Can’t Lose This List…

Can’t Lose This List…

July 15th, 2009 @ 3:37 pm by Mrs. Gloss

I love making lists. I make lists of lists.

I am also, unfortunately, very likely to lose said lists.

With the wedding only one month away (eep!) these lists are becoming more and more precious. Lists of things left to do, things to remember to bring, people I need to call, etc.

So, I’ve made my lists digital:

tasks

Enter the brilliance of Google.

They already have the reader (best thing ever!), and the ability to share documents and calendars (so helpful!) and now they have TASKS. I’ve basically gone and entered everything left on my Knot checklists, checklists from my DOC, and other random things I think of during the day. The benefit of having them synced with my Google account is that they are right there, staring me in the face all day, looming over my head, saying, “Complete me.”

You can check them off when they are completed (such a good feeling!), set deadlines, add notes and make multiple lists.

Are you a list keeper? How do you keep track of upcoming wedding tasks?

Mr. Bear Cub put the first thing on my task list: “Kiss Mr. Bear Cub”

I started keeping a list in my blackberry task app - so great, especially when a pen isn’t handy!

I just noticed the tasks button today! I’m totally going to check this out. It would probably be a lot more effective than my current post-it habit. Post-its everywhere!

I don’t know how I missed it, but I just saw Tasks yesterday and started importing my to-do list this morning and I LOVE it. What will Google come up with next?

The tasks feature is great. You can also put it on your google calendar for a “daily” to-do list.

yesss. if you use Mac I recommend the HitList. It’s free and in beta mode and you can set things to only show up on a certain date, say a few weeks from now, so you don’t forget about it and it doesn’t clutter your mind until then.

I have a little moleskine notebook that I carry around me. It’s a little less techno-savy, but it’s fairly hard to lose.

I am a project manager by trade - so have been using MS Project to track everything. Maybe a little OCD, but it works!

Ah! Thanks for sharing this! I’m a list maker as well. I have ADD so I have to keep notebooks and post-its around so I don’t forget something 5 seconds after I think of it.

I just saw the Tasks icon appear on my gmail today…I’m hooked. Of course, I make lists on paper, lists in my planner, lists on my gmail…you name it, I have lists in pretty much every place possible. Don’t you love the satisfaction you get when you can just cross something off???

I have a small notebook that has all of my wedding notes and tasks…I keep it in my purse so that I have it 24/7! I’ve also started keeping notes on my iPod Touch, but then I have to type everything out and that takes awhile on that touchscreen keyboard!
