What is To-Do List?
To-Do List is a simple, fast browser-based task manager — add tasks, check them off, and keep the day organized. No account required, works offline, and your tasks persist until you clear them.
A to-do list works because it offloads the mental task of “remembering everything” to an external system, freeing your brain to focus on actually doing the work.
Core Features

The MIT Method (Most Important Tasks)
Start each day by identifying your 3 Most Important Tasks — the three things that, if completed, would make the day a success. Add them at the top of your list with high priority. Do them before anything else.
| Morning ritual | Action |
|---|---|
| Open to-do list | Review yesterday’s incomplete items |
| Set 3 MITs | Mark them high priority, move to top |
| Process inbox | Add new tasks from email/messages |
| Work | Start with MIT #1 |
Tips & Common Mistakes
Keep tasks as actions, not projects. “Website redesign” is a project. “Write homepage headline copy” is a task. If a to-do item can’t be done in one session, break it down further.
Review and trim daily. A list of 50+ tasks is paralyzing. Each morning, keep only what’s actually happening today in the active list. Move or delete everything else.
Done lists matter. Looking at a full “Done” section at end of day is motivating and gives you an honest picture of output. Don’t skip the satisfaction of clearing completed tasks.
