Series: simple ways to remember Day 3 – Remember the Milk
October 11, 2007
This is Day 3 of a series of simple ways to remember stuff. Today’s review is about a powerful online to-do site called Remember the Milk. (While it’s designed for to-do’s, it can also be used for recording other thoughts and ideas you want to remember.)
RTM has simple, functional navigation and lets you customize your to-do’s with tags, categories, location, duration, URL (if needed), due date and whether or not it’s a repeating task. It can also remind you of to-do’s via e-mail, text message or IM.
It also offers online collaboration/sharing as well as publishing. For example, if your spouse has something he or she wants you to remember he/she can login, put the reminder on your to-do list, and you’ll see it the next time you check.
Perhaps the coolest feature about RTM is the inclusion of Google Gears which lets you go off-line with your list, modify it, and sync it back up once you get back to an Internet connection.
Even after all that, I only reviewed a portion of the features Remember the Milk offers. It’s an excellent tool for organizing those to-do’s and other thoughts you don’t want forgotten. Best of all, the service is free.
If anybody uses Remember the Milk, or wants to check it out and share their thoughts, please leave word in the comments.
