colleague needs to do, I remember it at 11 pm.
Or I may be in a different time zone. What are my choices?.
- Disturb that person with Sms or call?
- Note in my own task list and remember to communicate it later?
- Send an Email?
- What if I forget? Even if I send a mail, I need to later collate all such tasks and ensure that all are addressed. This app handles it beautifully.
Best part is when my colleague opens the app on computer or mobile, she
will see all the tasks assigned to her. When she completes any of them or adds
a remark, I would be able to see that immediately.
2. I think of this song i want to download, this book to read, this movie
to see... I can have these lists and update them on my mobile, ticking off what
got done.
There are
many other worthwhile features. What I still wonder is to what is their
business model? The app is free and I do not see any advertisements. There are
already 3.5 million users using this across the world.
Wishing you an interesting user-experience!
Warm
regards,
Rohan
