I'm currently fed up with the MS To-Do list outlook tool, Im not sure how other people can put up with such a tool. (Im suing MS Office 2007)

I am more happy with using the reminder app on my Apple iPhone and iPad, which is really encouraging me to buy a Mac, but only for this extra feature?, I would actually buy one If couldn't find a better alternative to MS Outlook's To-Do list.

I have so many tasks now that I'm in the Project Management and Program Coordination World, including some of that extra Resource Management stuff I do on Tuesdays.

I need a better To-Do list tool, what does everyone else use?, how do you find it? and what do you recommend I start to use?

I'm currently making use of Google's Gmail's Tasks tool, which is cool, but not really that user friendly and not PM efficient.

EXTRA: I quick note about a new tool Im trying: http://lifehacker.com/5850928/the-best-to+do-app-for-windows

Hi I AM L, your post is more of a product comparison question and it could be considered a shopping question. PM.SE (and StackExchange in general) discourages questions about tool recommendations as mentioned in the FAQ. – Aziz Shaikh Feb 13 at 7:31
Can you break-out "PM efficient" and list, say, the top 3 requirements for that? – Ashok Ramachandran Feb 13 at 15:45
In general, "how can I..." questions will be on-topic, while "what tool will..." or "what is the best..." questions will typically be closed as Not Constructive. If this question gets closed, please consider refactoring the question to focus on the process rather than the tool and it may get reopened. – CodeGnome Feb 13 at 20:23

Hi IAM, questions that ask others to simply list what software they use doesn't really fit our Q&A model. However, you may edit your post to describe the problem you hope to solve, and then we can review the question and possibly re-open. Please see our faq and How to Ask for further guidance on how to formulate your question. Good luck! :) – jmort253♦ Feb 13 at 20:58

Astrid Task Manager

I like the Astrid Task Manager that runs on the web as well as on my Android phone. Also, I like that the Standard version is open source, even though they have a Premium version with extra features.

I found that it came on top in this Lifehacker survey. And it can run on iPhone and the tablets as well.

However, there isn't a Windows app. Not sure whether that is a deal breaker for you.
