I've since switched to Google Calendar, which syncs more seamlessly, but I still wanted something to help me organize my projects -- those endless to-do lists with sub-lists of their own.
First, I tried out lino, which is really just an online bulletin board. It lets you post "sticky notes" with lists, photos and other attachments. You can also have several "canvases," which is nice if you have larger projects which need several sticky notes of their own. You can also send the notes to others, but I admit I never used that feature. Although I don't really have anything negative to say about lino, I didn't use it much and it didn't help me get more organized.
I'm currently trying out Trello, another online organizing tool, and I think I'm going to stick with this one. My test case was a photo wall project I've been sitting on for over a year now. This project is just one item on my to-do list, which is itself only one "card" on my household "board." But Trello allowed me to put inspiration photos, checklists, and other notes, all on this photo project card.
Trello is actually meant for collaborative projects, but its format works well with the way I think. I'm happy to say that my photo wall project is well on its way to completion! I promise to post a photo of it soon.
