Attention web developers!
Are you tired of feeling sluggish and disorganized?
Do you ever feel like juggling too many tasks and struggling to stay on top of everything? If so, you’re not alone! In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and lose track of important tasks.
But don’t worry. You can take control of your day and become a productivity powerhouse with a task manager. Turn your to-do list into a DONE list, and start walking the walk!
Today, we’ll look at the top task manager apps to help you keep organized, achieve productivity and reach your goals.
@NotionHQ is my go-to place for staying organized and on track.
With its powerful customization options, I’ve built a system that includes quarterly, monthly, weekly planning, and daily focus. It is an extremely powerful tool for productivity, organization, and PKM.
Following is a screenshot of my Notion system.

I’ve tried a lot of productivity tools over the years and selected Notion.
It’s crucial to find a tool that fits your working style. That’s why I recommend trying Notion, Tana, Todoist, Things3, Trello, and Microsoft ToDo.
Let’s dive in and find the perfect fit for you!
@tana_inc is the newest tool for managing tasks and personal knowledge.
Tana’s secret weapon is their extremely powerful super tags. I moved my Workflowy to Tana, and I LOVED IT.
But I felt limited in long-form writing & it dies without the internet

@culturedcode is a compelling, simple, but mighty app.
I was using Things3 before trying Tana & Notion. It was recommended by the people I admire, such as Tiago Forte, Peter Akkies and Francesco.
Its limitations, you can’t share tasks with others.

@todoist is the most comprehensive task management system I used.
I liked it so much that I paid for the pro version. It had nicely crafted Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Filters & Labels. It works well with GTD. You can share tasks with other people.
But it felt techie.

@trello is a free and lightweight app.
Trello has almost zero learning curve. They were the first to introduce a Kanban-style board. But it was not enough to handle complex projects with many sub-tasks.
I created a life journey map using it

@MicrosoftToDo: Works well with the Microsoft ecosystem.
A solid option if you are using Office 365 apps. At my work, we use it for a few projects that involve multiple teams. It is an excellent choice for your personal task management.

That’s a wrap.
Remember, a robust productivity system includes more than just a task manager.
It also involves building a second brain, establishing daily routines, adjusting your behavior, setting goals, and continuously improving.
These tools will hopefully get you started!
We’re currently going through a series that focuses on building a productivity system to help increase your clarity and overall productivity.

Hello Reader, Last week, I came off an intense stretch of focused work. I call it extreme momentum. It’s the kind of mode where I move fast, ship hard, and almost forget to breathe. But when it ends? I crash. Not energy-wise — system-wise. Because during those bursts, I stop updating my tools. No OmniFocus. No Notion. Just building. And when I finally slow down, I’m staring at a mess: Outdated tasks Random notes & ideas Disconnected logs of what I did A system that no longer reflects my...
