![]() Wunderlist is Everywhere – I use Wunderlist everywhere.Yet, I can view all of today’s tasks across lists. In Wunderlist, I have separate lists for Work and Life. I have one list, yet I separate it by different areas of my life. Separate Lists – Here is a corollary to the One Tool principle.When I am going about my day and have a great thought for a post topic, I quickly add it to my list. For example, I have a “TMN Blog Topics” list. However, when I have a simple idea, I drop it in a Wunderlist list. I am a big user of Evernote for my notes, clippings, etc. Idea Capture – I use Wunderlist not only for todos, but also for idea capture.Compare that with todo apps where you have to enter the due date, context, priority, and the weather. Keeping it Simple – As I have stated, one of the best features of Wunderlist is its simplicity.Wunderlist allows me keep all my todos in one place, yet separated and viewable how I want to see them. ![]() One Tool for All Todos – I often talk about the “Power of 1.” That is, having one tool for each area of your time management system.In all its simplicity, it is easy to overlook some of the powerful ways to use Wunderlist: I like Wunderlist because it strikes a great balance between features and functionality. In the long run, complex tools are unsustainable, and often end up sitting unused in a drawer. However, your time management system should not be too complex. You should always choose tools that you will use. There are some who will prefer more complex task managers. ![]() Simplicity and effectiveness over features and bloat. I am big believer in the simplest tool to get the job done. However, behind that slick interface lies some powerful features and means to use it. It is pleasant to look at, s imple and intuitive to use, and it keeps unused features out of your way.” “Wunderlist gets an A for its user interface design.

Wunderlist is so simple, that it may seem flippant to ask, “How do you use it?” Today, I thought I would explore some of its powerful uses and some lesser known features, as well. Recently, I have been asked quite a few times about how I use Wunderlist. In my original article, I gave an overview of Wunderlist and its design. Wunderlist is a wonderfully simple and effective app to manage your todos. You can easily share your list with anyone, send a list as an email or a text message and tap any item to cross it off the list.A few months ago, I made the switch to Wunderlist as my task list. Not only is it a great list-making app, but it also offers integration with both Alexa and the Google Assistant, so you can use voice commands to add items to your lists.Īnother awesome feature for those of us that love to cook is that it can import recipes from popular websites, making it easy to add the required ingredients to your shopping list. I’ve been looking for an adequate replacement for Wunderlist and I’ve settled on the AnyList app. Microsoft acquired it a while back and announced it’s going to replace it with their own to-do app, which I’m not a big fan of. If you love this app as much as I do, I have some bad news! I, along with millions of other users, have loved the Wunderlist app for creating lists for many years. It's Tech Tips for Non-Tech People!
