Using Remember The Milk with the Get Organized! System

One place for everything you have to do, everything you want to do, and everything you aspire to be.

We live in a world of unlimited opportunities. It’s both a blessing and a curse. We like to have choices about the direction of our days. On the other hand, too many choices can result in stress, the fear we’re forgetting something, and the inability to move forward on any front.

What if all of the choices could be trapped in one easily searchable place? What if each item showed up on the exact day you wanted to see it? What if repeating tasks functioned on “autopilot”? What if you could organize all of the emails that embed “to-dos”? What if you could add new opportunities with your voice as soon as they occur to you?

Since 2001, my task list has been digital. In a world where so much information arrives digitally, it just makes sense that we have a system that takes what arrived digitally and keeps it digital.

I never have to re-write the list. Nothing falls through the cracks. It’s too easy not to do.

Over the years, good things are replaced by better things. In 2001, a Palm synced to Outlook housed my productivity suite. Later, my information lived in Outlook synced to my Blackberry. Then, Toodledo became my task manager on my computers, phone, and tablet.

Today, I use Remember The Milk. This guide serves two purposes:

1. To give you an introduction to this service. 

2. To give you a methodology for using it.

You won't have to spend time figuring out the settings and what they mean. I walk you through the process step-by-step. 

If you’re looking for total control over your time and the peace of mind that nothing is falling through the cracks, you’re in the right place.
