Add "My Top 6" feature to My Work tab
When I was onboarding myself and my team to Wrike, I discovered a very helpful Wrike Webinar called “Personal Productivity in Wrike.” I made everyone watch it, and it was a game changer! The biggest takeaway was how to create a “My Top 6” folder, in which teammates can tag the 6 tasks they want to accomplish in a day and make those tasks their sole priority. When Wrike updated the “My Work” feature in labs (Wrike.com/labs), I thought “YESSS! Wrike has automated this for us.”
Not quite... With the My Work Update you can drag and drop tasks to change their priority order, but there are a few things preventing it from functioning as a true My Top 6. If this feature could follow your own productivity advice, it’ll change the way people work within Wrike (and eliminate the overdependence on Dashboards).
- Above “Incoming” and “Today” create a section called “My Top 6”.
- Add a search feature so that someone can search for the task they want to add into their Top 6.
- Add a hover feature on the side that says “add to My Top 6” so that it’ll automatically add a task to the Top 6 list when clicked.
From there the teammate can drag/drop the task in the Top 6 list into whatever order they want. There would probably also need to be a hover feature for “remove from My Top 6” is the task no longer becomes a priority.
I think it would be equally important to prevent someone from having more than 6 tasks in that section. If someone tries, a warning can pop up, and they can be directed to watch the productivity video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02sGQXhhE4o
Stephen, I sent you an email with an onboarding document I have my team use. I just guessed at your email, so let me know if you received it!
@Keeley, thanks so much for that. It's excellent! I've got back to your email. It would be great to hear more here about the onboarding process you use internally. Any other things you find that helps during onboarding or any obstacles you regularly need to overcome.
I think it would be a great help for other members who go through the same process. Anyone else with tips, feel free to join in, I'd love to hear different approaches!
