Matthew Moran at ITTtoolbox finds Zoho Planner so useful that he first had a blog post titled, "The Joy of ZOHO Planner - shared todo lists, tasks, and collaboration...". He then followed it up with a cool video showing how he uses Zoho Planner. From his post,
I have also been playing around a lot with ZOHO's suite of applications. I'll be covering these in more detail over the next few weeks. Suffice to say, their documents are more full-featured and have a better interface than google - hands down.
Zoho Planner allows us [Matt & his wife Laura] to have our own tasks page or pages. We can then share a page or pages of tasks with someone else - giving them read only or read/write access to the page.
I setup a page called Laura's Shared Tasks and one called Matt's Shared Tasks. I gave Laura read/write access to both.
Laura can then add tasks, appointments, and notes to my page and to her page. I can see them, I can add tasks, and I can add notes. It does a couple of things. First, she and I both have a place to add tasks to the other person - and notes with greater detail if needed.
Second, we can see the tasks we've added in context of other tasks and appointments they (the other person) has due. It helps us know two things - one that the other person has the tasks on their list and two that our tasks to them are not the only things they must do.
And here is Matt's nice video where he explains Zoho in general followed by a tutorial on how he emails tasks (to-dos) & notes to his Zoho Planner account.
Thanks, Matt! Now, to the readers of this blog - do tell us how you are using Zoho Planner.
