1. Trello
Trello is one of the most-used Kanban-style task systems in the world. It offers a simple interface, an easy way to make cards and assign individuals to unique tasks. Make checklists, use Power-Ups to repeat certain card functions and use them for personal or work.
Trello can be used creatively to assign chores to your children and get alerted when they check off an item from their list or simply to organize completed tasks in remote teams so everyone knows where the workflow is. The free Trello is available for iOS and Android.
2. ProofHub
ProofHub is another freemium app that lets you track your Kanban boards, custom workflows and even assign roles. It can be used to organize tasks and events for an individual, although it works great as a collaborative tool.
You can mention (@ people), chat and host discussions to bring everyone up to speed without hopping on a Zoom call. If you’re trying to improve workflow for yourself or your team, ProofHub is the way to go. The free ProofHub app is available for iOS and Android.
3. Calendly
Calendly was a startup that became a must-have app for almost any business. With Calendly, you can send your open availability and allow others to book sections of your time. It means they build your schedule with engagements (if you allow them to), so you aren’t spending time mixing a schedule.
You can also charge for your time. Consultants and professionals can make money by “hopping on a call real quick,” so they make the most of their time. The free Calendly app is available for iOS and Android.
