My todo lists are ugly, to say the least. They involve scribbles, long lists with random hierarchy and highlighted and crossed out tasks. This week two of my coworkers turned me on to a few more aesthetically pleasing ways to stay organized, by way of two lovely user friendly websites.

Enter The Printable CEO Series, compliments of David Seah. The site offers valuable resources, including printable task sheets and guidance to boot. Printable materials include the Concrete Goals Tracker, Task Progress Tracker, Emergent Task Planner and the Task Order Up.

TeuxDeux.com offers a digital solution in the form of a good to look at desktop application free for download. Say the creators,  “The idea was to build a bare-bones, but visually compelling and highly usable to-do app based on Tina’s personal ideal work-flow.” Features include a week overview, create/delete/move tasks and a friendly “someday bucket”. Details can be found here.

It would seem that with options like these and most likely many many more available, gone are the days of missed deadlines, forgettable tasks, understandable excuses  and plowing through one’s day with no particular direction or goal in mind. Read ‘em and weep, my friends.
