A New (And Helpful) To Do List

As busy as mar­keters are it makes a world of dif­fer­ence to have a to do list of some sort. It’s actu­ally essen­tial the busier we get.

Every­one has a dif­fer­ent ver­sion of their own to do list. I use a note­book where I write down what needs done and ideas I have. It’s a bit prim­i­tive but it works won­ders. You can also use google cal­en­der to send you reminders of things you need to do. There tons of ways make a to do list, it just has to work for you.

So when I come across a new way to make a to do list, I had to share. I came across Teux Deux a cou­ple days ago and have spent some time play­ing with it. It’s nice. And sim­ple. Which is why I like it. It’s basi­cally like my use of the note­book, except neater and a bit more organized.

It’s extremely easy to use, which is a good thing. It takes about 3 sec­onds to sign up for it and start using it. There is a col­umn for every­day of the week, and all you do is type in what your task is and hit enter. It’s added to the list for that day. To get a bet­ter idea, check out the video from their web­site:

Easy right? I like that it moves unfin­ished tasks to the next day. It’s sim­ple to use and almost too easy. But it saves time, which we can always use. My only com­plaint as of right now is not being able to edit your entries or even pri­or­i­tize them. It’s not really a big deal though as you can just retype it and get rid of the old one. Besides they are tak­ing sug­ges­tions and feed­back so that may very well change in the future.

Here are a cou­ple ideas to imple­ment Teux Deux:

Make Teux Deux your home­page. that way when­ever you open up your browser you have your to do list star­ing right at you.

While it doesn’t actu­ally pri­or­i­tize your tasks, you could use a lit­tle code to pri­or­i­tize each task. Add a num­ber or let­ter or some­thing after each task. For exam­ple, you have 3 tasks you need to put in for Mon­day. Retweet some tweets, work on ebook, check stats (I know, a very sim­ple exam­ple, but bear with me). Instead of just putting the tasks in like that, add a num­ber afterwards.

Retweet some tweets #2
work on ebook #1
Check Stats #3

Or some­thing like that. Just make it work for you. If you need to pri­or­i­tize this could be a way to use it with the con­ve­nience of Teux Deux.

All in all it’s a handy appli­ca­tion that I think I’ll be using quite often. I’ve tried a lot of dif­fer­ent things for my to do lists and the only thing that has really worked for me is my note­book. This might just a lit­tle bet­ter though.
