Limes with Orange

I'm a list person. I don't know how people manage to make it through their days without a to-do list of some kind. I usually write down my list the night before, so I can go to bed with a head empty of all that prosaic stuff… all the better to dream fantastic dreams. Otherwise I dream of things like leaky roofs, piles of paper attacking me, you know… not the Hollywood blockbusters of entertainment type of dreams.

Anyway, I just discovered this super easy to use downloadable software To-do List application (sorry Mac people… Windows only). It just sits on your desktop or in your system tray and you can check things off or add new things throughout the day. Or you can print it off and take the list with you. And it's so, so easy to use.

At the moment, I use a spiral bound notebook that is essentially a collection of to-do lists. I kind of like being able to flip back and see when I did something or if there's anything I missed. But with this To-do List app, I'm not sure yet whether it keeps any sort of archive (because I doubt it's a feature that many people would care about for something as mundane as a list) but at least you don't have to keep transferring those unfinished projects to a new list. It'll just stay on your list until it's finally done.

So maybe I should just try this program out for the 60 day trial period and see if I can't save a few trees with this digital To-do list.
