2. To-do lists alone aren’t enough to send a man to
the moon, build a pyramid, and create the device
you're reading on right now. Humanity’s greatest
achievements – and your next project – need
a workflow, a way to break an undertaking up into
achievable chunks, make sure each part is
completed in a consistent manner, and ship the
finished project on time. That’s what the best
project management apps do.
