Hello,
Does anyone have any recommendations for a task management app, please?
I bought a boat a year ago, and can't keep a track of all the work that needs
doing and the things that need fixing.
I took a look at To Do apps for my Mac a while back but they all seemed to
focus more on the formatting of the list (what font to use and what kind of
bullet points), rather than the actual tasks.
I'd like something that tracks dependencies - that I need to order this part
before I can complete that task, to divide jobs that can be completed now from
those that need something else doing first.
A big tracker is the application I'm most familiar with that handles this kind
of stuff, but it seems a lot to install for a single person - I guess a
complete SQL database and web-server would be amongst the dependencies.
I'd appreciate any thoughts,
Stroller.
Hi Stroller,
As a nautical type, much would depend on the size of the boat. But there
are tricks::
1. Keep a multi-sheet notepad with the boat, so you can scribble down
notes, ideas and todo items. Later, you can take that tablet, type it up
and keep a copy with the boat, for further/deeper annotation.
2. Never smoke in, near or around the boat, unless it is diesel. A few
signs to such is always a good idea. Smoking back at the keyboard, is
usually OK.
3. USE the dam thing, so you can remember why you started pumping lots
of cash into it. Mine, I have keg parties, with the keg & ice inside the
boat, so the boat receives lots of love from you friends. Quite often,
this is the best use of a boat, regardless if trailered or tied up to a
doc or wherever.
4. Dual batteries are a necessity: one of cranking and one to run the
supervisory electronics that ensures the perfect (or close to it)
temperature for the beer....
5. Almost forgot, if you do intend to actually use the boat, insurance
is a must, both for sinking and liabilities...
6. GNUcash is a great app for all things financial, particulary if you
use the boat for business and want to track expenses and make your
accountant happy. Big boats are easy to include with a C or S corp and
save you big in expenses
hth,
James
