I am caught up in the glow of a new relationship. A friend introduced us and it’s been a
whirlwind romance since then. It keeps
track of things for me and lets me know what needs to happen without being
pushy. I see this relationship going
far.
ToDoist.com is my new crush. It’s an online ‘personal task manager’ where
you can enter your tasks, add a date, color code, and mark them important. You can drag them into a nesting list like an
outline, keeping all your tasks together.
It’s great for keeping all those little things that need to happen in
every project together.
I’m currently using the free version, but I can see myself
getting the paid version in the future.
There are more features, like notes and reminders, in the paid
version. ToDoist can also be attached to
Firefox. Instead of having to open a new
tab and flip back and forth, Firefox will put a button on your toolbar and
maximize / minimize a small section for you.
It’s pretty nifty for home use.
I have a terrible habit of thinking a project won’t take
very long because I forget all the little details that have to be
accomplished. ToDoist lets me plop down
my basic idea / project, then start filling it up with all the little things
that need to be done. Then it will
remind me when I need to get them done. You
can also set recurring tasks, so I don’t have re-enter when all my meetings
are.
My previous To Do list was written on multiple pieces of
paper (normally whatever I had on hand), my white board, and my writing notebook. I can’t take my laptop on errands with me,
but at least I can keep track of the errands I should be doing from week to
week.
If you haven’t tried out ToDoist yet, you might want to
think about it.
