That productivity app I laughed at actually saved my job

I thought Trello was just for hipster project managers until my boss made the whole team use it for a big deadline 3 weeks ago. Seeing all my tasks laid out with due dates actually kept me from missing a critical client deliverable. Anyone else have a tool or method they dismissed at first that ended up being a lifesaver?

Ha, yeah I read some article about how people who swear by old school pen and paper end up caving when things get real. Not gonna lie I was the same way with Google Calendar. Thought it was just for scheduling haircuts until I started using it to block out workout prep and meal times. Seeing a full week of tasks laid out like that really keeps you from dropping the ball on the small stuff.

@jason752 Same here. I swore by sticky notes for years but switched when I started color coding my gym sessions and errands. Seeing it all together in blocks made me stick with it way more than paper ever did.
