There are many task organizing programs out there, from Outlook to Evernote to Google tasks, that can track a project you are working in detail and with great precision, sync across platforms, and in some cases allow you to assign different tasks to different groups. They are all excellent tools.
Sometimes, however, you need just the opposite: a simple to do list where you can quickly write things down that you need to do that day, as they occur to you. I use Wunderlist (www.wunderlist.com/), and I like it. It's simple and straightforward. I keep it on my desktop, nearly always open, and add tasks as they occur to me, check off tasks I've completed. It syncs across platforms so you can access it from your phone or tablet. You can drop and drag tasks into Work, Personal, and other categories, or create your own categories. You can also add due dates and reminders.
It's simple, it's easy, it gets the job done. And it's free!
