Following up on yesterday’s post, WordPress Planning,聽 I want to share a free online tool I use to manage my To-Do list! I cannot imagine what I would do without it. I chuckle when I think about all the methods I used in the past! I had all sorts of scrap papers in my pocket; I used various computer programs (even one my best friend, Marco, wrote), and I tried incorporating Post-it notes into my Franklin Covey planner… You name it; I think I tried it at some point.
But now… Oh my! I absolutely LOVE a free online / iPhone app called Toodledo! I have a slew of items on my list. I like to order them by Date, although I can order them by Folder, Context, or even Priority. If you have any experience with the GTD system (Getting Things Done by David Allen), this website will incorporate much of that system.
You can see a screenshot of the actual page of my account (I blurred some of the personal/sensitive items). What could make this even better? There is an app for my iPhone! I can update/add/check off completed items at any point! How awesome is that? And oh yeah… did I mention it does not cost you anything?
To be completely honest, they do have a Pro Membership. The basic membership is free. It’s 100% Free and it works fantastically. I did upgrade to the Pro Membership when there was a problem with one of their servers a few years ago. There was a brief period (i.e., a few hours) when data was not updated from the website to my iPhone. The professionalism in which the incident was handled was so top-notched that I felt compelled to upgrade just because I was so grateful for how they communicated what they were doing, time lines to normal service, etc.
By the way – the upgrade is only $14.95/year! If you do upgrade, you get some nice additional features.
As you can tell, I am extremely grateful and in love with this website and app! What do you use? Leave a comment and share your ideas and methods for tracking your To-Do list.
I’ll have to take some time to check it out. Thx!
Paul, sounds great! But I’m not an iPhone user – I have a Droid. Do you know if it’s available for us “non-Apple” people?
Your main account would be created on Toodledo. The iPhone provides a nice app to access that data.
To access the data/your account/your To Do items on an Android, you can download a third-party application that syncs with your Toodledo account. The Android Market offers several applications that work in conjunction with your Toodledo account, including “ToodleDroid,” “TodoToday for Toodledo” and “Ultimate To-Do List.”
I cannot personally recommend one becuase I only have an iPhone.
Let me know what works, Jeanne!
Great tip. I just signed up. Looks simple to use. Thanks for sharing
It is also fun to check things off as you do them 馃檪
