To-do managers regulate appointments and tasks

Conclusions

The to-do managers discussed in this article cover a wide range of tasks (see Table 1 for an overview). If you need a plain old task manager without an automatic reminder function, BasKet, RedNotebook, or GTG. The first two stand out because they can also handle unstructured data.

Task Coach, on the other hand, focuses on professional time management and offers a reminder function and warnings to a large number of employees in the case of overlapping appointments. Makagiga serves users who need a complete virtual desktop for highly complex tasks and want to use different third-party sources.
