If you’re like me and have a billion different tasks within 20 different projects and need a way to organize and efficiently execute those tasks, this post is for you! About a month ago I stumbled upon a task management tool called Action Method. In the past I had always toyed with I phone apps, but they were far from user friendly. After trying Action Method, I can honestly say that it is the most user friendly, clean, and feature rich task management service I’ve seen yet. Best of all, it’s FREE!
Action Method is a sister company to the Behance Network, a very very robust portfolio website for creatives across all industries. Whether you are on the computer or on the run, this service is accessible both online and through their iphone app. You can create tasks, projects, ect. on either and they will both sync with one another to make sure everything is up to date.
Features I love:
- Action Steps – these are what tasks are called
- Projects – basically a way to organize or collect a group of tasks
- Events – the milestones or occasions you or your team is working toward. Events are a way to organize all your action steps
- Backburners – A place to store ideas that you’d like to work on at a later time. For me it’s a great place to organize all of my thoughts from my brainstorming sessions, or a place to list ideas I don’t want to forget about.
- Discussions – This is a place to share all thoughts with the individuals or groups you are working with. File sharing is available here as well.
- Delegations – With delegations, you can create tasks and delegate them to whomever is involved in that particular project
- Alerts – iphone app
