“A task manager is software which enables users to
compile a list of tasks to be completed. This list is also known as
a to-do list or things-to-do. For the purposes of this article, the
term ‘task manager’ should not be confused with monitoring software
which provides information about programs and processes running on
a computer.“The list of activities that may form a to-do list include
chores, grocery lists, reminders for important events (such as
purchasing wedding presents or birthday gifts), self management,
software development, project / business management, and so on.
Task managers help to organise your day, ensuring that you know in
an instant what you need to do.“Linux has a large range of open source task managers, in part
because many of them have a limited feature set and hence are
relatively quick to code. This feature selects our personal
favorites, including both console based applications and software
sporting an attractive graphical user interface. There are also
many web based task managers available, which we will cover in a
forthcoming article.”
