When comparing task tools, the best question is: do you think in lists, boards, or timelines?

List‑based tools are great for fast capture and daily focus. Board‑based tools are great for visual flow. Timeline tools are great for project planning.

Pick the smallest tool that supports your workflow. More features rarely equal more clarity.

• Lists: fast capture, daily focus.
• Boards: visual flow and stages.
• Timelines: project planning and dependencies.
