Why are there so many of these tools but none of them truly nail it? Asana, Sprintly, Pivotal, Trello, Basecamp, the list goes on. Plus there's Google Docs.
I wonder why there isn't a general consensus about one must-have tool.
Are they all watered down and so general that no one can really fall in love with any of the products?
- djt 14y agobecause everyone approaches their to-do tools differently depending on their personality styles, visual emphasis etc etc. I think a lot of it comes from the problem that most people cannot figure out how to use email is a productive way. Not that it's a problem with email, just that they get overwhelmed and hope that a To-Do app can help them.
- troels 14y agoMy take is that underneath the polish and functionality, what all these tools really do, is to impose a very specific workflow on its users. Peoples workflows differ a lot, so some tools will match some people better than others. In the end, most people will realise that either A) nothing quite works for them or B) will change their workflow to that which their chosen tool imposes.
