I have taken to using Remember the Milk for managing the tasks that I have, at least this way I don’t forget to put the trash out. If you get a pro account then you can use the free app on iphone/itouch to manage your tasks. You can also setup an email address to receive tasks I configured it so that it reminds me at midnight for the the tasks which I have to do the following day, and altogether helpful site for someone like me who has an appauling memory.
