a less scary to do list
Posted by Annie Tsai

I get very overwhelmed when I look at my daily "TO DO" list, even if it's a very short one-- so many things to do, all those action items staring back at me, screaming for my attention. Which one do I do first?!


Enter nowdothis.com - the most simple to do list app ever. It's completely web-based and super simple to use. I love that there is no sign-up involved. You just click "edit list" to enter all your tasks. After you click "save", the first item on your list shows up as one big line of text... and that's it. Nothing else is on the screen to distract you or stress you out, just the "done" button to keep you motivated. After you click "done", the next item on your list appears, and on it goes until you've completed your entire To Do list. It's so simple, yet brilliant. A couple other similar sites popped up around the same time: Next and What Shall I Do Now, but I think NowDoThis is the quickest to get started with. Excuse me now, I must go eat my cookies.
