I don't know about you, but I've always had a hard time keeping my to-do list in front of my eyes, especially since i am on the move a lot. I've tried notepads (great as long as I'm sitting at my desk), dayplanners (hassle to carry around), iphone apps (love the integration, but you have to open them to see the list).
All of these are options that work - but not quite as fast and efficient as I'd like. My current setup is a combo of Orchestra (get it here) and Evernote (get Evernote here): Orchestra keeps my 'long list' with due dates and people that tasks are assigned to, and Evernote has a nifty format tool that allows you to create check-boxes in your list, so i put my daily check list on an Evernote.
But still, i have to open Evernote on my phone/ipad/mac to see the list. Then it hit me - why not use a screen-shot of my Evernote as my iPhone lock screen? Then all i have to do is hit the home button, and there's my list. It's quick and easy:
- refresh my to-do list in the morning
- get a screen grab (press the 'home' and 'power' button at the same time)
- go to my photos, and set the screen grab as my lock screen.
- bam - instant glimpse of my to-do list.
The only downside is its not updated, but i can usually remember what i have already done, and it only takes a few seconds to grab a new screen grab if i need to.
enjoy!
