Simplifying your life usually starts with a list, and what better way than to use some online service that will maintain your lists for you? There are lots to choose from, I took a look at a few services and put together the following table to guide your own decision. If I missed a favorite, let me know.
| Product/URL | Single/group | Create to dos from emails in | Email to dos out | change email address | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Remember the milk | Group | Yes | No | Yes | Free |
| Ta-da list | Single | No | No | Yes | Free |
| TasksPro | Group | Yes | Yes | Yes | $125 |
| GooTodo | Group | Yes | Yes | No | $18/6 mos. |
I’m not exactly sure what “Email to dos out” means, but Tasks Pro does have e-mail notifications and reminders. Perhaps it does have what you’re looking for.
Online todo lists are good for one-off items, but if you need to be reminded to do something on an ongoing basis, try http://www.hassleme.co.uk/ – simple, free to use and highly effective.
GooTodo is free only for the first 30 days and you have to supply a credit card to begin the trial period. After that, it’s $18 for six months.
