I have already overviewed some ways to get more organized with Google calendar, and I am now planning to start the series reviewing advanced free productivity tools from time to time.
The first tool in the productivity series is RememberTheMilk – a multi-feature productivity tool.

Seems like a useful tool, huh? Please share your thoughts!
The tool was reviewed under SEJ policy.
Very Good article, I have a question How Can I Use These Tools For SEO?
I tried it, used it, and abandoned it. It’s just too complicated. I have been using ‘Anxiety’ for a while but just switched to ‘Check Off’ but only because someone suggested that the code in Anxiety was conflicting with my Mighty Mouse.
Both Anxiety and Check Off enable simple folders or sections for different topics (home, work, my next big adventure, whatever) and they sit there ready to pop into action on the desktop.
I am on a Mac.
For me, anything more than simple is just too complicated, and then I don’t use it.
I’ll try it. But I doubt it will work for me… nothing has yet managed to replace my whiteboard pinned up on a wall in front of my face!
i have tried to use RTM & found it too confusing. Toodledo.com is much easier to use
Great tools thanks for sharing on net. Cheerz :)
If you’d like a tool for managing your time and projects, you can use this application inspired by David Allen’s GTD:
http://www.Gtdagenda.com
You can use it to manage and prioritize your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, schedules and a calendar.
A mobile version is available too.
