Choosing the right task manager is not easy. We interviewed several representatives of the IT industry to find out which solutions they prefer.

Many people trust their smartphone more than their head. Keeping all tasks and projects in mind is almost impossible. This is why task managers are so popular. We interviewed several IT industry representatives to find out which task managers they use!

I use Any.do. I tried different ones, including very sophisticated ones, but settled on it because it is cross-platform, visual, very fast and integrates with the Cal calendar on Android.

Any.do requires you to independently decompose the task and assign priorities to subtasks, but, in my opinion, this is how I achieve results rather than when mini-tasks are grouped into large groups.

Or maybe I'm just old-fashioned - a few years ago I used a notebook for tasks, although I already had a smartphone.

I've been looking for the perfect task manager for myself for several years. As a result, it turned out that there is nothing more effective than a notebook or the Notes application in an iPhone - this way you can always make changes on the fly. Inside the team, we use Asana - an excellent tool for group work, convenient, intuitive, powerful and flexible.

I use two: Any.do and Sonner.

Both turned out to be very convenient for me: the first - for keeping a to-do list, the second - for their circular organization (very visual).

The only service I use from time to time is Calendar in OS X or on a Google server. And then only on the days of international exhibitions, when the schedule of meetings is too tight to be guaranteed to be remembered.

And so I keep everything in my head and get it out as needed. Memory has not failed yet.

In my life, I have tried a bunch of task managers for a wide variety of platforms and eventually settled on the "Reminders" and "Calendar" built into OS X and iOS. Even if there are no superblucks in them, they are always at hand and do not suffer from incompatibility after the next OS update.

In the end, these are just tools, and the main thing is the ability to use them. The only exception I make is for mail - I really enjoy using Mailbox and am looking forward to the OS X release.

I don't really use any task managers. Judge for yourself: there are Reminders in OS X, there are tasks in our Bitrix24 system, I am studying Omnifocus. Evernote and other applications are constantly climbing into the territory of tasks. As a result, I settled on the fact that I conduct work tasks in Bitrix24. It sets the work context and there is no confusion between work and personal life. Personal tasks and shopping lists are maintained in Wunderlist. The most urgent tasks are carried out on a piece of paper.:) The day ends - a piece of paper flies into the trash. If the task is not completed, then it is not so urgent.

As you can see, almost everyone prefers the simplest and most standard solutions. Now you! Tell us which task managers you use and why.
