From a Women Business website we found a useful list of usual mistakes in time and tasks and time management. Please let us know if you agree or if you have found others and how T2G (see point 3) can help you in making the most of your time and task management!

#1 Mistake: Being a slave to your email or cell phone (and now Twitter)

By learning how to manage these tools, you can often reclaim a full hour of productive time every day.

#2 Mistake: Fighting fires

When you take care of tasks before they become emergencies, they often require less time, energy and resources and turn out better, are more creative and even more profitable than they do as full-fledged emergencies.

#3 Mistake: Not using an effective task list

An effective task list, adapted to your needs and style, is an extraordinarily powerful tool to save time and increase your productivity.

#4 Mistake: Ignoring your personal time management style

Knowing your learning style (visual, auditory, kinestetic) will allow you to develop tools and strategies that actually work for you.

#5 Mistake: No contingency planning

What if you child gets sick the evening before an important meeting? Having a backup plan, allows you to immediately spring into action and deal with the emergency effectively and quickly.

Tasks priority is one of the key features in Task management. Almost every tool created for managing tasks has this feature.

Task2Gather is not an exception. Right now the priority can be set either by putting the deadline or by assigning the special color to the task.

Do you remember going shopping with a list of paper where all items that you’d like to buy were inscribed by you? It’s alway been tough to do that. Firstly, you take a list of paper, a pen or pencil and then start making up the list. Another important procedure is not to leave the list at home or the worst not to lose it on your way to the shop. It becomes even more tedious when you try at the same time seek for the products you need and cross out with the pencil the stuff you’ve already put in your cart.

Task2Gather installed on your iPhone or Windows Mobile can make shopping a real pleasure. Having created a  shopping list only once you won’t need to compile it each time from scratch. (more…)

The flexibility of Task2Gather service is boundless. We’ve already told you how our company, VITO Technology, uses it for bug tracking. Now I’d like to share how Task2Gather helped me in preparing for the vacation.

I’ve been using the service for quite a long period of time then. Mostly I use it for work. So, when I started preparing for the holidays I decided to give a test drive to Task2Gather as a personal to-do list. (more…)

Flexible as it is Task2Gather can be used for absolutely different purposes. One is bug tracking – an essential part of any software development.

We at VITO use Task2Gather to track bugs in Task2Gather itself and for developing our Windows Mobile products. Every product is a separate project that is shared between all who participate in its development: project manager, responsible developer, technical director, testing manager, etc.

Task2Gather is going to be not my first experience with managing tasks online. I also tried Google Calendar, Google task gadget for the iGoogle page, Outlook tasks. Wait, there was something else… ah, there were piles of paper on my desk, in my desk and under my desk as well. All of them covered with notes for different tasks and to dos.

Apart from my fascinating work at VITO I’m also a post graduate at Novosibirsk University. So, I need to keep the track of my progress and put milestones for both my job and studies; this is a nightmare if you do it on paper like me, believe me. I’ve kept mixing up my notes all the time. Eventually, I ended up by writing all the tasks for week and day on the same list and in the end gave up the whole idea of paper based projects. This is when I switched to online projects and tried Google Calendar first. Still it was complicated, and I could hardly figure out how to set tasks.

Luckily at that point, the development of our own online service for task and project management Task2Gather was almost ready. You can imagine how much I was longing for it.
