This list keeps track of any items I’m waiting for including Kickstarter projects, deliveries, book and music release dates and other things like that. Putting items in here gets them off my mind into a place where I can review regularly. There are often things I am thinking about doing or getting which are either just ideas or not feasible right now. These will appear on my weekly smart list as they need to be addressed. For example, every week I review my finances and every month I review my projects list. All of these to-dos are recurring, so as soon as I check them off they return for the next date. Habitsĭaily, weekly, and monthly habits are stored here. I regularly review this list to add due dates or subtasks. Pretty much anything goes, as long as doesn’t fit into any of my other lists. ActionsĪnything that takes longer than a couple of minutes goes from the Inbox and into here. The way I use inbox is in a similar way to my email: it’s a great collection point, but it should be regularly emptied – either by doing the to-do, or organising it into one of my folders. I often put links or other small reminders to myself in here and check them off without ever organising them into folders.
I try to keep my inbox fairly minimal, so I regularly review it. The Inbox is where I collect any of my to-dos as I record them. Now Wunderlist is part of my Action Management System and vital to how I get stuff done. Integration with Slack and Sunrise has been useful, but I’m still waiting on integration with Outlook (coming soon) and IFTTT. The latest new feature was a Wunderlist API. I like working through to-dos in due-date order, across all of the lists. This is where I spend most of my time when actually doing things. Smart views let me order the to-dos by today or this week. It features recurring to-dos, subtasks, reminders, due dates, multiple lists and folders to organise them.
The free version does more than other apps, and it’s totally cross platform with first-class apps for Apple’s platforms (including Watch), Android, Windows and the web. I thought it was about time I switched from Outlook, so I gave it a shot.Ī year later and I’m still using it every day. I had heard of Wunderlist through sites like Lifehacker and The Verge, and in 2014 6Wunderkinder released a new real-time sync engine as well as new beta versions for Windows Phone and Windows 8. Since Windows Phone 7 came out, Microsoft’s mobile offerings for Outlook tasks have been… sub-optimal. I had been looking at a replacement for Outlook tasks for the longest time.
