Fragmented Task Management

I keep track of stuffs using Todoist, Task Coach, Google Notebook and Google Calendar. That’s a lot of apps. Here’s a rundown on what I do with it.

Todoist

General stuffs with as little detail as possible. Stuffs like Redesign Blog, Improve MyQuotes, Read <this> book and many more.

Task Coach

Here I keep specific tasks that I have to do. Infiltrate enemy castle with little noise as possible and kill the warlord kind of tasks. The task summary is as detailed as possible but not too detailed to keep it from cluttering the view. Tasks I divide into category for example Work -> MyQuotes. I also filter and sort out the tasks by category and have an overview of priorities. I also keep track of time that I spent on specific tasks with Task Coach.

Google Notebook

This is where all the details goes into. All the steps, all the how-tos, all the references and mechanics of stuffs. IT IS TEH NOTEBOOK! Here lies the secret of the Hammer Fist. One hit, one kill.

Google Calendar

Every now and then I plan stuffs and put it in the calendar. Like holidays and stuffs, going for a trip, hostile territory infiltration, some appointment with local warlords and other sorts of things. It’s just nice, I love it.

There you have it. The fragmented ways of task management. It might be horrifying at first glance but I have come to terms with it. Maybe I could combine them and make a SUPER task managing app. The DOES-IT-ALL. HAHAHA! I’m not gonna fall for that. Thats just too much work. Or is it… ?

Maybe I should learn to manage stuffs and keep it in one app. But then again I get frustrated when that one true app can’t do what I want it to do. The hoops that I have to jump through is just unbearable and I just avoid doing it altogether, which is worse.
