To do lists / reminders: What do you use?
Remember the milk: http:///www... Outstanding service. I'm a pro member - Bwana ☠
ditto for remember the milk. GMail integration is awesome as well. - Rob Diana
rememer to check the todo list on the fridge )- - Peter Dawson
Yeah, remember the milk. Great gMail integration - Phil G
I've tried RTM, Things, Evernote, Apple Mail/iCal, Inbox, and a handful of other apps: the only thing I ever check regularly is email and the chicken scratch notes on legal pad. From my own experience, you either are a todo list type person or you're not: there isn't a killer app that makes that leap, at least for me. - Mark Trapp
everything I use for reminders eventually ends up in the fail bin. wish i could get better at this, but i assume it's a mindset I'm missing. - Jeremy Toeman
RTM and Evernote are both good apps based on my evaluation, though I'm with Mark on this one. I use ginkgo biloba. :) - jcunwired
I don't use anything special for reminders either. Just a list in Google Notebook. - Morton Fox
Mark and I are in the same boat. I just don't find myself checking a service much other then my Google services and my iPhone notepad and cal. Thought they seem to work fine for me. - Andrew Dobrow
i use paper and the GTD system. i haven't found a good online on yet that integrates well. i've tried RTM and tadalists and neither really do it for me - Morgan from twhirl
OmniFocus for my GTD system, and plain paper for ad-hock must do tasks - Mark Nassal
@Rob @Bwana @Phil Gmail integration sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks! - Shey, Jamaican of FF
Give jott.com a try... Pretty damn good voice recognition and transcription! - Cem Catikkas
Moleskine works best for me. Go anywhere, no reception needed, doesn't seem rude in a meeting to use unlike phone/pda. - Tac Anderson
I generally use Apple's Mail.app for creating tasks. Then iCal reminds me about them. .Mac sync's my tasks to my other Mac, and iTunes syncs the tasks to my Nano and iPod Touch. Also long as I remember to create the task, then I'll have a hard time forgetting it or missing it. - Paul Grav
RTM - the best task manager..... - Keith Bilous
Jott is pretty cool but I'm not gonna pick up the phone everytime I need to add to my list - Shey, Jamaican of FF
@Tac: Moleskine's are so great, and so damn sexy. - Andrew Dobrow
@mark how is OmniFocus? - Morgan
I don't but I need to.... - Anthony Farrior
Remember the Milk FTW! - Mack D. Male
notepads , lots of them :) - Alemsah Ozturk
RememberTheMilk + Gcal +the RTM FF addon for Gmail - Then I use goosync +RTM WAP to trace cal and tasks on my mobile. i tried others web based and Mac but I keep returning to this combination. If RTM will make a Mail.app +iCal integration it will be perfect. - Naor Mark
Hum... I may seem so yesterday, but I use a single file named "bigfile.txt" that is almost the only thing on my desktop and I read it and edit it using vim :) - directeur
Remember the Milk - Evan Sims
Vitalist is great. iphone interface, Netvibes widget. Simple, based on GTD...via feedalizr - David Jacobs
Agree w others that rabid usage (and lack of) must be genetic. I've used Ta-da list (but seldom checked it) and now rely on a combination of Jott, Google "to do list" gadget, and GCal. - Erik Dafforn
I drank the GTD koolaid and started keeping a notebook in my pocket. I scribble notes in it all day long, and at night, I type those notes into a set of text files on my PC. I backup these text files onto a flash drive. I've considered keeping the text files in Google documents, but haven't done it yet. - ha3rvey (sup homepants)
My Blackberry - Jacob Nahin
A paper mindmap plus Backpack. - Вит Колесник
Things for OS X and a simple list in a notebook - I cross 'em off as they're done. Simple and helps me focus. - Chris Poterala from Alert Thingy
Remember the Milk, 'coz it has Twitter support! - Jansen Lu
@Morgan OmniFocus is one of the best MAC GTD tools-- Things is also very good. I have a list of most of the good ones at my blog http://sfp101.com/?page_id=43 - Mark Nassal
Outlook for the to-do lists, easiset for me to tag and set reminders. Still looking for a really good "random note taking" service. Found one for a nano-second last week, stumbled past it, forgot the address. :) - Robin Cannon from Alert Thingy
I use my brain memory, and paper. - Mohamed J from fftogo
I use my own wiki for this stuff: http://wiki.kirkkittell.com/index... -- kind of using it as a variation of the 'note on the refrigerator' in that it's only text, but I can access it via desktop or BlackBerry. I went the simpler text route after deciding that no amount of reminders was going to replace diligence (or: I hit 'snooze' a lot) - Kirk Kittell
RTM, i use the mobile version with my n95, and the widget in igoogle . perfect combo - Jonathan
Both RTM and a Moleskine. Really would love to use goosync and the mobile stuff on my phone, but my crappy cell provider doesn't let 3rd party apps access the Internet. Anxiously awaiting the end of my contract in the fall so I can get a modern phone and provider. - CJ
Remember The Milk is the clear winner here. Will check them out first - Shey, Jamaican of FF
@CJ Kloote - which phone you have ? goosync is using SyncML protocol which uses built in capabilities of Nokia and SE phones.. so no 3rd party.. all you need is a data account to do the sync - Naor Mark
RTM's blog has a guest post with GTD tips: http://blog.rememberthemilk.com/2008... - Dave Pelland
If just for me, pencil and paper - rewrite list every day to keep current - quicker for fast incoming todos - use iPhone notes app when not with paper list - David Van Vickle
RTM is handy but I just set reminders in google calendar -- works really well to stay on top of things because I always have Gmail open. - Nicholas Kreidberg
Another vote for RTM - really an amazing service. - David Worrell
RTM. I use mRTM (the mobile version) as Opera browser's panel. Quick to load and accessible all the time. - Ravindran Navaneethan
I use outlook, it sync over the air to my WM6 phone (thanks exchange!)... occasionally I use iWantSandy and Jott as a team. - Soulhuntre from twhirl
I use Google Calander. But I'm trying out Chandler http://chandlerproject.org/ - Roberto Bonini
Google notebook or scraps of paper left on the coffee table - Slappy Line
RTM and todotxt - sirishkumar
Great article for using RTM according to GTD practices: http://blog.rememberthemilk.com/2008... - Bill Bittner
@naor - Samsung T610. Not on the goosync supported list last I checked. - CJ
@CJ i tried to look up this phone specs, but didn't find it anywhere, I never believe those "supported" lists - my SET650i wasn't listed either but it works perfectly :) so tend to check it myself. I've noticed that some Samsung models do support SyncML, so check out your user manual.. it just might work for you - Naor Mark
@naor - hmm, ok, I'll have to check it out. - CJ
Currently a combo of Things, iCal and Mail. System-wide tasks on Leopard rules. - John Samuelson
Ta-Da Lists by 37 Signals. Free, has an iPhone-friendly web interface. - Glenn Batuyong
Ok, guess I'll have to take another look at RTM. I didn't realize so many people were using it and loved it... - Garrett Fitzgerald
pocket pad of paper with a 3x5 hipster on top. Slips of paper for quick entry and easy sorting. 3x5s for lists with some categorization. - Ashton
I'm with Mark on this one - tried lots of apps but keep returning to the chicken scratch in my trusty moleskin and bright orange cards for urgent items. - Sally Church
I'd like to use RTM in GMail, but for a few weeks now I'm using Prism to have GMail started as a separated app. Now I have no glue how to get the FF RTM addon being loaded in Prism. Any ideas? - Alexander Ebel
Up till today, I was using RTM in a prism window. The problem I have right now is, we are an Exchange shop at work, so a ton of stuff comes through my email...so having to read the email and then transfer that to RTM just seems a bit much...and since I am looking at using OneNote for my higher level tracking...would like something that can possibly sync RTM and Outlook without having to fork out any money at the moment. - the_IT_factor
You realize the Jott uses human voice recognition. They outsourced it to India. - Jim McCusker
I use Vim + Vim outliner (in a format based one GTD): http://peterstuifzand.nl/gtd-vim... - Peter Stuifzand
