According to the poll at the bottom of the article, Evernote is the favorite method, so I checked it out. It seems like a really useful program and I actually think I'm going to try it out. It's well laid out and looks easy to navigate. I don't currently have a perfect way of organizing my homework, crew calls, club meetings, activities, etc, so one of these programs may prove to be useful!
I have OneNote on my computer, and I've used it for projects a few times before. My favorite thing about it is that it essentially functions like a notebook, you can write anything anywhere on the page and organize into books then sections then pages... It is great for me because I'm a paper person, and this program is the closest I've found to working on a paper notebook. It's very versatile, and super convenient for planning a lot of different types of projects.
I have never really known how I have felt about these types of software. I absolutely love the idea of a computer system that allows for streamlined project management systems. But I still hold firm to the "You need to make a system that fits to your needs" method. These products often don't include all the elements you need as a project manager. Why not create a system using paperwork and communication that is exactly what you need it to be?
