  • Wunderlist for Writers
    Wunderlist For Writers How To Use The To-Do List Software For All Of Your Writing Projects Simon Whaley Copyright Copyright © 2016 by Simon Whaley All rights reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced in any form or by any electronic or mechanical means, including information storage and retrieval systems, without written permission from the author, except for the use of brief quotations in a book review. Wunderlist logo supplied and used by kind permission of Wunderlist, and its parent company, Microsoft. Preface Wunderlist was first released in 2011, as a cloud-based task management programme that could be accessed via a web browser or through dedicated apps for Windows, Apple and Linux computers. Since then, the company behind it, 6Wunderkinder, based in Berlin, has created versions for iOS (iPhone and iPad), Android, Kindle Fire, Chromebook and Windows phones and tablets. In July 2014, Wunderlist 3 was launched which enabled real-time syncing between devices. What this all means is that it’s now possible to access all of your to-do lists stored on Wunderlist wherever you are, whatever device you happen to have to hand. And it doesn’t matter if you’re not connected to the Internet at any particular time. Your device will simply synchronise its data with your online account the next time it can connect to the World Wide Web. So, when I’m out getting some fresh air and stretching my legs after being hunched up over the keyboard all morning and I suddenly realise there’s something I need to do on a project, but all I have with me is my mobile phone, I can still add the task via the app on the device as I think about it … even if there’s no mobile phone/Internet signal.

  • Using the Labels of Priorities, Specifications, and Affiliations When Working in Task Management Programs
    Using the Labels of Priorities, Specifications, and Affiliations when Working in Task Management Programs Felix Kasparinsky[0000-0002-1048-9212] MASTER-MULTIMEDIA Ltd, Entuziastov Shosse 98-3-274, Moscow 111531, Russia [email protected] Abstract. The article analyzes the specifics of the functional programs for managing strategic, tactical and operational tasks. A technique for prefixing op- erational task names with tactical labels of Priorities, Specifications and Affilia- tions is proposed. Label abbreviations are formed in such a way as to ensure the correct prioritization when sorting tasks in alphabetical order. The quadrants of the D.Eisenhower Priorities matrix are indicated by two-letter marks: important urgently (IF - Important, Fast); important indefinitely (IS - Important, Slow); not important, but promptly (UF - Unimportant, Fast): neither important nor ur- gent (US – Unimportant, Slow). The labels of the Specifications matrix for the information environment (RA, RI, SA, SI) are composed of mutually exclusive properties of the availability of the Network (I - Internet and A - Autonomous) and the presence of reduced or special functionality (R - Reduced and S - Spe- cial). Labels of the transport specification (TA, TB, TC, TP) allow you to sort tasks that require moving (T – Translocation) on an airplane (A), a bus (B), a car (C) and on foot (P - Pedestrian), respectively. Three-letter marks of Affilia- tions (belonging to an individual or legal entity) are formed from the first letters of the name, middle name and last name or name of the laboratory, company, project. Tactical marks accelerate decision-making when forming a daily list of operational tasks. Keywords: Task, Planning, Management, Priority, Specification, Affiliation, Label, Operational, Tactical.
