I bought Things awhile back, and while it’s a decent little app, it’s missing a ton of features offered by other apps. If I have to enter tasks manually, I’m going to use something that has more of what I’m looking for. Planner has time stamped comments, but no integration with Outlook. The only thing To Do has going for it is that it’s easy to add a task from Outlook. A lot of my tasks stretch out over days or weeks or even months, so having a chronological log of activities is important. Wunderlist was a decent app until Microsoft bought it and stripped away one of the features I really need at work-time stamped notes/comments. The Mac version of One Note doesn’t handle task management at all. One Note 2016 worked alright with Outlook tasks, but it wasn’t perfect, and only functioned on a Windows PC. When the company I work for went all-in with Microsoft O365, we discontinued the Evernote Business account and I had to move everything to One Note. For work, I just used Evernote reminders, and I had a solid workflow. But it worked well with Evernote, and I lived in Evernote back then. It synced up with Evernote reminders, or it let me attach Evernote notes to tasks… I can’t remember exactly. Remember the Milk was my first non-OS native personal task manager. I used it to manage all my work tasks last year, and it has a lot of promise. Getting tasks into Notion takes a few extra steps as well. If I’m on a plane, or out in the sticks with no service, I want to be able to work access all of my tasks. I’m a big Notion fan, but the lack of true offline access is a hard stop for me. Last year, I bounced around a bit between a few apps. I’m a fan of efficiency, so I tend to take a close look at productivity apps to see if they’re actually helping me be more productive, or if they’re getting in the way. I’m neck deep in the Apple ecosystem, so I’d love to be able to use the native Reminders app, but let’s face it-it still pales in comparison to almost all other options.Įvery year between Christmas and New Years I look back at the past year to see if there’s anything I should be doing differently. I’ve cycled through so many task management apps at this point, I don’t think I could even list them all. Android and iOS opened up more mobile task management options, and today you can throw a rock in any direction and hit a task management app.
