Planning a wedding takes tons of organization, and everyone has her own way of handling all the details. Me? I’m an extreme list maker. Whether it’s going grocery shopping and making a list in the order I would actually pick up the items based on the layout of the store (produce, perishables, grocery, frozen—I said I was an extreme list maker!) or just my regular work to-do list, writing down tasks and crossing them off when they’re done makes me happy. While a regular piece of paper (college ruled, of course) used to do the job just fine, I have recently embraced technology and moved my to-do list online.

I recently adopted Toodledo for both my wedding and normal-life lists and it’s been great, so I thought I’d spread the word. Here’s why I love it so:

1. It’s free-ninety-nine! You can sign up for a free account online and start making lists really easily. You can assign deadlines and a priority level to each item and simply check things off the list when you’ve completed them.
2. There is an iPhone app. I usually shy away from apps that aren’t free, but at $3.99, this one is totally worth it. You can add or check off tasks when you’re on the go, and the online and iPhone versions sync back and forth so you always have the most up-to-date list. What I love the most about the app is that you don’t need an Internet connection to use it. A lot of times I’ll add items to my list while I’m on the subway, which you can’t do if you are just using the online version, and when I get above ground again, I can sync the lists back up.
3. Your “Hotlist” is e-mailed to you every morning. Basically, you decide the priority level and deadline range for the items that appear on your Hotlist. An e-mail is sent to you every morning detailing these tasks. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen, “Book a DJ” in my inbox. It will come off of that Hotlist at some point, I just know it!

How are you managing your infinite list of things to do?
