Complete Your Unfinished Projects With This Free App
All task management apps are good, but sometimes you need a little more organizational power than a simple (digital) to-do list. I’ve been experimenting with Nozbe lately, and I liked how the app makes it easy to keep track of everything you need to do across the many projects you manage at the same time.
There are two things you need to know about Nozbe before I get into the heart of the matter. First, the application (and the web service) is based on the always popular ” Get Started ” philosophy. In other words, it offers an easy way to keep track of everything you need to do on a particular project, down to the smallest detail. And you can organize and prioritize these elements in various and useful ways.
Secondly, Nozbe looks like a paid app. And this. If you want full, unlimited access to all of its features, you’ll have to pay at least $ 8 per month for an individual account. Nozbe also has a more limited free version that starts when the app’s 30-day automatic trial expires. You will lose access to the Nozbe Team features as a solo account is a one-person group and you will only be able to track five projects at a time. However, this is a great incentive to finish the job.
I love how Nozbe immediately takes you to your “priority” to-do list – in line with the “Ready” mindset – as soon as you launch a website or mobile app ( iOS / Android ). If you classify your many tasks correctly, this small list should be all you need for most of your daily checkups.
When it’s time to add more projects and tasks, Nozbe will give you several options to customize your work. Projects can have their own descriptions, colors, and labels, and you can even create templates (filled with common tasks) that you can use to quickly launch and launch new projects.
As part of projects, you can assign estimated times and expected completion dates for the various tasks you create, which will help you be honest with your workload. The tasks can be repeated as needed, and you can describe each task if you need additional space to organize your thoughts (or research). You can even assign tasks to separate “categories” as another way to organize your work if the default “by project” setting isn’t enough.
And, nevertheless, there is more to come. You can view your tasks by project or by the aforementioned categories, and you also get an Inbox for tasks others have assigned you (if applicable), as well as a calendar view to see what happens every day and week. You can also search for tasks and projects throughout your Nozbe setup if you’re feeling overwhelmed.
While Nozbe’s free plan isn’t quite as generous as, say, tons of basic services you’ll find in an app tracking project like Asana or Clickup , it’s $ 1-2 cheaper per month than both (if you don’t go for the annual Clickup plan v) . And honestly, I love this limitation as it forces you to focus on the projects that matter the most. After all, what good is a project management application if you never make progress on 80% of them?
