Earlier this week we asked you to share your favorite todo list apps and now we’re back to highlight your favorites.
By far and away the tasks function in Outlook got the most nods.

Crucial, for sure.
Toodledo employs the GTD and Franklin Covey methods of organization/prioritization, AND has tags.
There is a free version that is great for most people, I am using the pay version which is only $14 a YEAR. I
Free, mobile, and fluid with which organization system you use? Sounds good to us.
Astrid was another popular choice with the majority of readers syncing to Google Calendar. Charlie writes:
