LeaderTask

It's a busy world out there, and we're a part of it. Organizing your schedule to prioritize what's most relevant to you is a necessary skill these days, and the newfound overall interest in scheduling and to-do apps stands to prove that more and more people are looking to be more efficient with their planning.

Solutions are available for all manner of devices, so it's only natural that people would want to have something like that on their desktop. LeaderTask is a program that seeks to help users with their schedule, granting them several functions to plan everything accordingly.

What awaits you is an interface that could best be described as "compact". It's quite easy to navigate through it, but what's especially noteworthy is that you essentially have most functions within arm's reach. For instance, you have a small panel with the calendar, one for your projects, another for your tasks, and a different one with the memos for the current day.

Users will certainly appreciate this efficient use of space, as you can go through your schedule, see the latest developments on your projects, and what else is up for today, all on the same screen.

In this app category, Projects is not a new feature in the slightest. But its implementation here is quite good: creating a project is akin to setting an overarching goal for the future, where you'll be able to note down everything leading up to it. Whether it is memos, meetings, or listing things to help you on your journey, it's all here, under one interface.

Boards make for a bit of an interesting addition: add a stage, and some relevant cards for it. These can work especially well in collaborative endeavors, as users are able to cooperate with their peers, and brainstorm the best courses of action. Though the Free version restricts users from fully utilizing Boards (you're not able able to collaborate, add attachments, covers, and so on), it's still a nice addition.

LeaderTask is an app worth considering if you want to start taking planning more seriously: it gives you the tools to be more efficient with your time, so the onus is on you.
