For task management, I have been using Todoist for daily workload but just added Trello and I'm liking the combination. Trello essentially lets you create multiple whiteboards for each project (mine are - ideas, to-do, working and completed) and move items from one to the next. For a project with stages, Trello lets me see at a glance where I am plus the ideas board lets me write down all of my random thoughts and ideas before I forget them and then decide later if they are at all reasonable and where they should go in the project plans.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Ran into some extra money so I bought an Apple Watch. I'm in the store getting it set up now.
I got one a few weeks ago and I'm really liking it.
So I set up my Apple Watch to give me health alerts, such as telling me to stand up at least once every hour. Today I was sitting on the toilet when it vibrated and chirped and said, "Stand Up now!" I was all, "Dude, let me wipe first!"
The new iPad Pro looks pretty sweet but I so don't need one. Looks like it'd be great for graphics professionals.
I so would love a new ipad, my OG one is pretty long in the tooth. But that's going to have to wait until finances calm down. Maybe in a year.
I think I need a new Apple TV.
They just got me an iPad for my theatre job, and I am afraid I am going to hate it. I need it to shop online and to make spreadsheets, and I feel like it is not best suited to that. They did get me a keyboard.
Do you guys think it will be OK? I have typed things on my kindle and my iphone and I HATE IT for spreadsheets.
Will you be using Numbers for the spreadsheets or Excel? I have used Numbers some on the iPad and it's okay, has some adaptations that make it not so terrible. Excel I have not tried.
Google Sheets or Excel. I do a lot of typeing of words, and only minor formulas, but I connect things throughout sheets to make various lists (costumes by character, costumes by scene, costumes by laundry instructions, and budgeting) without retyping the same info 100 million times.
Yeah, I don't know, I haven't edited those types of spreadsheets on my iPad, only viewed. I don't love typing on it, but a keyboard would probably make a big difference.
