Being a rather scatterbrained person, I’m always looking for ways to stay on track and keep organized. After working with the Franklin Covey system and GTD productivity systems the main thing I found lacking was integration with my digital life. Remember The Milk is a great solution for managing all your ToDos.
Right off the bat, RTM manages simple Task lists with no configuration needed. It manages tasks with due dates and even locations. These tasks can be organized into lists for easier management. The customization features allow you to set up lists, categories and reminders to match whatever productivity system you ascribe to.
The real benefit of the system is it’s wide variety of integration options. The system integrates with many popular applications and sites. Do you use GMail and Google Calendar? RTM integrates right into the flow. There are also a variety of desktop application integration points. My personal favorites are the ability to email tasks to RTM to be added to your list. My wife emails me simple ToDo items like “Pick up milk on the way home” that show up right on top of my daily ToDo list. When I’m in the store if i forget what she asked for I just jump on to RTM with the iPhone integration and quickly see what I missed.
This is a great tool that everyone should check out.
