Ed Tech Tuesday: Goblin Tools
May 21, 2024
Do you ever feel like your to-do list is an ever-expanding monster, relentlessly multiplying tasks and leaving you feeling powerless? Well today's tool might be just what you need to make it more manageable.
Goblin Tools is a great tool that breaks down any task into smaller bite-size tasks. It helps you stay organized, focused, and on track to achieving your goals. It's perfect for helping you make an overwhelming task more manageable. In fact, Goblin Tools was specifically designed to help neurodivergent individuals with tasks they find overwhelming or difficult.
Simple Tools, Powerful Results
Unlike complex project management software, Goblin Tools focuses on providing a suite of straightforward, web-based tools designed to address specific needs. Here's a look at what it offers:
-
Conquer Complex Tasks with Magic To Do: This tool allows you to break down large tasks into smaller chunks, making them more manageable and less intimidating. The best part? You can customize your tasks based on your own unique needs and preferences. For instance, I am planning to take the Certified Nurse Educator Exam shortly and I entered this task in the Magic To Do and it gave me a nice break down of tasks I can do to make a plan to prepare for that.
-
Compile my braindump into a list of tasks: Another great feature of Goblin Tools is the ability to take all your scattered thoughts and ideas and compile them into a cohesive list of tasks. This tool helps you organize your braindump into actionable items, making it easier to stay on track and get things done. This is agreat feature, particularly if you want to organize your thoughts around development of a scholarly article which can sometimes begin in a jumble.
Helpful to Students and Neurodivergent Users
While Goblin Tools offers a valuable benefit to anyone seeking to improve their productivity, it can be particularly helpful for neurodivergent users. Students would also benefit from some of the features such as the Formalizer which can change the tone of a writing. On many occasions I have received very informal and casual emails from students that would benefit from being converted into more formal and respectful tone.
Free and Premium Options
The core functionality of Goblin Tools is available for free on their website. There's also a premium plan offering additional features like unlimited task creation. However, even the free version provides a powerful set of tools to effectively manage your workload and achieve your goals.
The Takeaway
If you're looking for a way to streamline your workflow and conquer your to-do list, Goblin Tools is definitely worth exploring. Its user-friendly interface, combined with its suite of effective tools, makes it a valuable asset in your productivity arsenal.
