If you really want all these sharing features, MLO is not the right tool at the moment… And actually I don’t care how someone else organizes him/herself, so I don’t want to force him/her to use “my” tool to get tasks assigned or to report progress. This overview enables me to follow up with him/her quickly. For me it was enough to have an quick overview which task I have delegated to whom. But that was the point I stopped automating the process of task assignments. Furthermore, I don’t get any progress reports by John automatically. But then the media disruption occurs: I either have to call John, drop him an email or walk by his desk to assign the task to him. That indicates me that I have delegated this task to John and I have a view that filters for such tags with an outline which task I have assigned to whom. The way I work around this, to setup a tag in MLO that starts with “>”, i.e. I also have a lot of such delegated tasks. Is the answer out there? Let me know what other systems should be added to the list. I’ve looked at Google Tasks, but it’s missing so many features that it’s not worth even adding to the list - yet. They’re all very close, but they’re all still missing some essential items. I think Nirvana, gQueues, Thymer and Producteev have the best chance of getting things cleaned up. Nozbe is still the only one to handle those basic ideas. 32 33 34 systems later and we’ve got nothing. Zenbe Lists - No stars, next actions, overview page, etc.I guess “simple” isn’t technically a requirement, but this is a mess.
Some are very good, but I’m not covering their good points today. Here are the 32 33 34 35 systems I’ve looked at, in alphabetical order. Am I asking for too much? It doesn’t seem like it, but maybe I am… So what do we have? I’ve gone through a ton of different systems and they all fall short on at least one of the items above. Here’s a short video where I explain those items a bit more: Just have shared projects show up along side my non-shared items, not tucked away in some special “sharing” section. Have items due today (or overdue) show up on that overview page.I don’t want to see everything at once just the items I’ve selected. “Next Actions” or “Starred Items” or some kind of nice overview.Call it something else (“queues” or whatever), but I need to be able to group things. iPhone app (or at least an iPhone compatible version).I mean, there are literally hundreds of task management systems out there can’t any of them get it right? However, I always feel like there must be something else out there that’s at least comparable to it. It’s certainly got some quirks and minor issues, but it’s not bad. I’ve been using Nozbe for a while now to manage my tasks, and overall I’m quite happy with it.
