I faced the same problem a while ago. I had lost track of time and started falling behind on my work. Here are the things I did to boost my productivity ( I followed an article about what to do)
Hope this helps. Stay safe!
Nice! During my master's degree, I used Quire to implement the GTD method and did similar things as you did. It really helped me plan, manage, and track all my projects and exams (if you know what it was like to be an engineering student😂). I like that I can directly prioritize to know which one I should do first. I even use it for my daily life, for example I like to list out the movies I would like to watch and so on.
Get yourself a system. I recommend GTD method.
Realize the problem is the transition not in the writing part.
Maybe a good task management software can do wonder.
The key is trying NOT to be an overachiever and stop beating yourself if you've done nothing today.
Project is a list that contains everything that requires more than 2 actions to finish.
Reference: you dont have to work on it, don't have to finish anything.
So basically Project is a complicated action plan.
I've just read this article about how you can use a project management tool to organize your reference list: https://quire.io/blog/p/Quire-Peekaboo-and-GTD-Methodology.html
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely give these a try!
Do you have any project management recommendations? Currently using Quire.
Thanks for chiming in, but Just so you're not holding your breath, combined arms are presently out of scope and BV is low on the priority list. More information on specific project goals is available here: https://quire.io/w/Flechs-sheets/25/Facilitate_in-person_BattleTech_gameplay_focuse... Though I'm also happy to elaborate on these items or project priorities more generally.
I think you can give Quire a try.
It's a free todo list with the features you need. Another plus is that they have the kanban board and gantt chart to help you see more of the progress on your tasks. They also have the priorities feature where you can mark your tasks and set them into different categories.
Hope this helps!
One of my favorites is Quire.
It's a free task management software that provides features such as kanban board, offline syncing, gantt chart, easy collaboration, reminders, priorities....etc.
It's quite agile and easy to use. Only downside is that they don't have many templates.
Have you tried Quire?
It's a free project management software/todo list with features such as kanban board, gantt chart, easy collaboration, offline syncing, reminders, priorities, nested task list....etc
Simple interface and user friendly features. Downside is that they don't have many templates
I use Quire to manage all of my tasks.
They provide offline syncing so I think you can give it a try. One of my favorite free task management softwares so far. They also provide a free Gantt chart.
I recommend Quire.
It's a free project management software that provides features such as Gantt chart, kanban board, offline syncing, priorities...etc
It has both the webpage and mobile app. Highly recommend!
I use Quire, a free task management software to help me stay productive.
It's a bullet journal/collaboration tool that I use to keep track of my tasks and set reminders. Something about seeing a notification that reminds me of a deadline helps me stay focused.
A point for Quire on this one. I use it to connect with my clients too, and the good thing is that I can share my project with them (they don't need to sign up). I think they only require larger companies with more people to pay, because so far its been free for me.
Asana and Wunderlist are good alternatives, too. I'm not sure about the pricing for Asana, but I do know that Wunderlist is free. Wunderlist is moving to Microsoft To-Do, so maybe you can also check this out.
Hope this helps!
You could check out Quire!
Quire allows you to share project links to clients without them signing up.
They wrote a blog post on this feature:
https://quire.io/blog/p/Share-a-project-with-your-clients-without-them-sign-up.html
Other than that, you could create unlimited tasks and subtasks in projects.
They have a hierarchal task list view which I think it's good for organizing hundreds of tasks.
thank you for sharing this.
to be honest, I have never heard of <strong>Pivotal Tracker</strong> before.
but I really like using Wrike, I enjoy the Gantt chart feature that they have .
it's interesting that you don't have Asana on your list, since Asana is quite big in the project management tool game.
have you heard of Quire? it's also a project management tool.
I found about Quire because they shared a post on how to migrate from Asana to Quire.
I find them very easy to use, they have a simple and clean interface.
The only dislike is that they don't have a time tracking feature yet.
Planning my day or even the week ahead helps to keep me productive. When you have everything planned, oftentimes, you will follow it and not rely on emotions. I like to plan with task management software like Tick Tick or Quire. It's easier to track and more manageable.
Great post! I like to prepare in advance! Planning my day ahead of time keeps me productive while working from home. I prefer to plan with task management software because it's easy and has many features like prioritizing, I've only tried a few apps, but so far, I like Tick Tick and Quire.
Thanks for sharing! Indeed leading distributed teams is challenging. My team is also distributed, and one of the ways to make a distributed team is through communication and using the right tools. Our team found that project management software helped us plan and track our projects. I like Tick Tick and Quire. Though I haven't tried other tools.
You can try to write down your to-do list and plan your day ahead of time. You scheduled every little detail too. It's okay if, in the beginning, you cannot follow your list. But at least you know what you can do that day instead of doing other unnecessary things. I like to keep my to-do list using task management software. This way, I can track my progress and keep improving myself. I'd suggest using Tick Tick or Quire.
My team leader said that take a long vacation every year for your own sake. So we didn't feel pressured when we were about to take long breaks. Apart from that, short breaks (5-10 mins) are also important to be scheduled in your daily work life. This can maintain your focus and avoid burnout. I like to use task management software like Tick Tick and Quire.
You can start doing your long-postponed hobby. According to the Atomic Habits book, you only need to spend 2 minutes daily to make it part of your daily routine. You can start writing down your goals and break them into small, manageable tasks. I like to use task management software to organize my tasks and track my progress. You can check out Tick Tick or Quire; both are great tools!
I was in the same place as you before. After gathering all my willingness to change, it takes you 2-minutes to start a new habit. According to the Atomic Habits book, you can start a new hobby or habit by spending two minutes daily doing it. So I started this method by writing down my goals in task management software. Also, you can prioritize and schedule them so you don't waste time on unnecessary things. I like to use Tick Tick and Quire; both are great!
Be more organized. I started to write down my lists and schedule them. This way, I can be mindful of my time. I like to use task management software, especially Tick Tick and Quire.
Have you tried project management software? This tool is great to collaborate within the team. Everyone will be on the same page because easier to track the project's progress. Some of the great tools are Wrike and Quire.
Sometimes I got random ideas when I was waiting for the bus or something so I install task management software just so that I will not forget and I can directly set a schedule. This way, I know when should I go over it again and elaborate on my idea. I'm a writer btw. Nowadays many tools are available but you can try Wrike or Quire.
You can try to plan your day ahead of time and write down your to-do list. Remember to break down your to-do list into small, manageable tasks. This way, you won't feel overwhelmed. After, prioritize them. I would also recommend using a timer to track how much time you spend on a task. Lastly, I use task management software to plan and organize my tasks. It saves me time with planning, scheduling, and tracking my result. Wrike and Quire are both great tools!
Planning my day ahead of time does help to calm me down the following day and keep me active as I don't have pressure for what is the next thing I need to do. Using task management tools like Wrike or Quire also really helps me prioritize my tasks and organize my overall work.
Terrific! I am about to start my Master's while still working, and this post is really helpful! I am using Quire for task management software at the moment, although I can also try Todoist later. Trello is also great. I often kept checking on my phone for no reason, and using Forest is quite helpful. On another note, I'm interested in trying the Waking up to try to meditate.
Nice! I also like to plan my week ahead of time with task management tools and it really helps with planning and organizing my tasks. I'm using Quire to do this and checking on my daily plan would be the first thing to do in the morning.
Besides, I also like to write my journal on the weekend to reflect on the past week by using Notion. Journaling, in my opinion, really helps me to get motivated to improve myself in the following weeks.
You have to specify what your goals are. Break down what are the things that you need to do to achieve that. Try breaking it down as detailed as possible. For me, I write it down on task management tools to get more organized. You can start in small steps, the important thing is consistency. In case you want to know I use tools like Quire.
Also, I like to reflect on my progress and write it down in my journal in Notion. Good luck!
The best way to stick to your work routine is to stick to your routine. Build a routine every morning and stick to it where ever you are. I like to write down my to-do list and set them as a recurring tasks. Every time I finished one task, I would tick off to complete it. As for the tools, I like to use task management tools like Wrike or Quire.
Starting a new habit. I'm practicing the 2-minute rule by James Clear. I would say it's not easy to keep being consistent, however, using a task management tool can help to track your progress. For me, I get motivated when I say my progress and that will make me keep doing what I want to achieve every day.
Take a shower. Then, I look up my to-do list in Quire that I have prepared ahead of time. I like to plan my day as detailed as possible then I know the essential things that I need to do as my day-to-day activities can vary every day.
If you know the Atomic Habits book by James Clear, there is a way to start a new routine. You have to start your habit by doing it for 2 minutes. I personally tried it. It was not easy at first to keep the consistency going. However, as time goes by you'll get used to it.
I like to track my progress by using task management tools like Quire. It is easier to plan and track my progress with it. I also like to reflect on my daily progress every night and write it down in my journal in Notion.
You can start small and make your way up along the way. Good luck!
There are a lot of tools you can try to get more organized. For example, I use Quire as my main task management tool. I use the Pomodoro timer to time-block my schedule. And I use Pocket to store many interesting ideas, from articles to videos. Let me know if you try one of these tools.
Setting clear goals might be not as easy as it sounds. However, ever since I started to use a task management tool, I can break down my goals into small manageable goals. You can write down your to-do list and organize them. I also like to track my goals and it's easier by using tools. This way, you can make some improvements along the way. I like to use Notion and Quire, they are both great tools and I would recommend them!
Planning my day ahead does help to calm myself down the following day. I guess it's because I can directly start my day instead of thinking about what I need to do that day. Using task management tools like Wrike or Quire also really helps me plan and organize my work.
Remember to schedule your breaks. Also, it will be conducive to breaking your bigger to-dos into smaller to-dos to be more manageable. I like to use task management tools like Notion or Quire. It helps to plan your to-dos and there is a small satisfaction when I tick off all of them by the end of the day.
My three essential things to stay focused on are planning, prioritizing, and sticking with it.
The third one might be the hardest, but you can practice this repeatedly. Try to build a routine every day.
You can also break your long-term goals into smaller goals for more straightforward mapping and completing them. Using productivity apps like Notion or Quire can be really helpful and more practical.
Maybe you lack motivation because you haven't figured out what being productive means to you. One way to figure it out is to identify things that give you a sense of satisfaction and don’t make you feel guilty for spending time on them.
I like scheduling and preparing myself for the next day ahead. The reason is that I don't want to waste my time in the morning thinking of what I need to do. Using a task management tool can help me plan and track what I need to do.
You should define your productivity and find what activities make you motivated.
First thing first, you need to know what your goals are. This is important because you won't lose sight of the end goal and motivation.
Next, make a list of the things that you should do. Remember to list everything, even if it's a small thing. You also need to prioritize your lists. It's important to know which one you should do first and which one you can do later.
Then, do the hard tasks first. Don't procrastinate your time during the day to avoid the hard tasks. Aside from that, you can create a list of things not to do. Reflect on the things that keep you distracted and write them down so you can focus better on your to-do list.
It is better to keep your to-do list in one place for easier access and track what you have done. I'd recommend using task management tools like Workflowy or Quire.
The only task management software I used. I really like it because it was designed based on the nested task list. Now I even use it for organizing my personal life.
Thanks for sharing! I've tried to use several productivity tools, but I couldn't stop using Quire. I've used it for over a year and still couldn't stop using it. With the simplicity of the UI and the features, I can easily keep track of my projects. Collaborating with my clients is also easy since I can share my project without them signing up.
Have you tried Quire? It's a project management tool I am using. It has a friendly interface and is packed with excellent features. I started using it over 6 months ago and didn't look for anything else.
Getting diaries with colorful pen is exciting! However, in this digitalized world, it will be easier to have everything in one place. There are many productivity tools nowadays that you can choose and then personalized it like you want. One of the tools that I recommend is Quire. It really helps to increase your productivity.
Project management software like Quire is great for teams including remote teams. They also have a feature where you can assign tasks to external teams if you have many third party collaborations.
I think it is better to manage your hybrid work in team-based since the needs for each team is different. Also, for easier collaboration with other team I would suggest to use project management software.
I'm alright with starting a hybrid work as long as corporate can provide a clear agreement between the team about when and why we need to be present in the office.
I like Quire. A productivity app that is easy to use and increases my productivity. It helps me to plan my day-to-day activities. A good reminder of what's coming and can sync to all my devices.
I suggest you try Quire. It has a Timeline view where you can have a bird's eye view of your projects. It also has a friendly UI and other project management features to help you get things done.
Yes, with your growing business, there will be many developments that you will face. Project management software is a great tool for any business to streamline its workflow. I would suggest you choose the one that has the Kanban board and Gantt chart. It will be very helpful. You can try Quire, it's a simple yet robust tool.
If you are still looking, you can try Quire. It's a project management software that I am currently using. It has comprehensive features that project management software needs.
For project management software, I suggest you try Quire. I've been using it for over 6 months and am very happy with it. They have a list, board, and timeline view that you can easily switch.
Whenever I struggled to start a new habit I always start to do it for 2 minutes. The Atomic Habits book had open my mind that we can start something new by small steps. Perfection is achieved only if you make it a practice.
No commuting. To maximize remote work, you need to work together with your team in the same platform where you can plan and organize your projects. Project management software is an excellent tool for fully functioning remote work.
My motivation is to buy food for my dog and me!
I would suggest having a productivity app where you can list out your to-do lists and, most importantly, build your self-discipline.
I use a productivity app and also combine it with the Pomodoro technique. I find myself more productive when working within the 25 minutes interval. Productivity app helps me plan and organize my work. Currently, I'm using Quire and so far so good.
Try to implement the Get Things Done method. It will help you Capture - Clarify - Organize - Review and Engage. This should help you know where to start and what to do. More importantly, don't forget to take a break. This is important to recharge your mind and body.
Take a break. Go out for a walk, take a nap, read a book. When you take a break, it doesn't always mean that you procrastinate. It can be called productive downtime to recharge your body and avoid burnout.
Try to build a routine and list out everything that you have in mind, slowly but sure your body will adapt to it. Once it become a routine, you can have a constant productivity mindset. You can read the Atomic Habits book.
It would be better if a web app and mobile app could tune it together. For example, I use Quire as my productivity app. When I'm working on my laptop or going outside and just bringing my phone, I can easily update things.
I'm also a Notion user, primarily for journaling. But as a project management tool, it's not as intuitive, in my opinion. I would like you to try Quire. Simple but powerful software.
Maybe you can try to break down your long-term goals into short-term goals. Shorter-term goals are completed more quickly, providing a more immediate sense of accomplishment. You can also get feedback sooner if you work on those goals in the short term. This gives you the flexibility to make any necessary revisions or tweaks to your work.
I use Quire. Clear and easy, which is what I need.
There are so many project management tools options out there! You have to choose the one which you collaborate with your clients. I like Asana, but it can be pricey. You can also try Quire for a cheaper option, easy to use and has collaborated with many platforms as well. They also allow external members to join your projects, which is nice.
Thanks for the great list! I like Trello, used it for one year, but now I switched to Quire as my project management tool. I switched because Trello is difficult to work with if I have too many cards. I've been using Quire for the past 5 months and so far, I've had no complaint.
As part of a small team member myself, I would like to recommend you to try a good project management tool called Quire. You can view the to-do list, board, and timeline in every project and it's easy to track the progress of your team members.
Hey, check out Quire. It has a pretty simple UI and great features like board view and timeline view, recurring date, and you can also sync it with Google Calendar. Trello is nice as well, but it can get hectic with so many cards.
If you are still looking for the Asana alternative, try Quire. It has all the features you need. It's pretty simple and powerful.
You might want to try Quire. It's a to-do list app I have been using for 1.5 years already. I dump every task that I need to do, set the deadlines, and categorize them based on their importance. The app is pretty simple and will not take you a long time to get used to. You can sync it with Google Calendar as well.
Good luck with your new position! My team also works remotely and we regularly schedule a video-based meeting to catch up with our progress and update our overall goal and how to achieve it. Another tip for a remote team is to build trust. It would be best to have clear guidelines for response time, reports, etc. This is very important because teamwork will be hard to establish without it.
Another point you could not miss is using the appropriate project management software to track progress and streamline workflow despite time and location differences. My team uses Quire, and so far, it's been amazing. It has excellent features and a transparent view of team members' projects.
Last but not least, if possible, you should get the entire team together once in a while and spend quality time having face-to-face chats. Have a little picnic in the park or do other fun things.
I don't know if this can work for you, but Quire enables you to work offline, but you might need to access the internet first and open the project you want to work with. It will sync later when you have internet. Maybe you can try it.
Hey, you can try Quire. It has an infinite nested task list. You can also separate several projects into one organization (they called it organization as a higher hierarchy of projects). I like it because they have a simple interface. Cheers!
Hey, there are so many productivity apps you can use. For a to-do list app you can try Quire, it's a great app for personal users, I think. You can break down your task in a list view and see your progress in a timeline view. And I also like Pocket to store all the articles or links, even videos that I found interesting but haven't got the time to read them. Good luck!
I tried Asana, but it was too complicated and the price didn't suit my budget. Also, Asana is more for team users. You can try Quire, it has an infinite task list and a timeline view to monitor your progress. I think it's a great project management tool for personal users. They do offer a free tier but you will get limited features, of course. The price they offer is not bad, in my opinion.
After about two years working remotely, I can say that managing the remote team will need a collaborative tool that is simple to use but enable to see everyone's progress. I also think that having a 1:1 review session will help support and guide the team members.
It certainly helps a lot! I started to write a to-do list with the GTD method. It's not only helped me organize my daily tasks but also helped me avoid being overwhelmed. Sometimes, when you are just thinking about it in your brain, it feels like too many things to do. But once you write it down, it all becomes clear and no longer frightening.
Using productivity apps also will help you so much in organizing your lists. My favorites are Quire and Notion.
One more thing, nothing beats the feeling of checking those tasks when you complete them!
Great list! Why not try Quire? It's also easy to use and has a nested task list. They also have a Peekaboo feature where you can hide tasks that you don't want to handle at the moment.
Nice article! When my team and I started to work remotely, we struggled a lot because we didn't have a clear guideline, and we didn't trust each other somehow. But, once we were on the same page and had better software to maintain our productivity, we became much more productive than before! We just need trust, the right project management software, and a good internet connection lol.
Cheers!
Hi there! For project management software I like to use either Trello or Quire. They both amazingly change my life for the better! Also, in Quire, they have the Peekaboo feature which allows you to hide tasks you don't want to handle at the moment.
Interested in MyFitnessPal as I'm trying to track my daily calories! Anyway, I tried many to-do list app but finally down to Quire! It has a simple user interface which I like. For journaling, I'm using Notion.
Well, when I think about my process it might be a little complication but I think it works.
OneNote is my documentation.
ServiceNow for incidents for the standard break/fix
draw.io - for creating diagrams mostly for documentation - I like to visualize my systems and designs
quire - this is where my projects, ideas, and task are created and stored
In quire I create projects for the different categories of my work. Like I have an ideas project with random task. Then when I get my goals for the year I create a project for each of those goals then I create task for what I will work on for that goal. Then at the end of the year I just copy out the completed task into our HR system.
Suis assez fan de https://quire.io/ perso. Pas de solution directement lié à l'environnement MS désolé, mais c'est pratique et intuitif et je ne m'en passe plus (et pour ma part qui suis pas du tout crayon/papier parce que j'écris comme un gland, c'est mieux).
I use Quire for project management.
It's simple, agile, and has a gantt chart.
​
I also use Timetree as a calendar. Love their interface!
I find time management softwares to be quite handy.
For work, I use productivity tools to help manage my task. This helps keep track of deadlines and set reminders.
Quire.
A task management software with features such as kanban board, offline syncing, reminders, gantt chart, priorities...etc
I think you can try Quire. They have a premium subscription but you don't need that in order to use most of the features.
Pretty helpful since they have the offline syncing function
Have you tried Todoist or Quire?
Todoist can get a bit pricey though so maybe Quire is a good choice for you.
Quire is basically free except for the gantt chart feature. They have features like the kanban board, reminders, offline syncing, easy collaboration, priorities...etc.
Todoist is good for setting todo lists. Simple and easy to use, but they lack in special features.
I think most project management software has these features.
For the best features and more integrations, you can try: Trello, Asana, Jira.
If you're on a budget: Quire.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the recommendations!
Here are mine:
1. Quire: An agile project management software. They recently launched a gantt chart feature so that's a huge plus.
2. Zapier: I use it to get rid of repetitive tasks. It allows you to connect two different softwares and key-in everything you need from one to the other.
I think you can try Quire.
It has the free version and the subscription version.
Basically the free one is all you need unless you need the gantt chart. It already has features like the kanban board, offline syncing, reminders, integrations...etc.
If I recall correctly, Quire has this feature of easy collaboration, where you can share your lists and tasks with people without needing them to sign up. You can add separate groups so that they can only view the things in their group.
Hope this helps!
I think you can give Quire a try.
It's simple, has the features you mentioned, and also the kanban board and gantt chart view.
Pretty agile.
