Want to get organized? Want to win $200 Cash? Both?
I have no scientific data to prove it, but I’d bet that in a list of most popular New Year’s Resolutions, “Getting Organized” would rank pretty close to “Losing Weight”. It certainly did on my list.
Is getting more organized one of your goals for 2009?
A huge goal of mine this year is to more effectively manage my projects and keep my task list more organized. And I’m excited because I’m already well on my way.
As a work-at-home mom with two online stores, a network of blogs, and two new exciting websites in the works, it’s clear that I need some effective software to organize and manage my business, my family and my life.
But in my previous life as a software developer in the business consulting world, I spent far too much time updating Microsoft Project schedules. And I miss MS Project about as much as I miss the inhumane overcrowding of the morning commuter trains.
I’m an entrepreneur. I like to see new opportunities and create exciting projects. Sure, those projects need to be ‘managed’, but I don’t want my whole day spent dirty in the depths of MS Project.
It’s been six years since I rode a commuter train and I haven’t opened an MS Project file since.
No, I need a mobile, quick and easy, Web 2.0 app that I and my ever-growing team of work-at-home moms can launch on whatever desktop, laptop or iPhone we have with us at the moment.
As a work-at-home mom, I’m constantly juggling between my desktop, laptop and iPhone, so I need my tasks stored online.
And I can’t force my team members to struggle with the complexities of MS Project or another similar monster application.
So when I heard of an iPhone compatible application called Task2Gather, I was intrigued. It’s a free online service for task and project management that requires no training.
I soon discovered Task2Gather is perfect for me as a mom as well as a business woman.
With Task2Gather I can manage work projects as well as create personal tasks for my shopping lists, household chores and family responsibilities. I can share and assign tasks to teammates and to my dear hubby — those who don’t have iPhones simply use the web-based version.
After I hopped over to the iPhone app store and for 99 cents downloaded it, I started adding tasks.
It is dead easy to use.
On my iPhone, I immediately began creating projects with tasks and subtasks. I then went to the website and signed in to the full online version. I easily invited new participants to my projects, and assigned them to tasks.
My team and I are thrilled and thankful to have discovered Task2Gather. It’s simple, yet powerful. And, it’s basically free.
The iPhone download is currently only $0.99 and the basic online application is free to use. I believe they will soon also offer a paid subscription with advanced features such as reporting, attaching files and more.
Since Task2Gather is a new application that is perfect for moms and business women, the developers asked us to get your feedback. So, for a chance to win $200 cash, you can sign up for FREE at Task2Gather and test it out.
Then come back here and leave us a comment telling us what you like and what improvements you’d suggest.
If you have an iPhone, you’ll love that you can download the iPhone app for only $0.99 and manage your tasks on the go. (Testing the iPhone application is not required to enter the contest. The only requirement for entering the contest is that you test out the free online version.)

I don’t have an Iphone, but when I get one
I will try this out.
It’s pretty cool but I have an organizer on my phone which is a little less confusing. It is a good concept though. I think with some changes it can be awesome.

I also get the newsletter. Thanks!
Get organized? That really sounds stressful.
I could get so organized with $200. Look out Container store here I come.
Sure could use this prize, I’m a organized person still trying to get family to be.
Thank you
awesome organization tool!
Organization reduces stress which is often my biggest trigger in weight gain.
Very cool. Maybe have a flash demo or something at the beginning. Its pretty intuitive after looking at the screen but it was a little confusing at first.
I could use some extra cash.
I don’t know I think it is just easier to write a list.
great prize.
It’s pretty simple and easy to use but I’m on the go a lot and I don’t have an iphone so that part isn’t usable for me. I’m not sure I would like having to go back to the computer so frequently although once it is in place it might be less bothersome.
count me in
I love it
Like some of the other posters, I had trouble figuring it out. I wish there was an online video instruction manual. I still have no clue how to add participants and I must be missing it.
I like that you can change the colors and assign tasks by participant. I saw there is an email function and I’d love that. I use AOL calendar now for appointments and I always email myself a reminder for doctor’s appointments or functions at my daughter’s school. That’s an invaluable tool for me and it would be great to also email reminders to my husband.

I see a lot of uses for it. I think with a little more time, I would be able to see myself using it a lot more.
it is a bit confusing, especially for someone like me who has no idea what i’m doing most of the time. It would be cool to have a video tutorial, those are always super helpful, watching someone else do it always helps!
However, if i ever did learn how to use it, it looks like just the kind of thing i need, i can never stay on track with time management and this looks like it would help me out!

It’s fast and easy, but you can use Outlook just as simply without having to download.
Thank you for this opportunity!
Love it, do they have a task 2 gather for a laptop as well since i use my laptop EVERYWHERE?
I did not like it.
Too confusing.
I dont like it much either. I have microsoft Works and it has a planner on it. You cen set up reminder on it. I like it better. I would probably like it more if I played around on it some more. but I have way to many things to transfer from one to the other. But is a good idea
I found Task2Gather very easy to use and liked the various features it offers. I can’t think of any suggestions for improvements.
