Productivity is pretty essential for anyone running an online business. And especially with marketing. We are all pretty busy and anything that can help make things easier is a big help. So when I came across Todoodlist, I had to get it. I’m glad I did. It’s all about being a bit more productive with your projects, but not in the way you might expect.
In today’s world technology is an integral part of everyday life. But as Todoodlist points out, are all these handy little devices really making our lives easier or complicating things? Todoodlist outlines some great systems that involve no technology but something that has been around for a very long time. A pencil and paper.
This ebook really kind of opened my eyes a bit. And even though I do use paper more then I do some kind of device for my to do lists, there are still some awesome ideas in here.
There are tons of devices such as the iphone, or pda to keep track of your to do list. And there are even more programs that you can use on your computer or online to help you keep track of your tasks. These are all supposed to make our lives easier. But as author Nick Cernis points out, are these doing anything that a simpler system can’t handle?
And this is what Todoodlist is all about. Using a much simpler system instead of depending some complicated piece of technology.
Let’s go over one of the systems in Todoodlist:
To make a todoodlist you basically make a simple outline of your project. And then add what you need to do work towards getting the project done. Then you use different shapes to keep track of your progress and what you need to do next. It sounds more complicated than it really is. Think of it as a mind map for your to do list.
This does two things: It creates an outline that you can make a quick glance at to see where you are and what you need to do. And it also creates focus and helps finish the project more effectively.
This is just one of the techniques included in the book and the others are just as cool. This book has quite a few really good ideas in it that I think can be a great help to everyone.
Besides the content itself, I wanted to mention that it’s a great read. Nick Cernis has some nice writing style that’s full of wit and entertaining to read. And it’s an easy read too. Very simple to get through. I like that in a book, it’s educational and entertaining.
All in all this is a great read and highly recommended. Some of the ideas in here will be a great help bringing productivity in our busy lives. And gain some extra time back. Which is something everyone can use.
Click here to get the ebook and let me know what you think. No it’s not free, but it is cheap and more than worth the price.

To Do lost seems a good way to be organized. Here are some free alternatives I have tried:
1. HiTask: Simple and fast.
2. OpenGoo: It is not only a to do list but a full office suite. It is fast and easy to use. Also lets make repetitive tasks(like I have “Comment on 3 Blogs Daily!“

I bought Todoodlist a while ago, and I thought it was great. It really got me thinking about what I was doing. I was using all sorts of software/systems to help me remember and get things done.
Now, I’m back to using pen and paper.
Great ebook.
