I currently have 3 systems that I have active projects and tasks running inside (Connectwise, Basecamp, and Asana). My favorite of the three is Asana and I wish everything was inside of it but for the time being I’m sort of married to these other systems. Anyone that knows me knows that I’m pretty critical when it comes to project management tools, especially SaaS tools that offer you millions of features that you’ll never need but won’t connect to Google Calendar? It blows my mind…
Anyway, I ran across an app / web service this morning that’s very similar to something I’ve had tucked away for a while as a potential start-up down the road, it’s called Krumplr. What it does is pretty awesome, it allows me to connect third party tools that I’m currently using like Gmail, Evernote, Asana, etc., and it brings all of my tasks into one convenient app. The interface is pretty intuitive and it doesn’t take but a few minutes to setup. You can’t control where your to-dos come from. But with Krumplr, you can bring them together so you can prioritize, schedule, and track them all in one place. This is a genius idea, I have no idea why someone hasn’t done this sooner (or maybe they have and I’ve totally missed it –if so, let me know because I’d like to checkout anything that’s similar).
