How do you make a "to-do" list that keeps you on task? Are you still writing in an agenda book or day planner? Do you use a Blackberry or other smart phone to sync your Outlook tasks, so you can connect to them while mobile? Is it working?

I know how busy life can be. Managing a career, a family and a personal schedule can feel like building an intricate pyramid. Each layer of tasks is interdependent but independent. One slip in the carefully built layers of plans can have a domino effect on the rest of your tasks. 

It's like getting up and stubbing your toe in the morning. If you let it, the day will just continue to snowball from the get-go.

Take a normal, busy life and add the sale of your house to your schedule. Suddenly, your former busy life has never looked so good. How are you going to manage dance lessons for the kids, grocery shopping, dog walking, working, working, working and maybe even manage a few nights of sleep--all while making sure your house is in "builder showcase" shape?

Enter this fun web application, Remember The Milk. I just love it. I can create to-do lists, and I can organize the lists by using tags instead of lame, inefficient folders. For those who need a visual, the tasks can be mapped. I can take my lists with me. 

When friends asks me to remind them, Remember The Milk does it for me.

So, busy real estate buyer, seller, homeowner--get the application and give yourself a breather. CDNet loves it, Apple loves it, Google Gears gets it.

Download and use it. You'll dig it too.
