For years I have had a list making ritual.  Each day I would sit down and make a list of what I needed to get done.  Through out the day I would cross off what I got done and add new items.  Then the next day I would use that old list to create a new list.  And now after years of repeating this process I have found a better tool that is a marriage of the web and a mobile app that suits me perfectly.   That tool is Google Tasks. 

Google Tasks is a very simple list making tool that is part of Gmail and also works perfectly with the iPhone.  I keep a small window open on my desktop all day with my list of to dos and I keep the Google Tasks button on my main iPhone screen.  They synch automatically and have made it possible for me to have one electronic version of my task list that is always with me and easy to add to whenever I remember a new task I need to complete.   I also like how it allows you to create several custom lists, clear completed tasks and look at a history of completed tasks.
