Remember the Milk – Task Notes

June 10th, 2008 Derek Schauland, MVP Comments off

As we have seen in previous posts Remember the Milk has reinvented task management. In previous posts I have gone through an overview of the service and taken an in depth look at a few of the features available. In this post I want to visit the topic of task notes used with RTM.

When a task is added to Remember the Milk, the user is able to specify a location, a due date, repetition, and tags associated with the task. Sometimes a task may need some more information. This is where notes come into play.

Each task entered into Remember the Milk can have its own notes. The number of notes is unlimited, however I recommend keeping this to a manageable level, three notes is the most I have found useful. An example of a task where notes could be very useful is a task such as get groceries. If a task is added for get groceries, a note (or multiple notes) can be added to provide a list of the items that are needed… milk, cereal, and other things.

Rather than adding a single task for each item that is needed at the store a note showing these items might work a little better and keep the task list clear for the items that fit best there.

Let’s get started on going through the notes process with Remember the Milk.
