Doit.im taskmanagement

Posted on 3 December, 2009

Doit.im is a Adobe Air application to manage your tasks. First I wrote down my tasks on paper and after that

I tried some task apps like Remember the Milk. Now I’m using Doit.im and I am loving it.

Doit.im can be installed on multiple desktops and it synchronizes very well!

- tasks

Create a task in the inbox and drag it to a category like today, tomorrow or someday!

At the bottom of the application you can add a new task. Add a title, tags and description.

In the application you can also create projects. Tasks can be easily dragged into a project.

So for freelancers this can be a great project management tool!

When tasks are completed they can be archived to easily find them back if you want to.

Deleted tasks end up in the trash and can be tracked down when you want to.

- Schedule

To schedule a task is very easy, just double click on on a task and click on the date.

There will pop out a calender. Simply select the date you want. You can also set an alarm

if you have an important task to complete in time.

- collaberation

A very nice feature is that you can forward a task. This only works if the person you forward to has a Doit.im account too.

When the other user/colleague receives the task he can finish the task and it will synchronize with my account.

All my colleagues are currently working with Doit.im, so that is very nice!

- Other Apps

You can connect Doit.im with Google Calender and I’m a Google user (Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Adwords, Analytics etc.),

so this is really helpful. And if you set an alarm on a task, it will show up on the correct time in Google Calender

Besides that Doit.im has an Android app and there will come an iPhone app soon.

I haven’t been able to check out the Android app yet.

- Download

Before you start slicing

Posted on 20 November, 2009

In the past few years I experienced the problem that I had to reinvent the wheel on every website. This post will help you starting to slice your website design in a consistent way and use it again on future projects.

To start, I have a basic folder for slicing a website. So every time I am going to slice a new design I just copy this folder, rename it and start immediately. Occasionally I adjust this folder because of new techniques and stuff. This is important, because using for example outdated JS files can be very frustrating for you or the programmer on the project. I am not teaching HTML and CSS here, I expect you to know basic HTML and CSS!

Organize yourself

Posted on 10 November, 2009

Get motivated and organized to become a better designer. That is what this blog is about. A blog to help you out with your work. Think of inspiration, freebies, resources, posts about photoshop, organizing, front end web development and processes. I’m Aljan Scholtens and lets start with some organizing tips!

As a designer I need to organize myself. If I don’t, I will get stressed and forget things. In my life as designer and entrepreneur I need to be organized, so this is a small list of things that keep me organized. Maybe it can help you out too.
