Remember the Milk just got a lot Better

Cool stuff needs to stop happening on the Internet while I'm sleeping. I always get caught up in checking it out during the morning and I'll never get out the door on time for school. This cool stuff is super awesome. Remember the Milk added tagging, searching, and smart lists. My brain is going crazy while thinking up all the new possibilities that are... umm... possible.

(after classes and playing around with the new RTM features)

I just got done tagging all of my tasks and making new smart lists. It's great. I'm not sure how my organization system will work out, but who cares? I can just make new smart lists tomorrow based on whatever criteria I think I'll need. I'll never be able to get anything done with all these features to fiddle around with. It's wonderful. My whole life is on Remember the Milk now, and I usually don't put my whole life on any single thing, other than Gmail maybe. That reminds me, does anybody still need a Gmail invite, because I have a bunch? I guess by now everyone who wants Gmail already has it, but I guess if you want to finally jump on the bandwagon and need an invite, then leave me a comment here.

But back on topic, RTM. I now have loads of lists. I have Inbox, Calendar (for specific deadlines), Family (a shared list with my family), Next Actions, Projects, Someday/Maybe, Sent, Buy (things I'm thinking about getting, sorta a wish list), NA:GTD (next actions in my implementing GTD project, which seems funny that I created a project in my GTD system to help me implement GTD, and I still haven't finished the GTD book), NA:Web (next actions for my various web site projects), Someday:GTD, Someday:Web (for my maybes related to those projects), and UnTagged (to catch tasks that I forgot to tag). That was a long sentence that would probably work better in a list format (not ironic but sorta funny), but I don't feel like formatting the list because I add entries in pure HTML. I'm just a nerd like that. Oh yeah, the last six lists are smart lists, which means they're search criteria that were saved as a list, and they get updated in real time as tasks meet or don't meet the criteria. They're like iTunes smart playlists, which is probably where they borrowed the name from.

By the way, if you didn't know, GTD stands for Getting Things Done, and is a popular productivity system described in a book of the same name by David Allen. RTM is (especially now with the new features) really well suited for the GTD system, since GTD is a lot about making lists. So you should really read Getting Things Done, and then join Remember the Milk. You'll be more productive and less stressed. That's the goal of the book anyway. I think it works.
