A few posts ago I had said that I would be starting up a series of recommendations of various things I find useful. Well after starting that new job of mine it has been put on the back burner for a little while until now. So I hope this recommendation series can help you too. As it so happens today’s recommendation is reminding me everyday that I wanted to write a post about doing this very task.

The service of today is called Remember the Milk (www.rememberthemilk.com), which I have been using for about 2 years now. The name is quite a quirky one isn’t it? Well it is actually quite cool too, because it comes from the basic need for people to remember to get the milk when they go shopping.

But it is not simply a remember service to remember to get things either. Lately, I use it to remind myself to pay off my loans, haha. Or to remind myself to do certain tasks, because that is what it does best, task management. As said by the staff:

“Managing tasks is generally not a fun way to spend your time. We created Remember The Milk so that you no longer have to write your to-do lists on sticky notes, whiteboards, random scraps of paper, or the back of your hand. Remember the Milk makes managing tasks an enjoyable experience.”
