do any of you use any type of software for keeping your schedules and to-do lists? I'm looking for one that will allow me to input multiple tasks per day, and have a check-off system that i can record when I finish assignments.

know of any freeware or anything?

thunderbird? note I don't know if it has scheduling.

thunderbird doesn't have scheduling or to-do list functions built-in. there's an add-on from mozilla.org that lets you integrate scheduling stuff, such as a calendar, but it's really really rough.

might be good to look at something like google calendar.

outlook of course
there's tons of freeware solutions but nothing quite as good.

MonoCalendar was marketed as the iCal equivalent for windows ( http://www.lifehacker.com/software/top/download-of-the-day-monocalendar-168865.php ) but it looked pretty bad when i downloaded it.

the only thing keeping me attached to outlook is the calendar.

for my to-do lists i keep a nice excel sheet that i update weekly since i couldn't find anything that had all the fields i needed in basecamp, tadalists, or any desktop client.

i use google calendar so i can view it anywhere, and use the google calendar and todo list gadgets for google desktop so i can just hit shift-shift and my calendar and todo list pops up instantly:

Lifehacker.com is a fan of the "Getting Things done" philosophy. they have several scheduling applications here - http://lifehacker.com/software/getting-things-done/ , http://lifehacker.com/software/gtd/

yahoo calendar

if gcal could sync to my outlook, i'd use it too

but yeah, yahoo calendar has had sync for a while - may want to try that out.

airset was another one i tried while i was looking for an online solution (30Boxes wasn't fully developed back then, don't know if it still is now)
