FOSIL and the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) [Closed. Use Extended and Higher Project Quliafications Topic]

[Rachel Huskisson Participant]

Hi Jenny,

Great to hear what you are doing, it sounds brilliant. I started using Todist for myself about 4 months ago and love it. It is very easy to use the free version, you can have several projects on the go and there are some good functions like tagging and priorities. I like the simplicity of it but I do go through it every Friday to reschedule tasks, otherwise it can get a bit overwhelming when the “overdue tasks” mount up, could add stress to a certain type of student! I read a great book that goes into managing time in more detail which is what convinced me to use it GRIP – The Art of Working Smart (gripbook.com)

best wishes,

Rachel

Thanks Rachel. You’ve inspired me to have a go with ToDoist. I have to overcome a bit of inertia to try a new planning tool, because I already do my planning in the Outlook To Do list to some extent (just because it is conveniently there when I have my email open!) and I don’t want to move my current tasks to something else. I think I’ll try setting up something new there first (like planning for our family Christmas maybe) so it doesn’t feel like a duplication of effort. I really want to try some different tools so that I can recommend a range of options to the students (in the EPQ spirit of giving them informed choices to make). The book sounds very interesting – might be a good one to add to our collection so the students can benefit too.

I have shifted this discussion to the new Topic Extended and Higher Project Qualifications, for reasons explained at the start of that Topic. Please do continue to add to the conversation, but in that Topic not this one.
