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.
