50 Effective Ways To Boost Your Productivity
Softwares You Can Use To Create Your Productivity System
Productivity Tools
Of course, if you don’t have much experience using productivity
systems/software, it’s better for you to try around with different
systems so you get a sense of what works for you and what doesn’t,
before you start creating your own productivity system. Here are some
good tools to start off with:
- Calendar: Google calendar
is the best calendar option out there. It has basic calendar functions
for event management (title, location, description, option to repeat)
and other add-on functions like an addendum task-list and different
calendars for different purposes (i.e. Work, Personal, Exercise, etc –
you can color code them to distinguish between them). You can also share
your calendar with others who use Gcal too, making it a collaborative
tool.
- Sticky Notes: After trying a good number of sticky notes software, I concluded I love Morun Free Sticky Notes
the most because it’s so user-friendly and light on resources. You can
have multiple notes for different purposes, and differentiate based on
the note title and the color. Within each note, you can do simple
formatting (bold, italics, underline, change font color). Best of all,
it’s free!
- To-Do Lists: There are quite a number of great
online to-do lists. I’ve listed the most popular and highly rated lists
below. Each of them has its own positive points, so be sure to try them
to see how they work out for you. They are ordered from simple to
advance:
- Ta-da Lists –
Minimalists’ type of to-do list. If you are just looking for the
simplest to-do list there is, where you just list items and check them
off, this is the one. Can be integrated with iPhone.
- Todoist – Simple
interface, comes with a calendar, lets you create hierarchies among your
tasks (i.e. prioritized items), along with gmail integration, mobile
access, reminders, and more. Has mobile support as well.
- Remember the Milk
– With Milk, you can create deadlines, set tasks to recur, set priority
among tasks, have reminders and more. It’s integrated with gmail and
gcal. It’s been voted as the best to-do list manager on Lifehacker.com.
There’s also mobile phone support.
- Toodledo.com – More than just a to-do list, it’s more like a to-do system, complete with tagging, time tracking, goal setting, calendar and more. It offers all the functions that leading to-do list software have, and more.
- Project Management: For higher level organization and management.
- Tiddly Wiki
- Imagine a wiki site (complete with the functionality of tagging,
editing, saving, searching) but for your own personal use to track your
personal projects. What’s more, you also get to port it from computer to
computer.
- PB Works – Similar to Tiddly Wiki, except PB Works is more geared toward team collaboration.
- Goals on Track – Online, paid
- Vitalist - Online, free with paid version
- Nirvana - Online, free
- Thinking Rock - cross-platform, free with paid version
