  • Wow, this tool is really fantastic. It's like a PA on the run. If you use it productively, you could probably save 5% of your time easily. 5% of 720 hours a month is 36 hours!
  • That would be nice. I'm always running short of time and anything that helps save time would be great.
  • This tool is indeed the best boss. i think it gets people to follow a routine which is good.
  • This is a handful tool. Maybe personal assistants will be a thing of the past.
  • Nice article! I really enjoy how simple NowDoThis is. Nincha looks cool too -- any hints on what it might be?
  • Thanks. :-) All I can say is that it's based around the idea (or problem) of
    sharing stuff on the web and elsewhere, and this may be a little biased, but
    I see the idea's usefulness beyond social networks, FTP, e-mail, and crappy
    file sharing websites. We're near completion and planning to launch sometime
    this fall (Nov/Dec). Would you like to be included in the 1 week pre-launch
    private beta?
  • That sounds very cool! I'd love to be on the 1 week pre-launch private beta. Where do I signup?
  • I've added your e-mail to the list. :-)
  • For Mac users there is a pretty cool feature called "sticky notes" It's VERY similar, but it sits on your desktop, you can color code and they are small.
  • @ShaneeK: Sticky notes can be useful, but they don't show you one task at a time. I find this the most useful aspect of NowDoThis. Plus the satisfaction of clicking "done".
  • Ah this is great! I've been recently putting my to-do list down on my blackberry, but this I am making my home page to see if it works each time I start a new browser... thanks for the heads up! Hope it helps!
  • and it has tabbing now too
    try it!
    sommat like:
    @now
    @later
    @tomorrow

  • Very cool. I, too, have been looking at all the task management stuff out there so this was an interesting find. I'd like to suggest another tool, though, for you review - SantexQ ( http://www.santexq.com ). Also, great site overall. I like all the reviews you have, very useful.
  • I am slowly loving the idea of it and it comes in handy with the firefox sidebar. Simple interface and nothing beats it by offering a much simpler one.
  • Oh my . NowDoThis sounds great and easy to use ! Thanks for the useful information and tips. I would definitely try it out . Thanks !
  • I just found this. Now I will just do it with NowDoThis by placing it on my FireFox Brower. Great Idea!!!!
  • Theboard.info - We have gathered the most popular warez blogs for your needs - Theboard.info the only place you need to get all the warez you want
  • Its really a captivating idea that has flourish ma mind.. I haven’t seen such a simple tool ever.. It has made my work as straightforward as I always want to.. Thanks Sid Yadav for giving such nice tool and making my tasks so organized..
  • My problem is not just the todo list. Whatever I get done, I get done.
    My problem is figuring out the next day / week / month what I actually DID.
    That way I know what still has to be done or what I can bury for dead (like shovel the snow)
    Right now I use paper (!) and I can tell you what I did by looking at what is crossed off.
    I can also tell you what I really thought was important and never did (marked with stars, highlight, arrows, underline, etc)

    I love the simplicity of this thing. Would like some sort of history, which could be used to start my next days list.
  • Its always to have a to do list or organiser get things done. NowDoThis take it a step further.
  • I've been recently putting my to-do list down on my blackberry, but this I am making my home page to see if it works each time I start a new browser... thanks for the heads up! Hope it helps!

  • Love the simplicity of the tool. Now there will not be lots of sticky notes on my desktop!..Neat!
  • I'm always losing track on what are the necessary stuffs I need to do!Glad to have NowDoThis!
  • It might not be handy for me but I thought its really useful for others!Nice one!
  • Is this only in online mode or we can use it even when we are offline?
  • It's a great idea!I am an absent-minded person and always have tonnes to work on. Everything is so disorganized and by the end of the day.Nothing is achieved!With "Now Do this". I will plan my itinerary first and everything are always done up well!No pressures on what comes next as they only display a task per time.I felt that its really useful!
  • Having it online is good for people who have their computers on 24/7 hours standby mode. So that they are able to check their current tasks every now and then.However I suggest that "nowdothis" could make it into a mobile application and so that almost all people could use it world wide!
  • It is nice to have a task managing tool to manage your day without timing. I remember jotting down task I have to do on papers that have timing assigned. I was so pressured by it and at the end of the day i felt exhausted following the time frame.
  • Now Do This sounds proming, however the onus is till on the user to have discipline to use the tool.
    No action, no gain, no matter what the tool.
  • An extremely helpful tip to anyone who intends to use NowDoThis, is to put it in your Firefox Sidebar (pictured right).
  • Great tool! I have NowDoThis in my Firefox sidebar and it's very easy to use!
  • This tool is really good. Congrats to whoever came up with the idea.
  • HI,
    I was not aware of this. But I will try this. After listening to ur blog I think It is A fantastic tool. Because I also forget my todolist every time. I think it will help me...
  • This looks like a really nice tool
  • IT would turn out even nicer if you actualy try it !
  • Thanks for mentioning nowdothis url, but I think I don't want have more boss, have one boss make me headache, I do not know if have more LOL
  • Great, now we don't need a diary or to-do list. Now we can just "now do this" instead of "just do it"!!!! I think its great and I will give it a try.
