3. Use technology to organise and plan work tasks and actions
The Apps considered are WunderList (https://www.wunderlist.com/) and Trello (https://trello.com/). After
evaluating both applications, the chosen app is Trello. This is because while WunderList has good features,
trello is feature rich in collaborative work as well as in undertaking personal work and tasks. With Trello, one
can organize tasks, get remindes when behind schedule, set goals, and collaborate with others. Collaboration is
going to be very important and crucial for acheving the set work goals (Duffy, 2017)
