Kick Chaos to the Curb with a Group To Do List

Without the right tools, you could end up with everyone working on one task, while others are left untouched because they weren’t clearly assigned. Or people could be working on things in the wrong order, causing a project bottleneck. That’s why it’s important to keep everyone on the same page, collaborating happily all the way—with a simple, easy-to-use tool with plenty of communication features.

Fortunately, creating a good system doesn’t need to involve expensive tools or fancy methodology. It’s as simple as creating shared group to-do lists. Here’s what you can do:

Keep track of shared goals. Group lists keep everyone on the same page, allowing the team to work together to solve challenges and celebrate a job well done. Progress updates happen in real time as tasks are completed, so everyone has an ongoing sense of accomplishment as tasks are checked off the list.

Create clarity about who’s doing what. A shared to-do list means each person is clear on what’s assigned to them, what others are working on, and how every task ties into the common goal. As the project progresses, everyone has access to the updates at once.

Track progress of the whole group at once. Rather than piecing together individual updates in order to see your progress, a shared list makes it easy for you to track the progress of everyone involved—all in one place.

Balance and re-balance the workload. As new tasks pop up, having a shared list allows you to see who has extra time to take it on. It becomes easier to balance the workload evenly among the whole team and re-assign tasks as needed.
