    Rosemary O’Neill, president of Social Strata<\/a>, manages work, family and side projects in Producteev. <\/p>\n

    She came across Producteev by googling for apps to help her get things done. Five task managers were tested before she finally settled. The O’Neill party of 5 has now been using Producteev for six weeks and has decided that it is the productivity tool for them. <\/p>\n

    “I am all in!” Rosemary shares, “The most important thing about Producteev is being able to switch between the list view and calendar view. This helps me organize my tasks on any given day.”<\/p>\n

    Separate workspaces are also used, which are categorized into her day-to-day activities (both work and family), and special projects. It’s actually pretty smart so that her calendar – with daily responsibilities – can be in one place.<\/p>\n

    Context labels make the to-do list more manageable. As community manager of Social Strata<\/a>, Rosemary is in charge of social media and customer support\/relations. This spectrum of duties is entered using the web app. “I kinda appreciate being nagged when it’s time for me to do a blog update,” she reveals.<\/p>\n

    As far as her workflow and completing to-dos are concerned, Rosemary sets deadlines using the SCHEDULE IT feature. Any unscheduled tasks are then addressed by priority. <\/p>\n

    Rather than heavy processing of tasks (Covey method etc.), she finds this method simpler and easier to work with. In effect, Rosemary spends less time thinking about what it is she has to do and more time checking off the many items on her list. Producteev’s filters help do some of the task processing work for her, and the sort by feature has been a real lifesaver.<\/p>\n

    In addition, she and her husband, Ted, make the most of their Seattle commute by dropping tasks into the Producteev iphone app<\/a>. “It’s mentally freeing for me to be able to pop tasks right in there.”  <\/p>\n

    Finally, to manage her hectic schedule as a busy mom, Rosemary reminds herself to do school-related tasks for her three young children on Producteev. “I can remember to bring cupcakes on Thursday,” for instance, “and I like that Producteev emails me the day before with a reminder!”<\/p>\n
