Hi
I currently get a lot of unrelated tasls to do, both BAU and project related (and I know I'm not unique there!). ATM I remember and successfully complete all of this by managing my workload in my head but I am looking to use some sort of web app to help with this, like Todoist.


What do you recommend?

If it matters, I work in IT Ops.

Thanks

Yipper

My team use Wrike. I like it, but haven't tried anything else apart from paper and pen!

Ditto. Couldn’t live without it, and it’s collaborative so you can have pages that the team can add to or have your own private ones

Another vote for onenote, which is great. Used on a Pen enabled tablet it is awesome. It has com0letley replaced paper for me. The bonus that you can search the one note books makes it invaluable.

Also have a look at the Getting Things Done approach. I use onenote, with tasks in outlook following a GTD lite approach.

I works really well and tends to stop 3am thinking sessions.

I use Wunderlist, it's a pretty simple to do list app, but you can have a list for work, a list for home, a shopping list, a list of books to read etc...
