so today's video we're diving into five to-do list applications making waves in the space right now
what we're doing is diving into these new applications and have a different
take on to-do list experiences and what we'll be doing is sharing how they work
maybe giving you a few early opinions and also giving them some insight into how you
could potentially use them these are applications that are fairly new so we'll have a timestamp if
you want to skip ahead to specific sections and all of the relevant websites that will be listed
below so before we begin folks we're sponsored by pipedrive you can check pipedrive out below we've
got a great deal with them but here is a little bit more about them before we begin this video no
matter how much experience you have selling your product pipedrive will make it easier bringing you
better more engaged leads 24 7 so you can focus on the right people at the right time and convert
them to deals in your sales pipelines which can be fully customized to visualize your process every
call and email are automatically tracked and say goodbye to repetitive tasks like sending routine
follow-up emails workflow automation can do it all which frees up time to gather insights and measure
performance against set goals no matter where you are pipedrive designed to keep you selling
so when it comes to new to-do list applications in 2021 there's a few newer options and i want
to start by introducing a different type of to do this application which is rearing its
head most recently and i would call this a consolidation to do this application we're
mentioning the first two that sort of fall under that category but uh one is very much a team tool
and the other is very much a personal tool however we'll explain how they work now so the first one
in the list is called friday yes you've heard it we've got monday.com we've got friday now there's
probably a space in the in the productivity area for wednesday thursday and tuesday app developers
but friday is essentially a more focused team tool that allows you to bring your tasks and
meetings together in the planner now it's really interesting as a concept because you are met with
a planner in the experience to organize your own week but you also have a way to collaborate
with other people on things like routines goals and also the feed so you and your team can keep
updated at how other people are working you can also create meeting notes it's quite a diverse
application when it comes to productivity but a very interesting one at that but we're gonna focus
on that core planner concept inside of friday the planner concept itself is really cool so you're
met with all of your sort of work activities you can connect things like your google calendar your
slack your asana todoist trello outlook whatever you specifically use as your sort of calendar and
tasks and what will happen is you can start seeing some of the tasks in there and in friday you can
basically start adding them to your day you can add things like routines that commonly happen for
example could be daily stand-up or some you know routine sessions that you may create like book
reviews that you may do at set time period but it also allows you to add focus time too you can help
plan your goals and also your tasks and the good thing is it keeps it updated so it's always in
sync with your to-do list applications of choice so this is what i mean by consolidator application
very cool in terms of bringing in that information without you having to go to all these separate
applications which might be suitable if you say use to do this for your personal
trailer for your work and maybe asana for another team that you work with or an external client very
cool concept and very new and fresh but they have some team abilities so this one is free for solo
use to use however they do have a pro plan for team members at six dollars per person per month
which if you're using this as tasks it could be a good starting hub for that so number two is a
bit more detailed this is an application called accuflo now i want to touch on the pricing first
because it's a little bit more premium than you would expect it's free forever they do have the
ability to add four integrations and one calendar but it basically doesn't allow you to share time
or see time zones but that is just to get you sort of started on the on the plan but if you
did want to commit 15 per month so much more of a more premium application you do get 14 days free
trial if you want to check it out and this app is available through mac and windows and i've skipped
past what it actually does this application essentially brings your tasks together with
your calendar events much like the application we just checked out however this is done in i would
say a bit more of a structured manner in in my opinion i think friday's more for teams this is
more for solo users essentially you can see on the sidebar all of your sort of today items that are
coming in from different applications for example could be todoist slack messages the chrome places
that you've clipped so you can have integrations raring for different applications you can have one
from asana for example and then what you can do is you can have your calendar on the right hand side
which is really cool but you can start connecting up for example dragging a task when you want
to do it in the calendar and start seeing them against your specific pieces at work it's quite
an interesting concept because again consolidating information and helping you to keep on track they
have a really cool like mac menu bar feature where if you do have a meeting coming up you can
automatically join in the call and they also have what superhuman has a really solid command
bar which allows you to do things like shortcuts that for example if you wanted to type a task in
you could start planning it automatically saving you a bit of time if you learnt that concept so
it really does sort of promote the time blocking concepts in these applications but i thought i'd
draw attention to this because it's quite a new application but one that is quite interesting and
hopefully i should be doing a full review on it soon so next up number three is planning five now
if you're someone who has already checked out applications like this this is sort of a bit like
sorted three things three design style application it's available for ios and mac but essentially
it's already in its fifth edition they've had four or five years worth of development of this
application and this app helps you to do very simple things like completely daily to-do's plan
your day intelligently using one of their sort of analysis of what tasks you've got and it brings
it in very interesting and also plan ahead with projects and activities this is more of a i would
say in between things three and uh reminders as a sort of mid-level application it's priced at a
fairly reasonable 14.99 per year so not per month per year which is fairly reasonable and planning
five is seems to be growing in the attention as they you know do more and more releases so next up
is actually one that's not officially released yet this one is actually from the folk at thunderlist
superlist is aiming to build the future of to do's and it's been hinted for probably about
i think about two years now since the team left vanderlust however they're aiming to do a tool
that's built for teams but made for people so sort of like to do this for teams one that is
focused on you to help you know for example you structure your day that's uh a bit differently
because obviously everyone's different in your team also private by design in an effort to try
and keep your data secure and safe and highly collaborative for those who work synchronously
and asynchronously as well as embedding routines so the application is actually developed by the
founders of vunderlist so you're going to get a couple of folks who are there from vandalist to
you know christian rabbit for example already been at pitch so um he's created another company called
pitch and you've got other team members like brandon arnold marcel k ding stefan kierdell
a very interesting project in terms of what it could offer in the future and i think it will
be more of the premium end of the productivity uh to do the stock market so finally number five is
one that you probably will be very familiar with evernote have recently released tasks allowing
you to add your tasks in evernote and add due dates reminders and also view them in a new tasks
area inside of your sidebar so great addition by evernote something they really should have added
a long time ago but something they finally added now allowing you to manage your tasks so i guess
to-do list this new to-do list is evernote which is weird to say so they do have a new function
that really replicates some and the majority of features that you'll see inside of things
like reminders applications anyway folks i really hope you enjoyed today's feature
let me know which one you're most excited for if you're excited for them i think apps like
accuflo and friday will be an interesting concept as we move forward in the future
it's really weird adding this layer on top of applications you might already use but if it
promotes a stronger methodology and framework to the way you work then i think people are more
willing to invest in it just for the sheer fact that it promotes that sort of quality
and improvement to the way that you work anyway folks a big thank you if you'd like
to subscribe it'd be great to have you but i look forward to you um checking all of these out and
seeing some of your comments below anyway guys thank you very much and i'll talk to you soon
cheerio
you
