Outlook Tasks Management: Visual and Stylish

2013-05-23T06:26:00.001+05:00

We have plenty of solutions for visual task management which, to the deepest sorrow of all Outlook users, are stand-alone applications. So we all have a choice: use the main work and task management tool we all got used to and forget about colorful solutions, or have our life and task management split between two incoherent applications: one for work and one for more productivity issues. The problem has been solved recently when TaskCracker for Outlook offered a simple add-in which makes it possible to view and manage Outlook tasks visually.

TaskCracker combines three productivity techniques which are all applied to your Outlook task list:

· Eisenhower matrix

· Zero inbox

· Getting Things Done

The main principal of Eisenhower matrix or so called Urgent-Important matrix served as basic concept for the solution interface: it does look like a matrix where you can drag and drop your tasks around. The task status and deadline is automatically assigned when you put it into the relevant cell of the matrix. When you switch back to any other Outlook view and see your tasks as a list, the status and priority is already changed.

TaskCracker installation

The add-in installs in less than 30 seconds – according to the TaskCracker website and it turned out to be the truth. The time management application proves it saves time from the very beginning. After the solution is installed, it’s enough to open your Outlook and you can already see the button there. I would add here that we first downloaded the trial in order to make a review of the new software, but I have already purchased the solution, almost right after I played around with it a little.

Playing around with the solution

First of all, you don’t need to set up or convert your Outlook tasks by any means: TaskCracker automatically presents them in the form of a visual matrix. Once you open your Outlook after the solution installation, your tasks are already there and you can drag and drop them into their places if you need to re-organize your schedule. Believe me, once you see your task list visually, you can perceive your weak points and wrong spreading of your workload at a glance. Besides, the interface is so good-looking and almost… stylish that you feel a desire to pick a task with your mouse and place it into another cell.

If you have any possible mistakes of your strategic planning, you can see it once you open the matrix: here and there you have too much urgent or overdue tasks that you couldn’t figure out where to put. Indeed, a list view doesn’t enable you to quickly understand how to better re-organize the tasks, especially when you have to open each task to set a new status and priority. When you replace your task in the TaskCracker view, it automatically gets new priority and deadline so that the task list management takes the least possible time. This way, you can set something a part or figure it out what has been left a side when it needs to be done right now.

Visual Task Management

Visual task management itself is not a news, it’s been popular since lots of application appeared on the market recently. The only problem that we used to have is that it hasn’t been quite possible to adopt it to Outlook. With TaskCracker you can now use all of the benefits of visual task management without leaving the software interface.

Visual matrix gives a complete view on your activity. While list view only tells you how much you have to do, the visual view informs you of your prospects and your workload as it is spread over your week. It is not the same thing that a calendar view because the tree levels separate your tasks on the priority level.

Matrix view enables Urgent-Important technique implementation: urgent tasks need to be completed today, yet if they are not important, and you place them in the low-priority cell, the matrix itself tells you what exactly you should do first.

When applied to a better organized task list, the getting things done technique proves to be more productive: when you’re not completing tasks one by one, but you are completing only tasks that are specially selected to move you forward to your goals.

Summary

TaskCracker is probably the unique application nowadays that can be used for visual presentation of Outlook tasks inside Outlook. It doesn’t require any special settings and it works quickly. Its interface with color code and visual matrix doesn’t only look good, it helps you well to strategically plan your workload. I vote for this application.

TaskCracker visual task management helps focus your effort and see prospects through better strategic planning: all without leaving Outlook
