Re: [AFMUG] OT Productivity

[Chuck McCown]

I use Gantt when critical paths can be defined in time.  It is good for big 
projects with contractors etc.  But for development work where it largely 
depends on me, my to-do list works just fine.

I never got into Evernote, so maybe I'll check out Samepage.

I use WorkFlowy, but it doesn't have any way to really prioritize or make 
dependent.


I think I need something like Project to GANT my activities.

Anyone have a tool they like for that type of project tracking?

Evernote.

Definitely not even close to perfect, but it seems the most usable of
any solution I've tried for this type of stuff, so it ends up being
what I use the most.  I'd love to hear someone suggest something else
better though...

Also recording and reference notes like topology drawings, meetings

Evernote works great.   For those Microsoft office users out there, OneNote is 
a really good app as well.  Does great with web clippings, pictures and general 
notes.   We use it to build a very simple knowledgebase for our folks as well 
as the searching is so good.   It also syncs to all platforms, which is one of 
the great features of Evernote.

I use various queues in our ticketing system as the master to do list. 
That way everything from customer requests to internal requests are in 
the same system and everyone can see what's going on.

I have my master to-do lists on a word document on google drive.  I look at 
it and true it up every few days.
If I am sitting around watching TV and I have an idea, I ask my wife to 
email me a keyword so the next day I will remember the thought.

Excel would allow comments and drawings to be attached to individual items.
