Task List: Handy student app for tracking assignments
Merlin Mann | Jan 2 2007
Task List is a promising looking new app for students who want to track the tasks associated with homework and other assignments. As a former dysfunctional student, I like the way you can filter work by class, gauge progress on assigments, set priorities, and then track the results, such as the grade you received, etc. It also has support for "Classcasts," syncs with .Mac, and seems to work nicely with iCal. As with many tricked-out task apps, there's plenty of room for bogging down in the sort of fiddly meta-work that's more fun than, say, actually reading Bleak House, but this app is far from the worst attractive nuisance I've seen in that regard. Based on my 20 minutes of running through it yesterday, it looks like a useful application for managing the rat's nest of tasks standing between you and your sheepskin.
What are you organized Mac students out there using to keep it all together? 25 Comments
