I would love a To Do program that I can manage to use. The problem is that most programs don’t organize the To Do lists enough. Sure some have categories, but that’s just a start. What I would like is a program that has conditional To Dos. For example “Install window trim in kitchen” would only show up after “Buy 2 1x4s for kitch window” was completed. I have a huge number of things that are dependent on others so listing them like this reduces the clutter in my long lists of To Do.

Sliders would be great for many of my big projects. Instead of a checkbox, I could indicate progress on a big To Do by moving a slider from 0% to 100% done. I have a bunch of things to do that I get a little bit done at a time but can never check off the item because it’s not quite done. I think this would motivate me to finish of projects that I’ve already started. I’d say “Hey, look, I already have done a bunch on this one. I should finish it off.”

Another wish list item would be to have my To Do program integrate or even handle Budgeting. Having To Do items that involve money would get done much quicker if I had a view that showed what To Dos I could get done with what I have in my bank account. I had this half way done on a web app that was started as a budget app and was moving towards to do items but I lost a lot of it when my hard drive crashed.

The main idea here is to keep the list down to what can be done immediately. There are plenty of things that have to be done and I’d like to record them so I don’t forget but I just can’t get to them until I have money or do other things first.
