Remember The Milk
Remember The Milk is an online to-do list that does more than your post-it note will ever dream of doing. Here are a few features that I use regularly:
- Add to-do items to lists (one or multiple) or tag an item to be added to a particular list automatically.
- Send to-do items to other users.
- Add an address to a to-do item and see all of your items on a map. For example, if you have to pick up groceries, go to the mall, and get an oil change, you can map these out to figure out the best route.
- Sort tasks by list, due date, location.
- Get a text message notification of today’s to-do items.
There are a few advanced features that I’ll write separate posts about:
- Set up Remember the Milk to work with Getting Things Done. (Here’s the tutorial I used to get started.)
- Have YouMail send voicemail notification to Remember The Milk as to-do items. (Check out my previous post on YouMail.)
- Forward certain email to Remember The Milk as to-do items.
- IM tasks to yourself, or use Jott to leave yourself voice messages which are transcribed as to-dos.
- Add tasks using the Remember The Milk Widget for Mac.
- See your to-dos on iCal, Google Calendar, and others.
Now use your last post-it and write “Check out Remember The Milk”. Poor post-it.
