Looking for an easy way to organize your to-do lists? As most of my readers already know I use Gmail for everything, so I built my TODO lists there. I simply added a label called “TODO” and then created a filter that takes any email with subject “TODO” and labels it accordingly. Then I forward them via SMS to my phone so they can always be with me. When I complete an item I simply relabel it “TODO completed” so I can look back at things that are done. I am in my email a lot and when I see something in my TODO I have a instinct to want to clear it out which helps me get things done. This is also a great way for other people to send you a TODO. Just let them know that they need “TODO” in your subject.

    To add a todo item: simply send an email to yourself and label it? - sounds like a lot of work just to get a to-do item remembered. I think I’ll stick to the old fashion way of using online and physical post-it notes. :p

Got something to say?
