Task management tools to blow your productivity through the roof
Ask any manager how his/her day begins, and more often than not you will get the answer — juggling between tasks, employees and managing them, which consumes the first half of their day.
When the first half is gone doing the assigning job, how much time do they actually have left for getting things done? Well, not much. This is the reason that most of the managers are found fighting the productivity battle,and spending more number of hours at work each day.
So, is there no solution to it? Yes, there is. And, that solution is task management tools and apps.
If you, as a manager, are looking for ways to end the troubles mentioned above, and to take your productivity through the roof, then here are some tools that are worth a shot -
ProofHub
ProofHub is a task management and project planning software that brings a lot in the platter for teams of all sizes. The native to do feature in ProofHub is simple to use with an amazingly neat interface. It has also got all the advanced features like sub tasks, recurring events, assign multiple people to a single task, option to set a start and end date, set time estimates, mark lists as private, and lots more. There is this Me-view that displays all the overdue tasks and the ones that are lined-up for the week ahead. So, you can manage your schedule without any hassle.
Plus, there is an amazing option to track time spent on each task either manually or by using the native timer app that you have in the tool. All in all, ProofHub can be looked upon as a complete task management tool that covers almost all the aspects to manage tasks and get them completed on time.

Google Keep
Anything with Google’s name attached to it is definitely going to capture the eye. Far from being just a simple task management app, Google Keep is an amazing option for people who are always on the run. Technically speaking it’s a syncing notepad where you can keep everything ranging from checklists, images, photos, voice notes as well as text notes. Everything is stored in the cloud, so you can access it anytime anywhere on a compatible device.
A big negative of the app earlier was that it wasn't available for iOS users. But, Google has launched Keep for apple users this year. Fast, flexible and easy to use, the app scores really high as far as usability is concerned. But, the lack of advanced features like sub-tasks, recurring tasks, and calendar view is where it lags behind competitors like ProofHub.
Any.Do
Any.Do is one of the contenders in the market that has been lurking around for quite some time to get the top spot as the most loved task management app. Some of the praiseworthy features that Any.Do brings along include recurring tasks, and location & time based reminders. Another unique feature that this app gives you is Moment, which gives you a snapshot of all the tasks you have lined up for the day.
It saves you from getting confused in the pool of dates, as it reflects tasks segregated as today, tomorrow and later. So you can easily keep an eye on what’s in store for you next, without getting lost in calendar and dates. A point worth mentioning here is that Any.Do is a mobile app and does not have its desktop counterparts. However, the app does have a chrome add-on, for people who like to manage their work using their desktops or portable computers.
Habitica
For those people who think simple is boring, Habitica is just the perfect way to manage their work life by adding some fun to it. The unique thing about Habitica is that it is one of the few task management apps that go beyond the usual tasks list interface and gamify the entire experience of task management. You can create your to-do lists and projects and convert into a game. As you complete the tasks in your projects, the character gets level up in the game. In fact, you also get rewards and loot points by defeating enemies i.e. doing things that you need to do in the project. Isn't that cool?
And, in case you fail to complete a task or miss a deadline, then your character cannot go further to the next level in the game and loses progress. This app is available for both desktop as well as mobile users (both iOS and android). If you are looking for a not so fancy, and simple task management tool, then Habitica is a must try! The best part is — it is absolutely free!
Those were some of the most feature-rich team task management software available in the market. This is not to say that the list is exclusive. You might find out plenty of other options as well. But, as far as effectiveness and feature-richness is concerned there are not many that give competition to the names listed above. Give them a shot, and see how they can help.
