I was going to say something similar. Is it ever the case that a single app or something tiny piece of technology has revolutionised a persons discipline and ability to stay on top of things?
While apps might make things easier, unless the individual develops a personal system and follows it in a disciplined fashion, none of these things are going to make a difference.
- atoav 2y agoTools are just that, tools. 150 years ago someone might have said the same thing about a pocket watch or a paper calendar. The question is, whether the form of task keeping the tool encourages fits to your practice. E.g. if you have a well ordered software engineering life, thst thing might be perfect, if you are a mother of three that works as a alpine guide a paper based system might work better. Or you might just not like the choices they made — which is a perfectly fine reason not to use it. What I have learned is that procrastinators will hunt for the perfect tool to manage their backlog, especially when it means they can avoid tackling their backlog. One thing tho: time tracking can be an eye opener. Many people do 30 minutes of effective work a day, while (understandably) feeling stressed for not getting shit done. Task Warrior has a great time tracking extension. So depending on your life and needs it might be well worth figuring out where you spend your time.
