We’re fanatics about finding the best and brightest productivity tools. When it comes to managing a busy schedule with multiple projects across different domains, it’s crucial to use tools that help you stay organized, remind you of deadlines, and are always close-at-hand.
There are probably hundreds if not thousands of apps and tools to meet aspects of this challenge, each with varying levels of complexity. We’ve been through dozens of them, including Remember the Milk, Clear, Evernote, Trello, Workflowy, and even the task managers included with Gmail and Outlook. But now we can say with absolute confidence, we have found our favorite tool out there for day-to-day life management.
Meet Todoist. Combining the speed of Remember the Milk with the clean, elegant flow of the latest in user interface improvements, we think Todoist’s sensible approach to managing projects and tasks, complete with reminders and a stellar array of apps and plug-ins.
Here’s a video with a quick overview of Todoist’s many features:

There are many ways you might setup Todoist for real estate. Imagine, for example, that each of your listings represented a “project.” Within that project, you could keep an ongoing list of tasks and reminders, making it easy at glance to see your deal pipeline. With the smart use of a few tags like “open house” or “closing” you could also easily search and group activity.
Check out Todoist for yourself. It’s free to use, though we strongly recommend you consider upgrading to the premium account for a mere $29/year (we did!). It allows attaching files to tasks, mobile/email reminders and more.
