While at ZendCon07 I attended a talk by Eric David who was giving a lecture on Project Management. During his speech he plugged a web application called Remember the Milk that he used for task management. While at the office, Microsoft Outlook does a great job of keeping all my tasks organized and it works seamlessly with my Blackberry so I always have access to my tasks.

My problem has always been that I don’t want to store my personal tasks on my work’s computer. So for my personal to-do lists I have taken myself back to the stone age of paper and pen. This works fine when I’m at home, but when I’m out around town and think of something I need to do I have no place to jott it down so I don’t forget. Enter Remember The Milk.

Adding a task to my task list is as simple as sending an email. When I log in later I can then file it and send appropriate due dates. Not to mention it has a mobile interface, send reminders via sms/email, syncs with google, work offline with google gears, organize tasks via tags, etc. It also has a very slick Web2.0 interface with a ton of nifty tricks. Did I forget to mention that the entire service is free?

The developers over there did a great job with this application. Anyone looking for a great new way to manage their tasks on the go should give it a shot.
