I chose to look at 2 specific categories: organization and education.  I have both ADHD and Mom-Brain, so anything that helps me coordinate and remember is a bonus.  From the organization category, I chose “Remember the Milk”.  My husband and I currently use the “Out of Milk” app to coordinate our grocery list and I was hoping that we could change over to the RtM app so we can coordinate our to-do lists too.  So far, I’m not impressed. 

As a grocery app, it doesn’t have a few features I need: repeat purchases, categorized products, and visible notes (for things like quantity and variety).  As a to-do list app, I’d like to have sub-tasks as a free feature.  Especially for my husband, having things broken down into small parts makes it easier to work through projects.  For me, having small tasks that I can assign orders and different due dates makes it easier to plan ahead. 

I do like having the ability to edit lists from both the app and online.  That was a feature that used to be in OoM that was removed.  Being able to make shopping lists for things other than groceries will be nice too.  Knowing that I need a particular color of yarn for a project, I can watch for sales and pick things up when I’m in the right area of town. 

For professional uses, I prefer a combination of Outlook, Teams, and OneNote.  I can coordinate between programs, they stay on my work computer (separate from my personal computer), and I can easily share between coworkers.  For personal use, I convinced my husband to try out RtM for a few weeks and see if it is going to be useful for coordinating and organizing at home. 

Hugs and Hi-Fives! –Val
