QuickCal allows you to quickly add events to your iPhone’s calendar. It’s geared towards holiday shopping but has additional features that add to the list making experience. The developer of Better Gift List also created the popular Better Christmas List app. Events can have separate entries for different people so I can keep track of who I’m giving what to. I can create events with details, budgets and due dates. When I’m organizing gift lists I turn to Better Gift List. I found Awesome Note (+To Do) to be a pleasing, visual way to organize my thoughts. The app has a calendar that will display your notes on the dates you entered them. Finally, your notes can be seen as diary entries, sorted by date. Notes can be seen as a regular list, or a to do or detail list. There is a thumbnail view or a photo view that frames your note like a polaroid. The app allows you to view your notes in a variety of ways. Awesome Note (+To Do)Īwesome Note combines note taking with to do lists and is perfect for quick notes and ideas.

I’ve been using 2Do for several weeks it’s my favorite “To Do” style app so far. It has become my back-up brain and thanks to a variety of organizational apps I think I’ll make it through 2010 in one piece. My iPhone is my favorite manager of my organized chaos. Things still get done (mostly) but I’ve embraced the fact that my organization now is not what my organization once was. After having my fourth almost eighteen months ago I surrendered to the chaos. Then came child number three and I began adhering to the motto of “Fake it until you make it.” Things still got done but it was messy. After I had my first two children I managed to keep up with most of my organization.
