BETA YOURSELF WUNDERLIST
Relying on sticky notes attached to your face for important tasks? You’d best get this to-do app before Christmas hits. As Craig Grannell explains, it’ll even let you fob stuff off on others…
THE BASICS
■ Make some lists
If you only want a bare-bones to-do manager – or if you burn through tasks at a pace that makes normal people hate you – you can probably stick with Wunderlist’s Inbox. But if you want to organise your tasks, create some lists. You can refine your setup further by dragging one list onto another to group them in a folder. Wunderlist will also make smart lists based on due dates and starred items.
■ Add tasks
Tap the blue ‘+’ button and Wunderlist creates a new task. The app understands natural language input for schedules and notifications, such as ‘Buy Stufftomorrow at 6pm’. To manually assign dates and reminders, use the calendar button (and clock on iOS). By default, new items head to the inbox, but you can select an alternative list before tapping ‘Done’. Or you can add items when already viewing a list.
