• We've got a family member flying in and spending the night Thursday, so I'm in cleaning overload trying to get the apartment in good shape for his visit.  He's coming in for the NCAA Women's Final Four and meeting some friends, so he's just staying the one night, but I don't want him thinking "I'll never stay here again!"  Luckily, I still have a

I'm a recent convert of Wunderlist, free on iTunes. I use it on my Mac and iPhone, and it syncs both devices, so you can track accomplished and/or added tasks from either.

Isn't getting organized delightful?

External process - I use an app called Things. It's expensive. And I bought both the phone and the computer version so that they sync together and I can carry the list around easily.

What works for me -

1) It's very easy to move a task to another day. Paper lists have to be redone all the time (though some people swear by this).

2) It's very easy to put a task in the "inbox" (my do-it-sometime pile) or assign it to a project (there's a separate list for each of my projects) or to schedule it for a specific later date.

3) It's very easy to schedule repeating tasks - water the cactus every two weeks, collect the rent on the 1st of every month, drink two bottles of water a day.

4) It doesn't do anything else. I don't use it to sync up with social media or intersect with any other programs (though I can click on a phone number to make a call, or click on an email address to send an email). I don't have to learn very much to use it.

And as an internal process -
