  Getting Things Done with TodoList

  software freeware taskmanager advise todolist

  • Office is for things to do in office, Meeting is for my meeting time from 6PM to 9PM. So if there is a work that can do only in office, I tag it with category office, if it is some work that I might do in office or do at home I tag it both office and work. Because of that I can find it in my list when I filter it with work and I am working from home.

  • First Step is to save a TodoList and mark different task as different categories. Watch the bottom properties portion of TodoList and you will find the category drop down. Just add the categories that want to associate with a task. Look at the image below. 

      

    
  • I have selected ‘Active’ as the task the need to be done ASAP, ‘Deferred’ as the task that need to looked at later (remember to always select a due date for deferred task), ‘Delegated’ as  the task that I have delegated somehow ( remember to type in the person’s name in the Allocated To field), ‘Draft’ for task that has been entered but not categorized or reviewed, ‘Inactive’ for all items that is not a must do now, but I can review later.

  • Right click on the column header of the task list the image below :

      

    

      

    Click ‘Select columns’ and you will see the column selection screen. See the fields that I have selected to see on image below …

  • Other Capabilities

      

    The other features that I loved about this software are as follows

      

    1. I can encrypt the list with a password   

      

    2. It can import tasks from Freemind, GanttProject, My Life Organized, outlined text file or another todo list

      

    3. It can also export to html, Freemind, GanttProject, plain text file, Spreadsheet or and iCalendar file. You can select columns or the tasks that you want to export.   

      

    4. It has plugin support

     

      

    You can also download this calendar plugin from codeproject and have a nice calendar like the picture below. I had to black ink over some entries for privacy reasons. But this gives you an overall look of the timeline. Also you may even write a plugin to sync with outlook since the file is only xml.

      

    Have fun!

  TodoList is not a software specially made for GTD but it does it better than the specialist softwares.
