What To-Do App do you use?
Laura,
I looked around and tried lots of applications to replace my Outlook To Do manager that I've used for years. I adapted Outlook with additional fields to make it work the way I wanted to track my To Do items.
I finally heard of OmniFocus from a guys blog '43 folders' who ended up working for the company.
It works on my Macintosh and allows for 'Context' ie, like Errands or on my Mac with Internet, or Home office. So I can just flip to the Errands context and see all the things I need to do not at home or office. When I get to the office I switch to 'Office' context and all those items show up. When I'm at a hotel room and have a fast Internet connection I switch to those.
I use a system that is like the Getting Things Done (google GTD and you'll have LOTS of support) - but I developed this program when I was developing commercial real estate and had lots of little to do things. What I like best is anything I think of gets captured, either directly on my iPhone, into my Mac, or on a 3x5 card always in my pocket.
What is really great with this system, I don't have to remember anything... just be religious in writing down what comes in my head to do... then later when I am ready to work and have time/energy/equipment to work on things they are all there waiting for me.
It just works for me... but I've found most people need to find their 'own' method.

What a wonderful tool for you.
