Quick to-do list?

avatar belov.ss Jan 24. 2010. 7:03 pm #1
Hello everyone,

I'm thinking of how to make quick to-do list.
For example, I'm discussing with client one project, got email or anything else. I need to create a small to-do - "Create ticket for task1 in project 1"
So, then I see all my tasks and create normal tickets for developers

And only me can see my to-dos

How to make it?

There are many ways to capture this information, and not all are activeCollab related (I use pen and paper for stuff like this for example). You can create Notes checklist in the project, create Notes project with incoming mailbox tied to it if you want to email stuff in, create a notes Page so you can track changes etc etc.

Basically, there's no best way to do this. Use any tool that you find convenient.

I use paper and pen to count work time, then add it to "Time" module. Will try to find to-do list tool

I sometimes use the Adobe Air app called Doomi - it's really simple and basic but is perfect for personal todo's

We have recently launched ToDo module with planner, assignments, tickets convertion, flexible settings.

What other competitors had initially, we brought to ac community taking all advantages from other management systems.

This module is considered the most wanted and brings activecollab to the top. Now all competitors stay behind.

I've found the quick add feature of activeCollab really useful here. We recently also created a Quick Add Plus module that lets you create tasks too (original Quick Add module lets you create milestones, tickets etc but not tasks). We've also taken care that if you add tasks to one ticket, you can add another task right after.

I blogged recently about how my team loves this and have other clients mention that this module saved them hours. You may want to try that out!

A desktop tool could certainly make this quicker. I've used anything from a simple text file to Notational Velocity for Mac. I also have a pen and paper handy. It makes sense to have a single system to keep track of all your todos (core principle of GTD) so you may want to review and sync things regularly.

Like Ilija and Leon mentioned, use something that's convenient and appropriate. There is no best way!
