My own recent desperate efforts to manage a growing number of tasks led me to evaluate another program, a Mac application from Cultured Code - called, simply, Things. After that a tiered pricing system is applied based on the number of collaborators, and includes support and reporting functionality. Most interestingly, Producteev Two is free for individual use - actually, you can collaborate with up to two other users before being charged. The free iPhone app syncs in the background with the online account, keeping all task statuses up to date. The platform can also push notifications to you, either through your desktop environment or an iPhone app that was just released. In that sense the application works a bit like a streamlined version of SharePoint or Google Wave, focused on task management. In that case each of you can see the tasks and note when each is completed, and you can communicate about the tasks within the Producteev platform if you wish. For instance, you can link to the colleagues with whom you're working on a given project (a Workspace, in Producteev parlance). This setup lends itself particularly well to collaborative work environments, an important point for planners working with geographically scattered teams. So if you're on IM all day, you can easily add a new task to the platform when you think of it, without launching a separate application. The application also supports various other messaging services, such as Gtalk, Yahoo! Messenger, AIM, ICQ and Twitter. Once you sign up for the account, you can add tasks via the online interface - or via e-mail, by sending them to there's even a Gmail gadget that allows you to manage tasks through the Gmail interface.

The platform-independent application resides online, and it offers various methods of managing your tasks. How often does the payoff exceed the extra time invested at the outset? And even after learning the system, how much time can one spend organizing life without actually doing the tasks at hand?ДЄ new task management app just released this week, Producteev Two, takes an interesting approach to the problem.

Buying and learning a new task management application, and figuring out how to incorporate it into your daily workflow, has, at times, seemed to me a dubious way to increase one's productivity.
