Review: Do it Tomorrow App

So I've been using this Do It Tomorrow app on and off for about a year.  What it comes down to is a basic to-do list. It's not my daily to-do list, that's handwritten however I use it as a list of things I would like to get accomplished at some point.  I use it as a reminder.  It is my master list of tasks.

How many times have you been out and about then remember - "damn I wanted to do that"  but you know as soon as you get home you'll forget - well I use this app for those moments.  I check it periodically during the week to see if I need to add any of them to my daily to-do list.

I have used other to-do list apps but they get so complicated with a list for this and a list for that and oh I should have lists for the kids and soon I was drowning in lists.  Do it tomorrow app reminded me that I should keep it simple.  So I have two lists the master list and the daily list.  My master list is my do it tomorrow app that I can ignore and not get overwhelmed.  My daily to-do list is a thoughtful list I make each morning of things I know I can accomplish that day and if I get them all done early - that is when I turn to my Do it Tomorrow list.

Here's a quick snapshot of my thoughts on the app:

Neutral:

• It's one list - I say neutral because I like this as a feature.  When I had several lists I got confused and overwhelmed.  But I can see how a super organized person would like the complicated lists.
• Ultimately it comes down to being just a to-do list - no bells or whistles - again I prefer that, see reason above.

Pros:

• Keeps track of your tasks
• Chrome allows you to add it as an extension to its browser
• List items are placed in the cloud so you can access it from anywhere that has an App (itunes or android market)  I have mine on my tablet.
• List automatically moves to tomorrow if you don't cross it off
• You can move things to the next day and focus on the ones you want to get done today
• you can move tasks on the list up and down
• Pretty user interface - I think visually appealing is a good thing
• Simple
• It's free although there is a paid service to integrate Google Tasks for $1.99 I did not have this

Cons:

• The extension only lets you add items to your list, you can't see other items on your list without opening the app

Note: I didn't get paid for this.  I know there are so many blog posts (not mine) that do this but not this one.
