The Top Personal Project Management Apps
Project management does not just apply to businesses. Anyone who works on any kind of project on will sometimes find that they feel like they’re juggling too many balls at once. Having a way to lay out everything that needs to be done in one place can be extremely helpful.
This is why you’ll find many people, who definitely aren’t project managers, still using software like Trello. Here, we will look at which of these tools is the best suited to personal use.
Trello
Trello is a great project management tool for individuals because of the smart interface it utilizes. This is a very visual and touch-friendly tool that lets you add cards to boards. Essentially, it works like a to-do list but with the ability to easily drag cards around, add due dates, and assign tasks to multiple people, which could be useful in case you ever do collaborate. You can have multiple boards for different projects, and all in all, it’s a pretty elegant and dynamic system.
OneNote
Evernote gets a whole lot of love, but OneNote is more powerful than a lot of people realize. It’s great for taking notes, but it’s also a very useful personal planner and project management tool. Just create notebooks for each of the tasks you have coming up, and then, add separate pages for the subtasks.
OneNote also works particularly well when you combine it with OneTastic and OneDrive. And it’s brilliant if you have Microsoft Surface Pro 3, in which case, you can click the pen tip to launch it and jot down notes on the move.
Todoist
Todoist is an online to-do list that allows you to set due dates, categories, projects and more. At its most basic, you can add daily tasks here such as wash jacket for tomorrow, but if you want to get more advanced, you can create to-do lists pertaining to specific jobs and much more. In other words, it can easily be scaled up to become a full personal project management system.
Azendoo
Azendoo is another lesser-known project management tool. It does have some emphasis on teams and collaboration, but if you ignore this, it’s still a great personal tool. It basically feels like taking post-it notes and attaching them around the screen and is perfect for planning a pet project. It also syncs up with Google Drive, Dropbox, and more.
