Hi James! The advantages of task management systems for online employees and even freelance professionals such as yourself are enormous and will definitely help you become motivated with work, finish tasks, and manage time efficiently. But with the myriad of choices readily available, reading articles and comparison on simple task management software for employees may not be enough for you to make an intelligent decision.

That said, I have prepared a list of three simple task management software for employees that carry the standard features that most organizations need. I believe these picks should be among your considerations once you are ready to make the choice.

#1 Remember The Milk

It’s free and it’s loaded. Remember The Milk, or as well commonly known as RTM, is one best no-cost task management system in the internet. Launched in 2004, this web based task management platform can be accessed from any device and is compatible with a lot of systems, including Android, IOS, Siri, Symbian, and has many options for integration services like Twitter, Google Calendar, and Gmail.

Among the functions it offers are task listing, task delegation, project documentation and sharing. You can also set tasks by priority and location. The only downside for RTM is that its user interface is not as simple as many of its contemporaries. But remember, sometimes it is not all about the looks.

#2 ToddleDo

It is like RTM, but so much better. Aside from its standard features, ToddleDo flaunts a project manager functionalities that allow users to closely track the length of time required to do and finish a particular project, multiple organizational forms, and built-in collaboration apps for individuals and groups.

A free version of ToddleDo is compatible with Android, Blackberry, and IOS platforms. A downloadable mobile app is worth $1.99. A pro option that brings premium features is available for $14.95 a year.

#3 Wunderlist

A very appealing interface, simple design, and easy to use, Wunderlist is very similar to ToddleDo and RTM, only visually pleasing. It boasts of an elegant look yet it does not compromise performance.

Performance wise, Wunderlist is superb. It syncs your devices and programs (provided they are all supported by Wunderlist), which means you can access your projects, look at reports, and track time and your team members from your mobile phone, laptop, and tablet almost anytime and from everywhere. You also get great stuff for the free versions, including simple collaboration tool, compatibility for several browsers such as FireFox, Internet Explorer, and Chrome.

A Pro version of Wunderlist is available for $4.99 a month. But you can expect that at such price, you are getting more than what you have paid for.

Conclusion

Like any other business decision you made and will make in the immediate and distant future, picking the right task management software should be a thorough process. Many things should be considered and a number of aspects should be included in the equation. Funds, return of investment, ease of use, and your own business goals should be among the things you should look at when selecting a software or system for your enterprise.
