If one of the Google task-interfacing tools put that in their app logic instead, it'd be great.

That possibility had not occurred to me. I'm gonna have to start looking at iOS apps for that functionality, I think.

Eta: two possibilities that I will evaluate over the next few days, awesome.

So my to do setup is not using one app. No one app can do it for me. Omnifocus (Not sure if it is on Android) was built with GTD in mind, but the interface I have found to be not the way my mind works.

I use google calendar (and I have a specific calendar for this) for reminders for recurring bills. I need recurring bills to be in a separate area from work and other to dos or I get confused.

Recently, I have been using evernote notes as to dos. They provide alarms for each note that pop up on my phone, so that has been working really well. And I can have separate to do lists for projects and areas of my life.

I use iphone Reminders or Google Tasks for shopping and errands because it is easier to check things off. I might go back to Any.Do for daily tasks, errands, and shopping, but Any.Do got a little cluttered for me so I had to abandon it.

I use Remember the Milk for GTD. I have lists for each of my action contents named with @, like @home or @computer. I have a list for Projects where I use P: as a prefex. I have a goals list, a someday/maybe list and a few other random lists like shopping and a general purpose checklist.

I used to use tags to link the tasks to the projects but now I don't bother. Regular review of the action and project lists helps me find the projects that don't have a next action.

[link] is a more complicated way of setting up GTD in RtM.

After a quick look at the two apps I found, the "recurring tasks" functionality is really just repeating every day/week/etc. which is not really what I want, but still more than Google Tasks so I might try them for a bit anyhow.

For me, this is just for work stuff. I have Omnifocus for daily life and that's working fine for me, and shopping is just a whole other ball of wax. My work e-mail and calendar is already Google-based, so if i can make Google Tasks work for me that would be best. Perhaps after this week's orientation I will be better equipped to figure out how to do that...

I use to do list very lightly and Google Task Manager is good enough for me. But it wont likely serve for y'all.

I bought a Nook HD+ yesterday after my original kindle fire gave up the ghost on a drive - we need it for last ditch Elmo distracting on the return drive.

It is a pretty darn good tablet. I would say it compares favorably with the original iPad in size and power,and what it lacks in camera it makes up for in removable storage. The default home screen is a little bit reading focused for those like me that do not plan to use it for that, but it isn't nearly as bad in that way as the Kindle Fire interface - it isn't that different from the standard Android launcher, in that you can use widgets and stuff by default. I did decide to install Nova launcher just to fit more icons on the screen, but it would have been fine with the normal home. And the inclusion of Google play means I had the option of replacing the launcher and keyboard easily!

So basically I paid $160 for a 9 inch android tablet that is pretty speedy, runs Android 4.0, has quite a nice screen, and has upgradeable storage so I can put lots of movies on it. I am fully satisfied.

I was doing really peacefully well with my current status of tablets, and...it was good.

And then I saw a review of the 10.1 Note, and all stability was lost, and peace in the land became a distant memory,

But, no! I am going to be a responsible adult and not replace something (or things) that are doing pretty damned well.

But! Pressure sensitive stylus input! That is as close to a Cintiq as I'm going to get! God, that's hot...

I love the stylus on my Note 2 but there isn't the app support one might hope for yet. Though the Lecture Notes app is very awesome for some uses and ezPDFreader is a decent PDF annotator. I am still hoping for OneNote pen support one of these days.

Of course I don't draw. There are definitely some options out there for those who do.

That's what is making my mouth water. Multiple windows active and visible--also kinda sexy,

Toodledo has some GTD aspects and is pretty customizable. I *think* it has recurring tasks. Pretty sure. I like that you can star tasks and then only show the starred list, because I get distracted/overwhelmed by long lists. You can also set priority, status (waiting for), and some other things.

Okay, I have the Gmail tabs now.

I don't hate them but I'm having trouble getting my previous filters to play nicely. I think the culprit is that everything in the tabs is counted as Inbox, so anything I've configured to "Label X and Skip Inbox" will not get sorted into them.
