Which ‘To Do’ App Do You Use?

I’ve played with lots of the task manager apps on the Apple App Store for my iPhone and there’s a diverse range out there to help (or hinder!) your productivity.

I spent $12.99 on an app called Things which had a brilliant write up and looked excellent. I have to admit, the price made me think it’d be an upmarket, holistic app. I was wrong! It lacked some basic features you can find in much cheaper apps such as recurring tasks. I decided to check a few others out.

I downloaded some free versions and tried them out but the best one I found is called 2Do. Check it out at http://www.2doapp.com. It’s about $4 on the app store but has pretty much everything you need. The features page is pretty impressive plus there’s an inbuilt tutorial to help you get the most out of it.

Use Technology to Your Advantage

There are so many tools you can use to organise yourself and increase productivity that you can get nothing done trying to work them all out. Few tips when creating a new system for life or ministry:
– ask your peers what they use
– what technology do you have available right now?
– what can you afford? A couple of apps for your iPhone can sometimes so the job you need. E.g. I now use JotNot for scanning and faxing documents. Cost me $7.99 on the iPhone App Store but saved me from buying a fax machine!
– what’s free? I use a free WordPress blog for my sermon illustrations I want to store for future use.
– what can you combine for maximum awesomeness?! Today I took a photo of a page from a book I’m reading with Jotnot, sent it to Google Docs to work it’s OCR magic then copied the text into a blog post on my illustrations blog and did it all from my iPhone :). Awesome!

Final tip: work out what it is you want to do and ask someone who is more savvy than you. Comment below and I’ll help any way I can.

Streak.ly – Get into better habits

Gotta love an application that lets you ‘game your day’.  Streak.ly allows you to insert which tasks you want to complete EVERY day then tick them off each day and try and get a ‘streak’.  The idea is to try and get better streaks and create the habits you want in your life.  Not bad.

Mashable did an article on it with a link to sign up for first 500 people.  I got in.  Head over and get yours if they’re still available.

LOVE this idea.  It can really help anyone create healthy habits.  Check it out.
