Over the weekend, I was in a chat with a friend of mine who still remembers the days before the internet, laptops, and smartphones. By profession, I and my friend both are in the digital marketing field.
It’s easy to forget that these things that we now take for granted to do businesses only came into use in the last few decades.
As I originally come from a commerce background, and I love to make the most of technology for buying/selling online, I asked my friend: "What did you use to manage your tasks?"
He waited for a moment and then said: "In those days, it was all on paper. I remember having a pencil and notepad that I used to jot down daily and weekly to-dos. When I completed a task, I simply put a line through it."
"How about nowadays?" I said.
"Well, while pen and paper were okay, the to-do list apps you can get now for your computer and smartphone do so much more. I use Trello, which helps me not only manage my tasks in a visual way but provides the all-important reminders that keep me on track, for managing digital marketing campaigns" he responded.
My friend was true. The latest digital task management apps are smarter than ever before, and make the traditional project management to-do list look ancient!
Depending on which app you choose, you can expect advanced features such as:
- AI-powered scheduling assistance
- Calendar views
- Cloud-based storage
- Collaboration with team and colleagues
- Drag-and-drop interfaces
- Gamification
- Time tracking
As an amateur blogger, aside from pro digital marketer, all my work is scheduled using the premium task management tool Asana. This tool saves me valuable time and ensures that none of my tasks are lost or forgotten.
If you’re not already using a to-do list app, then I very much recommend that you choose one and try at least the trial offer. After that, I’m sure that you’ll certainly want to continue using the app.
So, which app to choose?
