I found my To-Do progam

I've been looking for a great To-Do program for a while.  Google Tasks was promising, because I've usually got Gmail open in one tab, but it just never worked for me.  It took up a small corner of the screen, so if you've got 50+ items on a list, which is easy when you're trying to capture "open loops" like David Allen's Getting Things Done system recommends, you have to scroll through a large list in an unwieldy window.  And the fact that it shares the screen with your email inbox and–quite likely–Google Chat buddy list, means that you're fighting distractions every time you look at your To-Do list.

Google doesn't publicize this, but they have a website for Tasks.  It's used on smart phones, where you can't split the screen between email and a To-Do list.  Here it is.  It looks very much like your inbox, but for tasks.  No distractions, no frills.  You can organize your tasks into projects on the side, like Gmail labels.  Perfect for me.
