I love making lists and swear by them. If I have a prospective employee that I’m interviewing I grill them on how they keep track of open items. It’s mandatory they have a process in place, or I can’t work with them – if you’re disorganized you just can’t be productive.

Sounds like you’ve got a nice solution there.

I keep all my tasks in Vitalist, but mobile viewing on my cell phone (standard small screen) is not pleasant. I have been trying to find a way to sync or just plain copy my Vitalist todos to my old Sony Palm, so that I can carry them around through the day.

Via my Blackberry and Rememberthemilk. I keep returning to RTM because it comes closest to my top favourite Todoist which is sadly missing the one or other feature at the moment fpr daily use. But i hope & believe this will be fixed soon ;o)

My problem simply was that I never ever managed to keep every information & reminder synchronized on all machines I use – RTM solved that for me.

Howlbeck, how do you carry your online to do list with you? That my only real problem with my current Vitalist setup, and it is frustrating re-writing tasks if I need them on the run.

And William, I definitely agree with you on taking action. I love seeing my todo list almost empty

Writing down things is good but you should not overdo it. I have caught myself writing too much and taking not too much action.

The core of every success and achievement is action. So writing is just a tool, but not the real thing. I am trying to keep my todo lists simple and write as less as possible. This a hard task. (

William

I like online to-do-lists because things simply don’t get lost. I use them because I have all those hard-to-remember-things always available, regardless of where i am.

I totally agree with you in one point – I’m using it to eliminate my weak point: my brain. sometimes it simply says: STOP ! OVERLOAD !!! that’s when tdl’s came in, at first on paper (which was never available when needed) – nowadays on the web. I’m happy.
