![]() That’s it.Īnd if I have trouble finding a particular project or prefer to have an “ordered list” I can switch to the “alphabetical order” of the project list. Projects on the top of the list have higher priorities. I prefer just to re-organize projects with drag-and-drop in Nozbe. Adding priorities to projects or tasks feels like over-complicating the picture. Even though I have around 50 active projects, I can see only 5-10 of them at a time, depending on the label. With labels I can filter the list of projects I want to see at each point in time. Labeling projects helps me maintain focus - something we talked about in Step 1. My “Blog” project can be filed under “Nozbe” label if it’s a Nozbe blog as well as a “Writing” label that groups all my writing activities. ![]() Some of my projects have several labels, others have only one. This is why in Nozbe we have project labels that group projects together. I prefer to have similar projects on the side rather than sub-projects. Nothing is set in stone, as the tasks get done, many projects change and morph… and tasks migrate. ![]() With today’s technology and apps like Nozbe, I can move tasks, notes and files between projects easily (with few clicks) and I do it very often. Following the example with the “Nozbe” projects I have more than 20 projects associated with Nozbe these days. With more projects I see all of my pending activities at one glance. Contrary to what you might think, more projects means more transparency. The thing is, I’d rather have more projects than less. With the amount of different type of activities my application has created, I had to split this project into “Nozbe development”, “Nozbe marketing”, and many more… When I started creating Nozbe it was also my only project on my list. I keep the names of my projects short, yet try to make them as descriptive as possible. I often start with a task and later “escalate it” to a project. Very often I convert a task to a project when I see it becoming bigger and more important and requiring at least two or three steps. That’s why if something requires more steps, make it a project and divide it into small, manageable tasks. It’s easy to fall into the trap of adding a project as one task… and the task in our eyes becomes huge and unmanageable. Here’s a list of possible projects: - “Birthday for my brother” - all the tasks that require organizing a birthday party - “Presentation for a meeting” - things to prepare like: outline, sketch, slides, clipart, and more. We are all Project Managers as we manage our day-to-day tasks and projects of our lives.Īnything that requires more than one thing to do is a project. We tend to think Project Managers are the guys who manage big investments, take-overs or big deals. Like it or not, you will become a Project Manager.
