I just find it tough to keep organized given my mind very rarely rests and I have a ton of stuff on my plate and constantly is being pulled in different directions. I had thought about ways to better organize myself and others around me (hmm… it might be the other way around where people are trying to get me more organized). Anyways, I’ve tried to use apps like Basecamp from 37 Signals, Outlook’s task management features, and Zoho Projects (We are big fans of the Zoho guys). While some of these system work fairly well, I still think it’s a pain to input stuff into the system because I have to alt-tab into that browser window and then input my tasks.

I currently use Google Desktop and using the sidebar feature I can see at all times my Todo list within Google Desktop. I have a 2nd monitor and my todo list is always visible. I think in order to manage todo list management work well, the solution has to have a desktop component where it’s always in front of you. I don’t have time to do this right now but I would totally build a todo list manager that has a desktop component and with visibility/edit capability for the people that I work with.

We might just have to build this if no one comes out with it.
