What Is The Best Project Management Software?

Laurie Rogers

In any project you start, the organization of tasks and time is essential. Even if it is something small where only you participate, you will have to organize your times and priorities to reach the goal, which becomes more complicated as members are added to the team. Fortunately, there are several options in self-hosted project management software that greatly simplify the problem for us.

The management software helps us better organize the activities since each one allows us to see graphically and easily the different projects we are working on, the team members. They participate in each one, the assigned tasks each one and the progress in their execution and considering that more and more work is done remotely and that many organizations are made up of freelancers who work from different parts of the world, these tools are increasingly necessary. They are focused on collaborative work and contribute to better, instant, and effective communication, while some offer file sharing facilities.

Kendo Manager

It has a very graphic and well-designed desktop where all your projects and clients are displayed simultaneously. By entering each project, you can easily see if there are new or pending tasks. And when you’re done with each one, you can mark it as finished. Another advantage is that you have all the communications groups in the same space.

As for teamwork, with Kendo Manager

 it is very easy to upload and share files and even keep track of the changes in each one. You can also track the progress of each member and each task. And also, some of the paid versions allow you to control the time spent on each activity.

Regarding the support, this is software based on the cloud and with apps for iPhone.

Basecamp offers several payment alternatives, which vary depending on the organization’s size, and a free version limited to one project, which, although it has no user limit, does not allow file sharing.

Then, you can see if you are interested in completing Basecamp’s features with other invoicing tools, layout, or other available widgets.

But above all, Kendo Manager

is very customizable. Projects can be organized into boards or panels where you can create cards, which are the equivalent of tasks. Once the team is created, various work dynamics can be used since you can assign a card to someone, let the collaborators assign pending cards, change the person in charge of each task, etc.

And it has a very functional design with the information arranged in columns, which you can use to organize tasks according to whether they are new, important, blocked or pending, professional or personal. In addition, you can add colored labels to them to find and distinguish them easily.

Also, sharing documents with Trello is very simple since it allows you to work with Dropbox and Google Drive to attach files to tasks. It also has a to-do calendar that can easily be incorporated into Google Calendar, for example.

Other advantages are that it has mobile applications and, above all, that it is free. For companies, there is also a premium payment option.

Bathroom curtain: how to choose? Which option is better?

Laurie Rogers

A cleverly chosen detail betrays the owner’s tastes and gives the bathroom an individual character. The main thing is that the bathroom fully meets the personal needs and expectations of the rest of the household. The biggest dilemma is the choice between shower and bath. When choosing a shower, sliding doors are also bought or invested in full shower stalls as a rule. If, however, you have already purchased only a shower tray or bathtub, then you should also think about buying additional elements, such as a curtain. Without this small, albeit necessary detail, the water will flood the entire room. This solution can only be used in suitable interiors. Only high-quality shower curtains are recommended, which effectively protect the bathroom from water while bathing. An excellent solution would be a waterproof PVC shower curtain designed for hanging from the eaves. Bath screens are sold in various colors; they are sliding and do not allow water or moisture to pass through.

The material for bath curtains is of the following options:

  • Textile shower curtains – they are very durable and also come in a variety of colors. It should be noted that they do not stick to the body when exposed to water.
  • The PVC shower curtain is definitely a cheaper product when compared to textile bath curtains. This option is easier to clean. However, the main disadvantage of this material is the fact that it sticks to a wet body while bathing, which can be extremely annoying in many cases.
  • Glass Curtain – It is suitable for both shower and bath. You can choose clear or frosted glass. The biggest advantages of glass curtains are their strength, tightness, and installation differentiation. There are curtains on the market installed on the right as well as on the left. Therefore, you will not be limited by the location of the bath. Among the disadvantages, of course, will be the high cost and more difficult cleaning.

 Bath screen: textile or PVC?

If you don’t want to choose solid foods, a textile or PVC curtain is a good and, above all, a cheap choice. What is the best shower curtain? It is definitely worth spending some on a textile curtain that is much more durable than PVC and also won’t stick to your wet body in the shower.

Buy a shower curtain by size.

If you want to purchase or order a curtain adapted to a bath or shower stall in terms of dimensions, then you have to make a few calculations. Remember first of all that its length should have been a little more than the bathtub since the curtain can be folded.

Bathroom curtain rod

In order for you to be able to use traditional shower curtains, you should choose rods for them on which they will be installed. Of course, the most important parameter will be length: on the market, you can find products from 70 to 300 centimeters. You can also purchase an adjustable shower bar (extension), the length of which will be adjusted accordingly. On the rods, there are special circles or teeth on which the curtain is superimposed.

Using a shower in the bathroom is sometimes tiring. To minimize the inconvenience and enjoy the moment, it is worth using a shower curtain with a waterproof cover to keep water from flooding the bathroom.
