Every time I show a fellow colleague or friend Wunderlist, they always leave wowed by its simplicity and incredible power in organization and productivity. I came across Wunderlist last year in a particularly busy season. I was working as K-6 Curriculum Coordinator, implementing an iPad one to one trial and studying Gifted Education through the UNSW. I had so many juggling balls in the air I needed a tool to help me stay organized and focused on the jobs I needed to complete. Wuderlist has been the answer!
Here are five ways to be wowed by Wunderlist:
1. Sorting: Wunderslist is where I sort all my jobs, points of action and ideas. I create separate lists for key area of my life such as school, research, shopping and resources. Then inside each list I can add subtaks, notes, due dates and reminders.
2. Syncing: For me a useful app is one that syncs to all my devices. It needs to open on my laptop, iPad and iPhone with the most notes I’ve taken. Wunderlist does this beautifully. You just create an account and log in on each device. If you have a PC you can use the website instead of the app.
3. Sharing: One neat feature of Wunderlist is that you can share lists. If you have a colleague, friend or partner who you want to collaborate with, you can share the list with them and then both add ideas, thoughts and points of action. In a school setting this is incredibly useful.
4. Stars: For items that are a priority you can allocate a star to them. This means they go to the top of your list and then also collate in a starred list. This is very helpful for prioritizing jobs in a busy season.
5. Simplicity: This app is very intuitive. It requires little explanation and comes with a tutorial list to get you started.
