when i feel overwhelmed by all the things i need to do, i write them down so that i can start feeling better about myself when i check things off.

i do.. but for stuff i know i'll forget or too much on my mind. i put it on my sidekick.

i used to write it on a cube of paper and write down due dates next to each task.

these days things get written down in MS OneNote or in a real notebook. the notebook gets quite cluttered tho, and occasionally when i turn the page, i forget to look backwards at what i've got to also do :)

I've tried a variety of methods, from notebook lists, to bulletin board calendars, to weekly organizers, to huge month-at-a-glace monstrosities. Problem is, I often forget to write the stuff down, so eventually all these methods fail. It is truly amazing that I get anything accomplished. I really do need to become more organized. :/

it's on a sheet of paper. my to do list always gets bigger and bigger and never has any deadlines. i spend more time actually writing and thinking about my to-do list than actually doing anything on it. i have fun crossing things off so i put everything on it, like..."take a shower" or "check mail". If the list gets messy, i spend more time re-writing it on a fresh sheet of paper. If you're interesting in making software for this kind of problem, perhaps a robot will be much more effective. yeah...spend more time on making a robot.

not like a to-do list, but more of a schedule type thing...
like for today this is what i'm going to do:
[3:30-4:30] food // study for bio
[4:30-5:30] english essay
[5:30-7:30] nap
[7:30-8] food
[8-12] english essay

and i put that on a lil electronic post-it that goes on my desktop. free software u can dL it here:

My $.02...I use Microsoft Outlook. It allows for a calendar & task reminder. You can schedule projects, due dates, and repetitive tasks. Useful, to me at least.

PDA.

I always have a to-do list for work. The long term ones go on the whiteboard and daily ones go into my notebook. It's the only way I get everything done.

I used ms word for my to-do list. =)

Btw, i've emailed you regarding my domain, looking forward to your reply. Thanks bro.

in a black notebook. :) um, hey, this is an out of the subject post, i cant create my own community.

i haven't created any communities by the way...

well there are the all-around post-its! i'm so addicted to them i put few pieces in every notebook i use. and if at home, i just use the cellphone's to do list option :)

I've just recently rediscovered my Palm (an m125 because I am a sucker for faceplates) and have been using the built-in programs. I suck at checking lists, but if the list beeps annoyingly at me, I can actually get places on time. I remember to take it with me because it has a game called Space Trader that has stolen my brain.

I also keep a textfile of website-related To Do stuff on my desktop, where it reminds me whenever I log on. Other than that, I just rely on organised people bossing around my disorganised self.

I keep the to-do list in my MS Outlook. I also maintain another Excel sheet where I track the long term todo s (Like an year or more).

I've got a todo list for you. Get to WORK!! :)

2ft x 1ft whiteboard/corkboard on my wall

helps a lot


and a moleskin notebook

Most definitely. I mostly use two programs on my laptop because I always have my laptop with me.

rainlendar: <a href="http://www.ipi.fi/~rainy/index.php?pn=projects&project=rainlendar">shortened link</a> [www.ipi.fi]

I use this for appointments, schedules, and deadlines. I'm currently using a skin that mimics the dashboard calendar widget on osx. Its FREE.

atnotes:
<a href="http://atnotes.fr.st/">http://atnotes.fr.st/</a>

I use this for general sticky note type things like.. "don't forget to pick up apples". Its also FREE.

I rely on these two programs daily to get through school and work.

yeah...I keep one: if it's short, in my head, a little longer on my hand & really long stuff/stuff to be done over a period of time is on my mirror (w/ white board markers)

not exactly a to-do list. i just have a traditional planner and an online calendar from yahoo for my weekly skeds and tasks.

I do not keep one every day. Sometimes, when I'm really busy, I keep one just using notepad or something simple on the computer.

It's all in the ole noggin. *taps head* But if what I plan to do involves a title or name, I do tend to write it down on paper.

I often couldn't be bothered to make an actual physical list either. Its all in the head and amazingly things are raely forgotten.

i usually keep a written list when i have a lot to do.
more often a mental list though

i keep a to do list on my pda. unfortunately it's sometimes tough to keep it up to date.

usually have it in my head if it's one or two errands. if it get's longer than that, then i physically jot it on a post it.
