Task Management with Todoist.com
Assembled by: Joe Zack under Approach and Web Development
If I haven’t already run you down in the street and yammered your ear off Todoist.com, then let me introduce you.
For years I’ve been searching for the perfect task management tool. I’ve tried all the standards, from Bugzilla to Remember the Milk but I always ended up back with Notepad.
My .txt wasn’t available from ‘the cloud’, no logical groups or filtering, and there’s no notion history. However, Notepad is FLEXIBLE! I can add, organize and reorganize my tasks however I want, whenever I want. Crazy, eh?
Enter Todoist
Todoist.com has a lot of the same features as the other tools, but it let me do things MY way! I can label, tree, sort and re-sort to my hearts content. It’s got quick and natural keyboard short-cuts, cool date-parsing date boxes, a full history, the data are fully exportable and the the price is right at $3 a month! The site even has instructional videos for getting over the short learning curve.
Don't want to forget about lunch!
Oh, and plug-ins. I use the iGoogle Gadget, FireFox plug-in, and it looks great on my beloved phone. If only there were a Thunderbird plug-in, then I might just burst into flames. Flames of affection.
And the best part, despite the plethora of features, Todoist has a fast, intuitive and SIMPLE interface. It gets out of the way and lets me track my tasks how I want to. In this age of opinionated software, it’s refreshing for a software product to work for me, instead of against me.
2 thumbs up!
