Let me quickly show you how I visualise my work and map out projects I am working on.
I am not the one to switch my apps a lot, especially when it comes to stuff like browsers or emails. Years ago, I moved to Gmail and Chrome, from Outlook and Firefox, and I am just lazy to move again. Even when someone is glorifying something new, I am just too comfortable with making a move. Again.
I say again, even though it was ten years ago! 🤣🤣
But when it comes to productivity apps, or phone apps for taking notes, reminders, task lists, all that jazz - I want to try them all! 🙃🙃
If there's something that will make my day-to-day operations more manageable, I'll give it a go. There are some apps and sites I regularly use, like:
Trello
I track every project in this Kanban-style board. It gives me a quick overview of where I am, what I need to do next, and it works really nice with attaching files, setting reminders, due dates and sharing with clients.
Miro Board
This is a great tool to work with your team on project timelines, roadmap, and brainstorm using a ton of ready templates for things like agile workflow, user research, meeting notes, remote sprint, etc.
I even used it to create a something like a mind map of where I focus my energy work and career-wise and keep track of the main components. Each of these elements has its own corresponding Trello board. There's a similar map for personal development and stuff I do unrelated to "work". I've blurred out some sensitive info and future stuff that I'm working on at the moment.
Recently I was recommended a cool mind map app called "Mindly App" that could potentially expand on this and give me a bit more options to add interactivity around tasks and goals with this map, and I look forward to trying it out in the next few weeks.
