List Making

Usually around this time of year (New Years), people make resolutions to stay more organized. If you really know me, you would know me as the Queen of To-Do Lists. Here are some ways to keep an electronic to-do list:

Google Tasks (web based through your Google account) - On your computer, while logged into Mail, click on where it says “Mail” in the upper left of the screen and pick Tasks. A little window will appear where you can start creating your to-do list. On a mobile device, go to gmail.com/tasks to access your list.

Reminders App (built in on Mac, iPad, iPhone, and through iCloud.com) - This is great for to-do lists and getting tasks done. I like it because it not only creates a separate line for each item, but it can be set to send you notifications at a particular time, on a repeating schedule, or when you get to a certain location to remind you to get your tasks done. Lists will sync between Apple devices through your iCloud (such as your Apple ID or iTunes accounts) if you set it up.

Wunderlist (Mac, iOS, PC, Android, or web based) - This is the free option I am currently using. I like that it can be a separate program on my computer and that I can create lists to share with other people to work on collaboratively. It can be set to remind you to complete tasks at a certain time. You need to sign up for it, but you can Sign Up with Google using your work email address - this way you will not need another username and password. The free account should be all that you need.
