Using GMail as a ToDo list

Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!
GMail

At the beginning of the semester I wrote a post about staying organized with tasks lists, etc. One method I did not mention, but might be most prevalent, is GMail. GMail is one of about 4 websites I check constantly, making it a great way to check my to do list.

Usually when someone asks me to do something, I have them email me or email myself a reminder. That will stay in my inbox until it gets done. And I hate having a lot of stuff in my inbox. This coupled with email reminders from Remember the Milk, I usually know all of the stuff I need to do at any given time, and when my inbox starts to fill I know it’s to to crack down.

What do you think? Gmail a good tasks list- what’s your method? Later!
