   Extremely powerful todo list manager

   I used Remember the Milk for years, but they were slow to fix bugs and new features hardly ever appeared. Marvin is, as the name says, Amazing. Very powerful 'smart' lists of tasks, searching, customisation. It does take a while to get to grips with the huge range of features.

• You guys will love "Four Minute Books", it provides a very readable summary of books but they are not so small as to lose all their value but not too big that they waste your time in case it's a topic you are not interested in!

• How do you get over the hurdle of desperately wanting to start using a task manager but feel totally overwhelmed and panicked about trying to remember and input all the many things that should go into it, not to mention deciding which one? (AuDHD)

  I have recently realized that there will be no perfect tool you will find just by looking things up. You literally do have to try around w a few apps (or more traditional methods) and see which one you enjoy. It took me a while but I found smth called Amazing Marvin.
