I’m really bad at remembering to use a planner or calendar, rather, I always make to-do lists for each day to keep myself on top of what I need to do. I like just having a list of what needs to be done to refer to and check off as I complete different tasks. One problem though with making my to-do lists is the paper. I go through so much paper and sometimes I lose my list. However, today I found a website that will solve this problem and make my planning and organization better. Rememberthemilk.com is a website that allows users to make online to-do lists that can be accessed anytime.

To use Remember the Milk, you need to sign up (of course) and that’s it! There are different tabs for you to organize your tasks under, personal, study, and work. You simply click on a tab and then type what you need to do. You can prioritize your tasks with different color labels and assign due dates for yourself. There is an option to have a reminder automatically sent to you for your tasks. If you like to have a paper copy of your to-do list or calendar, Remember the Milk allows you to print your task list. You can also sync your account to your Blackberry, or iPhone for on the go access.

Remember the Milk is a really simple site but should be great for staying organized and on top of daily tasks, if you’re like me and have trouble with the paper agendas. There is also an option to upgrade your account to use more features, however there is a monthly charge.
