Recommend good lightweight Task Managment applications for PC

Question

Can anyone recommend a good task management application for PC? I used to use Palm Desktop and loved it but now I use a Black Berry and Outlook at work, however I find Outlook's task functionality fairly painful to use. Going back to Palm Desktop could work but I really just need something that does tasks management very well and is not too heavyweight.

On my Mac at home I've been looking at OmniFocus which seems fairly decent but it is a Mac only application and I really need something for the PC I use at work.

Answer 1

Google Calendar supports tasks (new feature, very bare bones), or you can use the RememberTheMilk site/gmail add-on. It's has all the basic features you could ever want and it's simple to use. If you use an iPhone or the gPhone you can access the website in a 1st class experience from both your desktop and your pocket.

Answer 2

I quite like Life Balance from Llamagraphics. I used to use it on my palm and then treo.

But it also works on Mac and PC (and IPhone). I don't think there is a blackberry version.

It can be used as a basic todo list, but it also has some nice outlining features and a nice way of setting priorities. The IPhone version is still a bit clunky compared to the Palm version, but it's usable. All the versions can synch with each other and on the Mac it has some synch capability with iCal.

Here is a very simple and intuitive tree based task list. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/applications/todolist2.aspx Comes free with source code and many plug-ins

Answer 4

I've actually started using Evernote and a Moleskin Journal for tracking what I work on from day to day. Although Evernote is a note taking application it is general enough and has tags which seems enough for general task management.
