Top 10 Tips to Maximize MyMo ProductivityMyMo can be a powerful productivity tool when used intentionally. Below are ten practical, actionable tips to help you get the most out of MyMo, whether you’re using it for personal tasks, team coordination, or long-term projects.
1. Start with a clean setup
Begin by organizing your MyMo workspace. Create clear folders, projects, or boards for major areas of your life (Work, Personal, Learning, Health). Remove or archive outdated items and use consistent naming conventions so items are easy to search.
- Create 3–6 primary workspaces to avoid clutter.
- Use prefixes like “PRJ—” or “RTN—” (for recurring tasks) to group similar items.
- Set default views for each workspace (list, board, calendar) depending on the type of work.
2. Use templates for recurring workflows
If you repeat common processes (e.g., onboarding, content publishing, weekly reviews), build templates in MyMo to save setup time and ensure consistency.
- Create task templates with prefilled checklists, due-date offsets, and assignees.
- Save project templates for standard initiatives and clone them when starting new work.
3. Break tasks into focused subtasks
Large tasks become manageable when split into small, clearly defined actions. Each subtask should take no more than 20–30 minutes.
- Use checklists or nested tasks to represent steps.
- Assign time estimates and tag priorities to subtasks to guide planning.
4. Prioritize ruthlessly
Not every task is equally important. Use MyMo’s priority flags, labels, or custom fields to mark what truly matters.
- Apply an “A/B/C” priority system or use Eisenhower-style tags (urgent/important).
- Limit your daily “A” tasks to 3–5 items to maintain focus and momentum.
5. Leverage calendar integration
Sync MyMo with your calendar to see deadlines and time-block effectively. Time blocking reduces task-switching and protects focused work time.
- Create calendar events from important tasks and include task links.
- Reserve recurring blocks for deep work and quick admin sessions.
6. Automate routine actions
Use MyMo’s automation features (rules, triggers, or integrations) to reduce manual work.
- Auto-assign tasks when moved to a specific stage.
- Set reminders or change due dates based on status changes.
- Connect with tools like Slack, Google Calendar, or Zapier for cross-app automation.
7. Use tags and custom fields for context
Tags and custom fields help filter tasks by context (e.g., location, energy level, required tool).
- Create context tags: @home, @phone, @focus, @meeting.
- Add custom fields for effort (low/medium/high), client, or revenue impact.
8. Run weekly reviews
A weekly review keeps your system trustworthy. Spend 30–60 minutes reviewing completed work, upcoming deadlines, and backlog items.
- Archive or delete irrelevant tasks.
- Re-prioritize and schedule tasks for the coming week.
- Update templates, automation rules, and custom fields as needed.
9. Collaborate with clear conventions
When working in teams, establish naming, assignment, and commenting conventions to reduce friction.
- Use @mentions for action requests and due-date changes for accountability.
- Keep comments focused: state the problem, propose a solution, and assign the next step.
- Use shared dashboards or filters for team visibility into priorities and blockers.
10. Measure and iterate
Track productivity signals and iterate on your workflows. Use MyMo’s reporting or export data to measure cycle time, completion rates, and bottlenecks.
- Set simple KPIs: weekly completed tasks, average time-to-complete, or on-time completion rate.
- Run short experiments (2–4 weeks) with different prioritization or time-blocking approaches and compare results.
- Adjust templates and automations based on what reduces friction.
Summary checklist
- Organize workspaces and use consistent naming.
- Create and reuse templates.
- Break tasks into 20–30 minute actions.
- Prioritize 3–5 daily high-impact tasks.
- Sync with calendar and time-block.
- Automate repetitive steps.
- Tag tasks with context.
- Do a weekly review.
- Agree team conventions for collaboration.
- Measure outcomes and iterate.
Use these tips as a starting point: implement one or two changes at a time, measure their impact, and build a workflow that fits your rhythm.
