In my latest post, I delve into how storytelling becomes a powerhouse of engagement when done right, with insights from Mario García and successful media companies at the INMA Media Subscriptions Summit. I also unpack the art of breaking down tasks for anyone who finds project management less than intuitive. Plus, discover Bento Home—a slick new app aimed at streamlining your to-do list for more meaningful productivity.

• Done the way readers want it, storytelling is a strong engagement tool: Mario García, author and news design veteran, urges media companies to go mobile-first to reach readers where and how they want to be reached. Also, The Dallas Morning News, Outriders, and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism share with INMA Media Subscriptions Summit attendees how they are using journalism to increase engagement and revenues.
• Breaking Down Tasks: Something missing from this series on estimation, until now, has been a discussion of how to “break down” a project into a well-defined task list. I’d not previously written about this because, to me, it’s largely intuitive. But it isn’t for everyone, so this post fills the gap, and explains in detail how I break down projects into a task list.
