I made a suggestion that would help me and others. I knew it was easily achievable as I understand the tech. I even asked for something that I thought would be an improvement. I heavily use keyboard shortcuts to create tasks N, subtasks S, change date D, edit E, notes N, arrows to reorder. I can also have a project as a plain queue, with subtasks that I work out the process and work through each stage. I can create a smart queue where all my items are grouped by their tags (priority) and sorted by their date (I use this as a action or review date, not a do by date) and filter out any future dates, leading to a zero list occasionally. I have evolved into several different ways to use its power. At first you will be struck by the lack of a methodology.
While trying so many types from paper to excel to so many apps, I found Gqueues. GTD methodology modified for a high amount of small jobs and long multistep projects with tiny steps.
My problems occur when I go off system for some distraction problem, and my problems go away when I put them into my system in Gqueues. Once I had a need for smart queues, I now can't operate without them. I swore that smart queues were stupid and useless. I've found that the way I use gqueues has changed over the years.
Keeping them in order (using tags for priority and where/context) and ensuring everything goes through efficiently trusting the system. My challenge is catching all the little tasks that fire at me continuously. But right now, our process is still working beautifully as is manually moving tasks around. I would love to see an automation feature that would allow us to mark a task complete, and move it to another folder automatically. Every day we're learning a new way we can implement this product to improve our work flow. Everyone can include notes and updates to keep everyone on the same page. We're able to quickly enter projects, assign tasks and maintain our schedule for a business that is constantly changing. We absolutely love the ease of task management with GQs. Everything is at our fingertips with GQueues. No more forgotten tasks that need to be done quarterly, no more having to track employees down to see if something had been done, or when. Once we had that part implemented, it quickly became apparent how it would improve our work flow in other areas of our farm.
We chose it as a solution to move our daily customer order schedule from a paper clipboard to online so that multiple people could access it, review and make changes if necessary. We're using GQueues on our small sod farm.
