What it is

A shared planning tool for the whole Bell team. Tasks, projects, ideas, important dates, and notes in one place. Lives at social.bellconveyancing.com and works in any browser, on any device.

Why we use it

So nothing falls through the cracks. Settlement follow ups, office tasks, things to do for clients, all visible to the team.

So we can capture ideas as they happen. If you spot something that could improve the office, the website, the client experience, drop it in. KB and Abby see it on the Ideas board. We act on it together.

So personal admin does not get lost in your inbox. Birthdays, appointments, your own to-do list. Keep them personal if you want, share them if it helps the team.

Sign in

Go to social.bellconveyancing.com and type your own four digit PIN. Each staff member has their own. If you have forgotten yours, ask KB privately.

New since launch
  • Editable staff list. Admins (Kristy and Abby) can add, edit, or remove staff under Settings. Set each person's name, four digit PIN, email, and admin rights without touching any code.
  • Office announcements. Admins can pin a message to the top of Today for the whole team. Holiday closures, rosters, internal updates.
  • Leave tab. Add your own time off so the team can plan coverage. Shows on Today's "Who is in, who is away" panel and on the Calendar as a coloured band.
  • Assign tasks. Every task has an Assigned to dropdown. Filter the Tasks tab to "Assigned to me" to see your own list.
  • Project organiser. Each project shows who is leading it as a coloured chip on the project card.
  • @mentions. Type @Name (e.g. @Tammy) in any task notes, idea, or note body to flag a teammate. They see it on their Today.
  • Per project activity log. Every project tracks who did what when. Visible at the bottom of the project modal.
  • Daily email digest. Each staff member with an email set gets a 8am brief with their tasks, projects they organise, who is on leave, and important dates ahead.
What each tab does
โ˜€ Today. Morning landing page. Greeting, today's date, four panels: due today, coming up in seven days, active projects, important dates ahead. Quick capture at the top is the fastest way to dump a thought into the tool. Type, pick Task or Idea or Note or Reminder, hit Enter.
โœ“ Tasks. Your to-do list and the team's. Each task has priority, due date, category, project link, and recurring options. Tick the circle to mark done. Recurring tasks auto create the next one.
โ—† Projects. For anything bigger than one task. Two pre filled templates: Party planner (nine starter tasks) and Post plan (six tasks for a social batch).
๐Ÿ’ก Ideas. Five column board: Just captured, Considering, Active, Parked, Done. Capture now, decide later. One click converts to a task.
๐Ÿ“… Calendar. Month view of every dated task, project deadline, and important date.
๐ŸŽ‚ Reminders. Birthdays, anniversaries, appointments. Tick Repeats every year and they roll forward forever.
๐Ÿ“ Notes. Sticky notes and checklists. Pin the important ones. Default is personal.
Personal versus team

Every item has a ๐Ÿ”’ Personal toggle at the bottom of its modal. Flick it on for anything you want kept private. Only you see it.

  • Tasks, projects, ideas, reminders default to team visible.
  • Notes default to personal because notes feel private.
  • You can change either way at any time.
Real life examples
Kylie needs new computer equipment

Her monitor is flickering.

She opens The Daily, clicks Quick capture on Today, types "New monitor for my desk, the current one keeps flickering.", picks Idea, hits Enter. The card lands on the Ideas board with her name on it. KB sees it, agrees, hits Convert to task which moves it to Tasks. KB orders the monitor and ticks done.

Rule of thumb. Idea is "raising it for consideration". Task is "I will do it" or "this needs doing".

Tammy has an idea for a new program

She notices the team keeps missing the seven day pre settlement check in.

She opens Ideas, hits + New idea, titles it "Automated seven day pre settlement check in", drops the why and how in the detail box, picks Category Tools, saves. KB reads it, decides yes, opens Projects, creates a project, breaks the build into starter tasks. Kristy ticks tasks off as she builds. The whole team sees progress.

Amy has an idea for the Bell birthday party

She wants a 90s theme this year.

If no party project exists. She adds it as an Idea with detail in the body (throwback fits, 90s playlist, polaroids at the door, lolly bag favours), Category Events. KB reads it, opens Projects, hits ๐ŸŽ‰ Party planner to spin up a project from the template with nine starter tasks. She pastes Amy's 90s detail into the project notes. Tammy adds "buy disposable cameras", Kate handles the playlist, the team fills in the rest.

If the party project already exists. Amy skips the Idea step. Opens Projects, finds the project, clicks + Add task, types her idea, saves. Same outcome, faster.

Charlotte spots a typo on the website

Quick capture, types "Typo on contact page, Bathurst spelt Bathrust", picks Task, hits Enter. Abby sees it, fixes it that afternoon, ticks done.

Naomee wants to remember Pat's birthday

Pat is a long term client. Reminders tab, + New reminder, title "Pat (client), birthday", date 12 June, type Birthday, tick Repeats every year, notes "Send card a week before, address in matter file". Saves. Shows up on Today's "Important dates ahead" from a week out, every year forever.

Lea wants a personal to-do list

Hairdresser Friday 4pm, vet visit Monday. She adds them as Tasks but flicks the ๐Ÿ”’ Personal task toggle on at the bottom of the modal. Only Lea sees them. Team list stays clean.

The pattern
  • If something needs doing, Task.
  • If something might need doing, Idea.
  • If you need to remember a date forever, Reminder.
  • If it is a multi step thing with a deadline, Project.
  • If it is just a thought to come back to, Note.
Good fit
  • Settlement reminders for clients
  • Office tasks (call the courier, restock the kitchen, follow up on accounts)
  • Team birthdays and anniversaries
  • Marketing, blog, and social post ideas
  • Office events (Christmas party, training day, R U OK Day)
  • Personal to-dos
  • Multi step projects
Not for
  • Client matter notes. Use the matter management system.
  • Confidential client information. The Daily is shared between staff.
  • Document storage. Planning, not files.

Habits worth forming
  • Open The Daily first thing in the morning. Check Today, do what is due, capture new tasks from your inbox.
  • Use Quick capture liberally. Anything you might forget. Even half formed ideas. Better in the tool than in your head.
  • Move ideas across the board. Just captured to Considering when you reread it. Considering to Active when you commit. Active to Done when shipped.
  • Tick off tasks as you go. Recurring ones bring themselves back automatically.
Stuck

Ask KB or Abby. They both have full visibility and can sort anything from a wrong PIN to a missing item.
