Why You Should Stop Using Email to Manage Tasks

Using email to manage tasks is neither efficient nor responsible. It is important to separate email from task management to avoid spending time searching through email and gaining more time to actually work on projects. Technology has come a long way since keeping lists in an Excel file and emailing that around the office. Cloud-based project management tools can capture all essential tasks in one place and allow for task listing in order of priority. This eliminates interruptions and the possibility of missing crucial information. Project managers can also monitor the progress of all tasks and reassign when appropriate or discuss any issues before the entire project is negatively impacted. Enterprises need to implement a systematic task management workflow in order to effectively manage time, resources and costs.
