Hello everyone, welcome back to another video it is
Francesco here. Welcome back to the Keep Productive youtube channel, if you're brand new and if you are regular welcome back
So guys today's video is going to be dedicated to an application. That is just been released
It's called Method. I was very lucky to be a part of the beta testing for this one
I wanted to share a few of my opinions and thoughts because I was actually impressed with these simplicity
And the approach of this application. It's quite a healthy approach I think and it's something that
A lot of you guys might be interested in this application is being released on product hunt first
And it's going to be rolling out. It's currently only available on web. But the team
Dave it's part of the buffer team, which is pretty amazing. It's a little bit of a side project for him
So I'm really excited to be checking this one out
It's gonna be just a brief overview of it, but it will give you a good idea of how the application works
So as you can see here, this is the web version. I'm using Google Chrome
I'm just going to pin this tab here as you can see on the left-hand panel
we have something called backlog now bank lock essentially is for you to add all of your
Tasks to so let's add a few of them for the day
Maybe it's a finish
Evernote alternatives
Alternatives
Article that's one thing I need to do and what you can do straightaway is start adding some sub tasks
So I'm gonna add a few tumped sub subtasks
finish the list and then
finalize the article design and
Just below it
If I wanted to I could very simply add
In any notes that I wanted to and once I hit save as you can see it appears in this backlog section now
Let's add a few more tasks and then jump back into this. Okay. So here we are
I've added a few items on this left-hand backlog and as you can see in front of you you have today
So it's broken into three equal sections really you have bank loan on that left hand side you have today and you have this
calendar function which essentially pulls in your Google Calendar and the moment
I believe it's only Google Calendar that you can connect with and you can even refresh it to up in this top right hand corner
Now the great thing is once you've got this calendar working it will import some of your current calendar events
Which makes it really simplistic you can go over to this next day for example, Friday
I have driving lesson and have badminton
With Dan so I can see all of those good stuff there and as you can imagine that's very helpful
Now the magic is essentially comes in when you bring items in from your back lock so I actually do need to
Drag this one in to finish today. And as you can see here, it's been given a today
Item, so it stickable inside of here. You can if you want to move it back to backlog at any given point
but if you want to drag any tasks in you can do that if I want to click in and
Edit any of the checklist items or notes?
I can do that there. Now the awesome thing is if I want to really go in some detail I can drag it over to
This calendar here on this right-hand side, and I can actually change the time amounts
so I'm easily able to calendar block and I can remove that if I want move it to another time or
Actively move it up and down whilst I'm on it increasing the length or shortening the time
I can easily calendar blocked using my tasks and quite easily as well
I could take them off and get them done and they appear on your calendar like this
Which is very very nice
Now any given point argue to view complete tasks and see an outline of what I exactly I completed now
Let's add a few of the next couple of days
So the great thing is you can have all of these items appear here
And in this backlog you'll be able to see that this item appears here
So tomorrow I need to pick up tickets from the station
Although I haven't actually set a direct time for it
If I go over to next day you can see them
I've planned in their time here of planned bath trip and finalized contract client as someone items there
So almost essentially calendar blocked it moving down
I can also do this per day and I can even move it back to man clonk
and if I wanted to I could do lamp these so for example if I had some regular items that I wanted to
Routinely add in like finalize contract. I don't know why I'm doing this on the weekend. You can add it into be
Central today column or what it would be today. So it's a great way to plan ahead and coordinate your activities
now at any given point if I wanted to remove the bank long and be able to see it from this lovely view here you
Can do so and skipping ahead is quite easy. Although you can always go back to today using the tab to date app
So guys this is really simplistic
Method tries to essentially get you to focus on what's important over here on this left-hand panel, of course
You have the ability and tons of new items to your backlog
but again
It's important and you don't add too many because this will fill up fast and you'll be able to add that there
so it's important with this application to be clear and focused on your workload and I quite like the balance between
Simplistic application in terms of having your to dues in front of you for today combined with the calendar blocking
So that's something that looks really great
There are some applications that are alternative cities for example get plan
But I what I quite like and I think the unique approach to this application is the simplicity and the basicness of it
