Organise your family tasks: Remember the milk for your family 2009/10/27

More and more often my partner and I would like to send each other todos. Why? Because we would like to remind each other what we need to decide, to organize or to take care of together. Such todos can be quite simple, e.g. we need to call someone, arrange for somebody, or to book holidays. Maybe it sounds ridiculous, but we got phases when we work too much and then it helps to keep track of our family-stuff. There is also an application on the web to help you: Remember the milk.

 

My requirements for a family todo application on the web are:

1. I can access it via Internet or from my mobile.
2. I can get notifications and reminders by e-mail or on my mobile.
3. I can send todos to other family members (delegate!).
4. The application is simple, fast, and can be handled with shortcuts.
5. I can have my todos grouped by topics.
6. The service is for free as I don’t want to pay for it.

 

Is Remember the Milk the right one?

Remember the Milk (RTM) is for free. It helps you to organise your daily tasks and manage them. You can send them to other people and keep track of them. You can access from your mobile or in your iGoogle or directly at RTM’s homepage. There are also some additional features, such as access via Blackberry, Gmail (Firefox!) or iphone (this is not for free). You are a lot faster by using shortcuts and the notification system works smoothly.

 

Critics about Remember the Milk

I would like to synchronize my todos with outlook but unfortunately this is not possible (at the moment).
