Ta-da Lists + iPhone = GTD Nirvana
Wednesday, September 17, 2008 at 11:21PM 
Problem:
You and your spouse are busy professionals. The two of you share the responsibility to pick up groceries depending on who can swing by the supermarket first. You don't want to duplicate shopping efforts and it's tricky keeping shopping lists in sync when you scribble items on Post-its.
Solution:
Ta-da Lists on an iPhone.
How it works:
Go to Ta-da Lists, make a grocery list and share it with your spouse. When either of you are at the supermarket, access the list from your iPhone and check off the items you buy. Since the list is updated in real-time on the web server, and not just on your iPhone, you'll both have the lastest.
No mess, no fuss, and no paper- todo lists that reside in the cloud.
Ta-da Lists is from 37signals and is free.
Ta-da List is the web's easiest to-do list tool. Make lists for yourself or share them with others. It couldn't be simpler.
"GTD" is David Allen's Getting Things Done action managment methodology.

If you get to the point you want a more complete GTD, take a look at Nozbe and iNozbe (the iPhone webapp). With these applications I can view my entire GTD at work on my Win machine, at home on my Macs and even on my cell phone. And another app lets me call in tasks to my GTD without any writing or typing, great for those thoughts that hit me while driving. I've written about my experiences with GTD in a blog post at http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com/2008/03/27/more-getting-things-done/ John
You can look at this web-based application too:
http://www.Gtdagenda.com
You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, schedules and a calendar.
A mobile version is available too.
