I did it. I upgraded my MacBook Pro from OS X Snow Leopard to OS X Mountain Lion. With that upgrade, comes a revamped Spaces but Spaces nonetheless. In the previous (and first) “What’s in My Spaces” post, I looked at Spotify. But now I’m done procrastinating, and it is time to talk about iProcrastinate.
iProcrastinate is an app to keep you from procrastinating. The Mac and iOS app by Craig Otis is for task management. As a college student, I specifically use it to manage my homework assignments.
I can’t sing the praises of iProcrastinate enough. I have thought about trying other task management apps, but I am so content with iProcrastinate. And here is why:
iProcrastinate simply focuses on tasks and when they are due. When I create a new class (such as Technical Marketing Communication), I don’t have to input when Technical Marketing Communication meets or what days I have class. I can simply add the class, and then start adding assignments for that class right away, no questions asked.
iProcrastinate holds as much information for a task as I want and as little. I can add all sorts of information to assignments: the due date, the priority, notes, and completion status. I can also add different steps to a task: for example, writing a research paper includes several steps. But the beauty of iProcrastinate is that I can be as much of or as little of a power user as I want to be. The only information I have to give each task is its name and its due date. All the rest is optional – and I like optional.
iProcrastinate updates both my desktop version and iOS version via iCloud. As a new Mountain Lion user (and a new iOS 6 user as well), I am quickly becoming a fan of iCloud. And whenever I open iProcrastinate on either my MacBook or my iPod Touch, it makes sure any updates I’ve made in the other version show up. Score.
iProcrastinate has more features than this, too. If you haven’t tried it, give it a go. iProcrastinate may not keep me from procrastinating. But I’ll never procrastinate on using iProcrastinate.
What task management application do you use? Or do you prefer pen, paper, and a planner?
