Free Online Task Management

Regular readers might have read my post back in December 2009 about an online To Do list. Well, in the end, TeuxDeux's simplicity killed it for me. I found I needed more space for descriptions, I craved for a calendar and the ability to post an item further into the future quicker than TeuxDeux's painful option, etc, etc.

So, as luck would have it, I stumbled upon a far more powerful tool, also free, of course: HiTask.

HiTask allows for more options than I care for, but what's important is that it gives me more space than I need for descriptions, I can jump ahead easily, I can set reminders and even schedule it to remind me by email, I can categorise my items, and a whole load more, which I won't go into here. If you don't believe it, check it out for yourself!

TeuxDeux: The "To Do" List You've been Waiting For!

Updated 16 May 2010: This has been superseded by this post here.

Some months back I started a 'to do' list on a Word document. I religiously jotted things down, crossed them out, and moved them about. However, I eventually stopped adding things as I became rather overwhelmed by it all - too busy to even look at the file!

Now, I've stumbled upon what could be the perfect 'to do' list! A no-frills online list which I can access at any time wherever I am, without worrying if I'd updated my list in the desktop or in the notebook, or if I had synchronised the files...

Signing up is dead easy: an email address and a username is all it needs to be up and running. To start using it is also so easy a child could do it. I love the 'someday' list, which is absolutely crucial for me. No doubt, TeuxDeux (pronounced  "to do") will change and grow, but I really hope its simplicity will be maintained.

Don't just take my word for it - check this video out!
