This article is a great companion article to Womack's article: Foru steps to actually accomplishing tasks and deciding which not to pursue for businesses, although the principles definitely apply to individual as well. <blockquote>Label the purpose of every regular or recurring activity on your quarterly calendar and highlight those activities that are connected with your top five priorities. This simple exercise will reveal where you’re squandering your time.</blockquote>
Jason Womack offers some great basic advice for actually, well, <em>getting things done</em>. Maybe none of the other links on here matter if you don't have the process right? <blockquote>Instead of focusing on having the “right” time management tool or the “perfect” system, place your focus on the process.</blockquote>

TaskToy is a simple and elegant ToDo list manager. I've used/am using <a href="http://www.rememberthemilk.com">Remember the Milk</a>, <a href="http://todoist.com/">ToDoist</a>, and even <a href="http://www.abstractspoon.com/tdl_resources.html">ToDoList</a>. But I like TaskToy for its customizability and usefulness. Not only does TaskToy offer robust ToDo list management, but also a dead simple notes system, a place for links, and built-in Google search.

My contexts are:
@Home
@Office
@Errands
@Waiting - Home
@Waiting - OfficeI keep them in a single Excel sheet with four columns:
Task | Project | Context | Done (date/blank)
Not glamorous, but lightning fast to use with Excel’s built-in autocomplete and filtering, and it keeps a chronological record per project with almost zero effort. Great for reviewing.
