\"Wunderlist\"<\/p>\n

As my move to a Windows 7 work computer gets closer, I’m looking to tighten up my task management. \u00a0I think there may be software implemented by the office that all eight of us will use, but I can’t necessarily count on or wait for that.<\/p>\n

Some time ago I switched from the gorgeous native Mac app ‘Things<\/a>‘ to the equally lovely web-app Flow<\/a>. \u00a0Flow is basically Things in the cloud. \u00a0As far as I know, Things still doesn’t have a viable cloud sync, which means that mobile device must be synced over wi-fi. \u00a0That’s an embarrassing state of affairs.<\/p>\n

Flow is pretty much perfect task management, but its expensive: $10 per month or $100 for the year. \u00a0But it’s so nice to look at and the platform is so solid and there’s no worry about switching from Mac to PC. \u00a0And when users clamored for repeating tasks, they got right to it. \u00a0There is still no native iPad app, but I’m sure this will be remedied in short order.<\/p>\n

Flow greatest strength may be it’s collaboration facilities. \u00a0This app\/service is all about teams of people in different places working together and getting the shit done. \u00a0Unfortunately, my use of task management is just for me. \u00a0So I never had any opportunity to take advantage of the amazing team features in Flow.<\/p>\n

Enter Wunderlist<\/a>. \u00a0This is, to be sure, not nearly as sexy as Flow and doesn’t have any of the collaboration potential, at least not yet. \u00a0But it is perfect for my purposes. \u00a0Free cloud based service – always synced. \u00a0Free native apps for iPhone, iPad AND ANDROID! \u00a0I never dreamed I would have viable task management on my Android phone, but now it works perfectly.<\/p>\n

If my employer implements\/mandates task management software, I will still use Wunderlist as a backup and for my personal GTD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
