Tada List, the GTD addict's to-do list
I don't know about you, but I'm constantly walking around with too many things in my head. "Do this", "Read this book", "Buy flowers for wife", "start project Y" and so forth. It was really weighing me down, until I read a fantastic book that all the geek kids are talking about, "Getting Things Done" by David Allen. Allen's ideas for productivity are fantastic, but they all involved getting all of those little "open loops" of things to do out of your head and into some list system that you stick to. The book is agnostic about what format your lists should live in, but I'm not. I'm a geek, and I spend all my time either in front of, or very near to, a computer. So what did I find to catch all my open loops? Tada Lists. Tada Lists is a clean, simple and very functional AJAX based to do list manager. It meshes well with the GTD system, or it can fit any other multi list system you follow.
Tada list is free, but the developers (those smart kids at 37signals) encourage users of Tada Lists to check out their for-pay web applications, Backpack and Basecamp.

The basic version of Backpack is free also.

C'mon Google -- give us a task list already. Task sites are helpful but it would be nice if I didn't have yet another site to visit in order to stay organized. I look forward to the day that my Google Calendar, Google Task List, and Google Contacts are combined into one site and can thus keep me organized from any PC. And since AOL's Xdrive announcement, I'm looking forward to my 5GB Google online storage in October.

I'm with Chris on this one. If I can get my email, calendar and tasks all in one place (and better integrated) what would be awesome.
