To be fair, I have to give some other applications a crack before I can deliver a final verdict in good conscience. Unless I employ a brilliant chimp slave to be my minute-by-minute taskmaster, I’ll have to give at least a pittance of effort to make this “doing stuff responsibly” thing work out. Just logging in to assign and specify my tasks requires a certain level of organization - and dedication to organization - that on particularly busy afternoons I just couldn’t be bothered with. The Bad: The thing is, though, that in order for Nozbe to be an effective organizational tool in my life, I’d need to be pretty consistently motivated about being organized. Honestly, there was little else to it, and I found it both commendable and unremarkable in its straightforwardness. You could then assign the tasks times and deadlines, which I found made me extremely paranoid (in the best way possible) about a bunch of projects that were almost due. Tasks could be simply relegated to whichever segment of my existence they pertained (“Office,” “Freelance,” “Errands,” “Retirement Dreams,” etc.), and they could be specified with notes, file attachments, or pretty much any other data you’d want to affiliate. It had an uncomplicated soft green layout with easily accessible folders and drag-and-drop capabilities. The Good: First and foremost, Nozbe was extremely idiot-proof and thus OK for a technology novice. The closest I ever got was sending myself reminders via e-mail, which I’d delete upon completion of whatever monotonous task needed lovin’, but this week, as the first step in my special “get things done” series, I tried Nozbe.Īpp Overview: Nozbe, the product’s website claims, is a “ time- and project-management application for busy people and teams.” I’ve never used an online application for staying on task before. In an ongoing “get things done” series on this ADD/ADHD Product Review Blog, I’m going to be testing out online and digital apps and software that claim to help with task and time management, because structuring my days is often no easier than building a ship in a bottle with my toes.
