Managing tasks at the kind of granular level these apps and methodologies require or advocate is just not useful to me.

That leaves my blog, which I feel could benefit from a more professional management approach - but then if I did that, I’m more likely to adopt the practices of other publications and use an Editorial calendar in something as simple as a spreadsheet - or a corkboard on my wall. My interaction with beta readers, my editor and designer, are all managed via email. If I have a deadline, it’s self-imposed and seldom enforced. Sure, I tag individual scenes with statuses like Todo, Drafting, First Draft but that’s within Scrivener itself, and I see no need to externalise my list into another app. When I write a book, I have a particular methodology - I deal with outlines, scenes and chapters, not scheduled tasks. At home, our principle organisation tool is our shared calendars - not ideal perhaps but a calendar event is, in essence, a time-bound task with a due date already built in. My team’s overarching project management methodology is Agile and the management thereof is run by Jira.Īs for my personal and creative life, I’m generally reactive rather than proactive. In my professional life, my productivity tools are dictated by my company’s IT department, and that means I’m forced to use Microsoft Outlook. No matter what system I’ve tried, all felt like adding a layer of administrative overhead I don’t need. The thing is, I’ve never been convinced of their value - or indeed task management in general. Here’s a review of 9 of them just for iOS - searching the App Store, reveal many more. Yet, like the ubiquitous ‘markdown aware text editor’ - they are a dime a dozen. Task management apps promise to help manage the insanity of the modern world. We increasingly take our work home, and we’ve become slaves to our devices…the very objects that promised to revolutionise productivity and communication. We drown in emails, instant messages, projects, business as usual - the endless noise of human beings in hamster wheels. We live in a hyper-competitive time where business never sleeps. I understand the interest, and the need, really I do. If you just want the review, skip to the next section.įor some people, task management is a religion - or cult - which has grown up around the promises of personal productivity methodologies advocated by GTD, Inbox Zero and many more.
I need to preface this review with a somewhat opinionated rant about task management.

While I use and love iOS, the Mac is the centre of my productivity, though I do write on my iPad a lot and my iPhone is always in my pocket.
I should note, this is the first review I’ve done of a purely iOS app. I was to a point he was right about my interest in productivity apps that use plain-text but hitherto I’ve had little cause to use a task manager, though I’ve dabbled with them in the past. He reasoned that given my interest in plain-text productivity I might be interested. A few days ago, Matthew Kennard, the developer of iOS app Beorg reached out and asked if I wanted to take it for a spin.
