In this episode, we’ll be diving deep and doing an in-depth feature comparison of task management options, talking about where the OmniFocus 3 beta fits, and introducing you to the AE task management hierarchy to help you pick the right task management system based on the features you need. Mat put together an incredible task manager comparison chart to help you sort the many options and find the one that has the exactly what you’re looking for. Well, that’s just what Dojo member Mat Rhein is here to help with. Wouldn’t it be great if you had someone who had tried them all and could guide you so that you could be sure the task management app you were about to spend your hard-earned money on has the right features for the way you work BEFORE you buy it and spend hours setting everything up? And moving everything over from system to system to see if it’s a good fit is incredibly time-consuming. That usually focusses their attention.How do you know which task manager is right for you? Task managers are great because they allow you to filter your available tasks and only display the ones that are appropriate right now, but the problem is there are so many to choose from. Instead I insist that we use professionally produced images with a licence for web usage and explain the potential $250,000 claims on images registered with the US Copyright Office. There are also times when I’ll shoot something myself, since I was a full-time photographer for many years.Īs a very simple rule of thumb, if a client is reluctant to spend a few dollars on images they will be a pain to deal with, so I don’t even try to appease them nowadays by suggesting options like Unsplash. Sometimes I’ll find an image from iStock if I need something really specific, but they generally work out more expensive. The images are licensed under my name, so that means I can also use them on other projects if needed. Their collection is massive so I can generally find what I need. At the end I bill clients for those images to ensure I make a profit and have invoices from Shutterstock with clear licence agreements. Nowadays I tend to take out a monthly subscription at Shutterstock without the auto renewal enabled and based on how many images I think will be required that month for ongoing client work. That was particularly vexing because the client had pots of money and was just being silly, but in the end I managed to ensure every image was properly licensed. I had another client who endlessly persisted in sending images he had simply grabbed off Google, Flickr or other websites and that became very tiresome having to explain a dozen times in writing that stealing images from the internet is a dumb idea. I documented it all at the time and later swapped them out for images from Shutterstock after explaining the potential issues. Not only did it take up many hours of my time for no financial gain, it also left me worried about exactly this kind of thing. I used Unsplash on one website early on, because the client was sending me horrendous images taken with her iPad and too cheap to spend a few dollars on licensed images.
