Many moons ago there weren’t a lot of options for good web based task management systems. Being the nerd I am I tried a few and fell fast for Toodledo<\/a>. Not because of it’s pretty face, or exotic sounding name, but because it does just about everything and more.<\/p>\n

But, time moved on and I couldn’t get my wife to understand and appreciate this fling (that, and the collaboration functionality is a paid feature). So, to make peace we decided to use Wunderlist (i.e. it was the only one I could get her to use) which was great for a time, but then it was bought out by Microsoft, the site started getting slow, and the announcement was made that they would pull the plug and force everyone over to their new todo app (which to date doesn’t have a fraction of the features of Wunderlist).<\/p>\n

So, lost in the woods and dragging my tail between my legs I logged back into my Toodledo<\/a> account after being gone for too long. There was the fast, no-nonsense, easy to use task system I loved from the beginning. And new features had been added since I ran off in the night like lists and habit tracking.<\/p>\n

Now, I’m back in love with the features that are sorely lacking or overly burdensome in most of the task management systems available. Things like start dates, start and due times (yes, imagine that – things need to be started or completed at specific times), duration planning, timers, priorities, status, and so much more! Add in the ability to create custom saved searches and it’s the engineers dream.<\/p>\n

In addition, with the new habit tracking feature there’s one less app that I need on my phone, and because Toodledo<\/a> “gets it”, the functionality is also available on the web and in the app.<\/p>\n

In the end, if you’re tired of feeling like a sad sack with your trailer trash task management system that only lets you track tasks, and due date, and maybe a description I would strongly suggest you check out Toodledo<\/a> and start up a new flame!<\/p>\nPlease remember to subscribe to the newsletter<\/a> to stay up to date!<\/i>\n\nYou or someone you know looking to buy or sell?<\/i>\n<\/a>\nDisclaimer: Thoughts and opinions are my own, and do not reflect the views of any employer, family member, friend, or anyone else.
