The beginning of the year is usually a time when organizing, creating systems and finding better ways to stay on top of things are at the forefront of our minds. If you’re looking for new ways to help you jump start your year and hopefully keep it on the right path for the rest of the 11 + months, you might want to give these tools (sans Basecamp) a spin.
GQueues
I so really need to write a full fledged review of this system. When someone in my Google + circle asked about it, here’s what I shared.
“I’ve been using it for a few months I REALLY like it, the simplicity, the ease of adding tasks etc. I held off from upgrading before as it needed one premium account for every person you want to share tasks with but now, you don’t.”
While they don’t have a dedicated mobile app, they are accessible online via mobile. Mobile is very very important to me and it does not matter if there is an app or not. Actually, I rather prefer not having dedicated apps.
GQueues is also very affordable compared to many other tools in this space. That is definitely a plus since it falls right into my motto – “Just because you have money doesn’t mean you have to spend it”. You have to experience it.
ManyMoon (Now Do.com)
This is the system we came from prior to GQueues. There are a lot of things to love about it too and leaving was really hard. In the end, I had to because back then, they didn’t have mobile access. Just found out they are re-branding to Do.com with iOS support which is great. A step in the right direction. Unfortunately that would still not work for us because we have both iOS and Android systems. Hopefully it will for you.
RapidTASK
Just found out about this so not much to say about it. Looks intriguing.
Wrike
This is one system I’ve had my eye on for the longest time. The biggest attraction factor (in my opinion) is how well it is supposed to integrate with your email. It can be a little pricey but they do have a basic plan that’s free. Although the job doesn’t do a really good job explaining that.
GoPlan
This looks a lot like a BaseCamp alternative at a much more palatable price. Plans start at $10. Friends who use this say it has less features than industry Gorilla BaseCamp but still good especially if you don’t need (or miss) those features.
