]]> Before I go into the topic of this post, I have two questions for you:

  • Are you online a lot?
  • Do you have a to do list?

If you answered yes to those two questions and want to simplify your life, you have to try NowDoThis.

nowdothisNowDoThis, created by Jakob Lodwick and William Cotton, is the simplest to do list I have ever seen. The site shows only 3 things on a white background:

  • a task
  • a “done” button
  • an “edit list” link

To use the site, first click on “edit list” and enter the list of things you need to do, in the order that you want to do them. Save your list, and the first item appears. When you’re done with that, click “done” and the next task is shown. Once you go through your list, you’re rewarded with a very satisfying “All done!”.

The beauty of this tool is its simplicity. I’ve been guilty of stressing out over the next chore (what’s for dinner?) even as I’m still in the middle of doing another (laundry load #2). Concentrating on only one task at a time has helped me keep my mind uncluttered and conserve mental energy. With this tool, I can forget about the other tasks on my list because I literally don’t see them! And it feels so good to click on that “done” button.

NowDoThis also comes with tabs. You can customize these tabs to suit your needs, whether it’s to manage several projects or to keep a list of things you need to do later.

Done.
