I explain how Microsoft Planner is a useful tool for a group to work together as a team in a\u00a0previous post, “What is Microsoft Planner Used For?<\/a>”<\/p>\n

I pointed out at the end of the post that my post\u00a0was purposely worded to state what Planner is and is not designed<\/span> for.<\/p>\n

Why: \u00a0Just because Planner may be designed as a tool for a group to collaborate, it actually has some great applications for the individual!<\/p>\n

Here’s my story of\u00a0how I use Planner to organize my task management as an individual:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I used Planner to create a Business Development Plan to organize all of the Tasks related to this part of my job.<\/p>\n

Planner helps me see the big picture of all the Tasks I have going on. When the boss asks how my workload is, I can pull the Plan up to show him what\u00a0I have on my plate without getting him lost in the weeds of my Wunderlist Tasks lists.<\/p>\n

What I also love is that I can use two Planner features to help me quickly adjust\u00a0my priorities at the start of every week:<\/p>\n

Labels<\/strong> – I use the labels to show which\u00a0Boards are Priority (red) and which are\u00a0Important (orange).<\/p>\n

This way I can see at a glance where I should focus my attention.<\/p>\n

Buckets<\/strong> – I use buckets to sort my Boards into four buckets – One Time, Weekly, Monthly, and Ongoing.<\/p>\n

This way I can rearrange the order of the Boards in each\u00a0bucket\u00a0to put items that need attention at the top of each\u00a0bucket.<\/p>\n

How do you use Planner to stay organized and give yourself a big picture view of what’s going on?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
