A Task List That Helps You Schedule: Sorted(3)
Having a task list is only part of the productivity success formula. You also have to be able to set aside time to work on the tasks in order to complete them. A new version of iOS software recently released, promises to help with that.
At its very basic, Sorted(3) is a task manager that integrates with your calendar. It shows the events from you Calendar on the same screen as tasks from your Reminders.
That isn’t all it does, though. You can also “schedule” the tasks to fit in with your calendar by dragging them into place. It helpfully uses the duration you have set on the tasks to tell you when the task will be over. And if you really can’t decide, you can use the Autoschedule feature to have it assign your due tasks to open spots on your calendar, asking for default task duraction and buffer time between tasks.
Pros
- Intuitive interface, even with complicated functionality
- Scheduling tasks is a great help in managing your time.
- The Autoschedule is, well, magic.
- You can see your schedule and your due tasks in one place.
- Adding a task is as simple as pulling down on the screen.
- Completion goes back to the Reminders task
Cons
- Only works with built-in Calendar and Reminders list. I would like to be able to import from other task programs, even if the information didn’t flow the other way.
