Once in a while, we're going to need lists to remind us of everything we need to be reminded of. Gocery lists, to-do lists, travel list, bucket list, you name it! Lists should be a part of our lives. It's a good thing we've got a list that we could take anywhere. Here I present you a wonderful list: WUNDERLIST!
Wunderlist is a free online tool that can help you manage what you need to do or be reminded of. Yes sir, you can bring it anywhere: Laptop, desktop, tablet, phone. The app was developed on 2011 with the name 6Wunderkinder and was claimed by Microsoft some time on June 2015, from which since then, started to be utilized by 13 million users around the globe.
What I love about this tool, aside that it can be sycned with your mobile gadgets, is that it has a Google chrome extension to which when you open a new tab, the list would appear instead of your recently visited website. Well, being the kind of girl who easily gets distracted as soon as I open the browser, I sure need that to remind me to get to work.
Wunderlist is very easy to use that it would only take 2 to 3 steps for you to pick something up. Well, let me walk you through everything that you'll be coming upon once you've get started. Let's begin with going to their website. It should look like this once you've get there:
Of course, you're going to have to sign up to have your own to-do list. I did heard that Wunderlist is connected to your Google Calendar, so it would be best to sign up with your gmail account instead:
Once you're in, Wunderlist would ask you what kind of list would you like to work on. Don't worry if you clicked something by mistake or would want to select multiple lists. You could do that later on. But for now, I'll just click on work for a while.
Once you've chosen the kind of list, you could go ahead and type in the items. Yes, if you're too lazy to type, you could use the text-to-speech option. Well, I use it often times when I'm on my phone. Once you're done typing in the item, you could go ahead and click enter right away.
If you want to add another item to the list, you could go ahead and type another on the text box and hit enter once you're done.
Sometimes, a online line reminder isn't enough. You're gonna need sub-items, files or a deadline of that particular item to remind you with. Fear not, Wunderlist has that extra feature. If you would click on an item that you've typed in, a detail box like the one below would slide your screen.
You can place a time and date reminder, sub-tasks or sub-items (this one is good for to-do lists), Additional note reminders, and (for work to-do list) some files that you might forget to bring. If you could take a look at the icon beside the "Add file" option, next to the text-to-speech icon is the ever reliable cloud storgae - dropbox. Yes sir, you can definitly link your account with this baby.
Like what I've said earlier, if you need another list, fear not. At the bottom left hand side of the board, You'll see a "+ Create List" option which, of course, let's you create another list.
There's also a list of which is due today or this week to let you get reminded of whatsoever you need to be reminded of. If you need to organize your lists, there's a folder option wherein you could manage which lists belongs to, say: Work, home, club, etc.
Getting creative in wunderlist, you could choose a variety of backgrounds available, though the down side is that you can't upload your own background. And there are some backgrounds that seem unavailable. Nevertheless, you could choose which one fancies you. Though you could upload a selfie on your avatar as well.
Not sure if that covers everything, but I am sure of one thing. There are a lot more features in Wunderlist. There's room for improvement though, like the background option, but nevertheless, it's handy, portable, and user-friendly.
If you think Wunderlist isn't good for you, then don't worry. There are a lot of list tools out there such as Any-do, Remember the Milk, Trello, etc. I might make a post about some of them in the future, but for now, cheers to Wunderlist!
