Rather than scribbling a to-do list on the back of an old envelope or Post-It notes, the free app from Todoist makes it easy to create and manage lists. Todoist lets you do more than just creating lists – you can add deadlines and assign priorities, color code tasks and even make nested tasks to help break down something large into smaller, more manageable tasks. An additional benefit is that your tasks and lists will synchronize across all your devices, so you can stay organized regardless of where you are.
