Toodledo, the killer task-list application
by Ryan Carter Jun 18th 2007 at 11:00AM
One of the best features of Toodledo is the distinction between folders (for projects) and contexts (the many hats you wear). Contexts allows only your current frame of mind for work, and doesn't show you your home tasks. This keeps the honey-do list away from your work list, so you aren't thinking about that darn swing-set you have to put up in the middle of working on Mr. The-man's presentation.
If that isn't enough to make you jump over and check it out, they also have a printable tasklist, email alerts for your top tasks (called a hotlist), but also the ability to import/export tasks to iCal, Palm OS, XML, CSV, and text. Task lists can be published to the web if you want to share your inner-workings with the world, and with a non-free but reasonable price ($14.95/year) you can have others edit and append to your task list among other things. Toodledo offers a free 7-day trial of their pro account for your enjoyment.
Wait, there's even more. There is a developer API, it fully supports GTD, tags, history and stats, a scheduler, some goal-setting functions, RSS support, SMS support, WAP support and more. Tasks can be imported from Outlook, Apple iCal, and Remember The Milk. Seldom is there such a complete feature set in a free application. It is a major time-saver for the quick-and-dirty type task person who doesn't want to spend 8 years filling out a task form. If you don't have a solid task-list manager yet, this is the ticket.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Looks great. But I'll only use it when it syncs seamlessly with my PocketPC....

I have been using Toodledo since mid-january, and I love it for many reasons, the biggest being the automatic early morning email of my Hotlist everyday. i only remember things if they are sitting in front of my face, and this program accommodates that style. You can integrate it into almost any program you use on a daily basis.

Toodledo has the one feature I've been dying for that no other similar service seems to have - the rolling forward of uncompleted items.
If I say I need to do something on Tuesday, and I don't mark it as completed, I want it to show up on Wednesday, and every day after that until I mark it as done or reschedule it. Toodledo does that! Every other service I've tried has the task just disappear after the due date, completed or not.
