![]() Maybe it's for the best? While Bossy has a superficial similarity to the Nest Thermostat, the orange dot in its center looks eerily like HAL 9000. De Antonio is starting to work towards a prototype using Arduino components and he is keenly aware that he'll need to assemble a crack team of engineers and manufacturing experts before he could kickstart the project. Wunderlist was a free, open source, cross platform application that can be used for task management and list making. Whatever its potential, Bossy only exists as a conceptual model at the moment. This white puck is simply the white collar edition and could usher in a new era of Taylorism in offices. This concept merely supercharges the product category combining the best of bits and atoms.īossy looks and works a lot like Nest, but it's closest cousin might be the wristbands that direct Amazon's warehouse workers every move and track their efficiency. The concept of sticky notes is so durable the Adobe and Apple both make it a core part of their tools to this day. While physical organization aids aren't new, a mosaic of Post-it notes have kept many projects on task and a system of 43 manilla folders helps keep plenty of lifehackers organized. Most software tools make users explicitly search for tasks in a given context, but a dedicated hardware device can intrinsically distinguish home task from work projects. Essentially, certain kinds of work can best be done in certain spaces. Context is a critical component of David Allen's Getting Things Done system, which has in turn inspired many other productivity gurus.

De Antonio's primary skillset is design and all the hardware and software engineering underlying Bossy is still TBD. ![]() This entry was posted in Getting organised, Web 2.0 tools and tagged Lists, todo, wunderlist by Cam Hocking. ![]() And you’ll get almost the same feeling of satisfaction clicking that little check box as you do crossing off an item on your handwritten lists.įor a guide to getting started and managing lists, watch our screencast below (Best viewed in full screen 2.42 minutes). While some people will still feel that the best list management tool is a pen and paper, we find that being able to set alarms on tasks within Wunderlist helps us stay organised. The developers have also released a more comprehensive shared project management tool called Wunderkit which we’ll explore in a future post. If you love pen and paper you can print off your lists and you can share a list via email for others to contribute to your projects. As soon as you check off a task it will be greyed out, then later it will disappear from view to keep your lists tidy. One great feature of Wunderlist is the ability to create a number of different lists, so you can view tasks based on one project or see all of your upcoming tasks in your inbox. You can also keep track of tasks by setting importance or due dates. It synchronises seamlessly across all of your devices, so lists can be created on your computer and then checked off on your phone. Wunderlist is available for free on Mac and PC as well as a wide range of mobile platforms. There are plenty of to-do list managers out there but our favourite service is Wunderlist. ![]() We’re big fans of any tools that help us stay organised here at Bright Ideas. ![]()
