New Web-based List-Making Tool: TeuxDeux (Review)

I’m always looking for tools to help business professionals (including myself) stay organized. Discovered a new to-do list-making tool called, appropriately, TeuxDeux.

I’ve been testing this free, Web-based tool this week (you just need to create a username and password to use it) and it’s about as simple as they come.

• The interface is clean and displays five days at a time (you can scroll the calendar forwards and backwards as needed).

• Just enter your to-do item in the box and hit “Enter.”  Presto; your item shows up on the list for that day. Add as many items for each day as you need.

• Scroll down your screen and you’ll see a “Someday” list. I like this, because many items on my to-do list can be categorized as “Someday, maybe, hopefully I’ll get around to doing this.”

• To mark an item “done,” hover over it with your mouse and click. It strikes through the list item, giving you the satisfaction of crossing something off your list. For an extra thrill, you can also delete the item completely after striking through it, by clicking the red X next to the item.

Even if you decide not to try TeuxDeux, I recommend that you watch the short demo video below. It’s highly entertaining!

My wish list for TeuxDeux:

1. I want a printable version so I can keep a hard copy handy at all times, instead of having to access my list from my browser.
2. I want to be able to see my entire list item at one time, instead of just the first couple of words (currently, you have to hover over the ellipsis in each item to see the expanded version.
3. I want the ability to edit any item. I can’t find any way to do that, other than to re-create the item (which is a waste of time).
4. I want to undo my mistakes. I accidentally crossed off an item, but couldn’t un-cross it. An “undo” button would solve that problem.
