Tomorrow.do - A Simple ToDo App That Gets it Done

My Lengthy todo List

Being productive online is hard, especially when there are lots of distractions like social media, funny pictures, videos. Even the thought of playing online games keep me from doing what I have to do. I wanted a way to improve my productivity and found that creating a to do list improves productivity. As a freelancer, we want to get things done as fast as possible so we can either take more jobs to earn more money or allow us to have more time to rest than work.

I tried writing a todo list on paper but I always forgot my todo list and fail miserably because when its time for me to take notes, I couldn't remember what are the things I'll do. Using online todo app seems like a good idea, so I give one a try. I have tried a lot of todo apps like RememberTheMilk, EverNote, SpringPad, NitroTasks, etc but its more of a note taking app than a list that I can keep track on.

Tomorrow.do is different. It is a simple to do list with a virtual notebook. It list things todo today on the left side, then things to do tomorrow on the right side and that's it. No schedule, priority, etc. A simple todo app that gets it done.

I liked Tomorrow.do because when I have to write a list, I just write it. I don't need to worry if it expires or not because if my tasks are not done for the day, it simply moves it for tomorrow. I don't have to manually repeat failed tasks for the day because it recurs on the next day.

Additionally, tomorrow.do has a Chrome App. The app sits on your Chrome browser so when you have something in mind, just click the app and write it. Simple right?

Tomorrow.do is a simple task manager for those that just wants to write a task without worrying it. It is recurring so when you failed a task for the day, it will appear for tomorrow's note. The app also available in iPad, iPhone, and Android.

If you can't do it today, why not do it tomorrow?

Top 4 Career Trends on 2013

According to oDesk CEO Gary Stewarts' prediction for the year 2013, many of us won't be commuting to work, we'll get our jobs in through virtual companies through the internet.

Here are the four career trends we'll see in 2013:

1. Specialists
In the past, specialization was not an important factor because there wasn't just enough volume to support it. Today, there is an open potential market for specialists that are greatly in demand.

2. Custom Catered Education
To support specialization, education will become more customized - breaking it down to a smaller and more focused units of learning. Online training will help professionals get the skills they need to become competitive.

3. Analytic-driven HR
To keep up with the competitive business online, business that are using data to streamline the process will start looking for flexible teams that they can adapt as dynamic change.

4. New skills that doesn't exist yet.
If next year will be all about specialization, the skill to specialize in likely doesn't exist yet.

If this happens then static jobs where you go about doing the same thing over and over again for years will change into a dynamic and more challenging jobs.
