This article published last week at Wired is rather alarmingly titled "Why Can't Anyone Make a Decent Freaking To-do App?" It looks at how the majority of the consumer public is not getting value from the litany of task management software options available out there, and contends that many people are returning to paper to help them: Most of the myriad to-do list apps are fine. Some of them are very good. But none of them has ever solved my problem--your problem--of having too much to do, too little time to do it, and a brain incapable of remembering and prioritizing it all. Which explains why the old ways remain so popular. I'm not sure there I agree that there are "no freaking decent to-do apps," but I take the writer's point. It does seem surprising that, at this late date, we still don't have a clear winner in a software category that seeks to fulfill such a basic, universal human need.
