New users need to create an account before they can start adding things that they want to do in the next three years. The form where you add your “things” suggests things that other users of the service have added to their list. That’s nice as it can be inspirational. In the end, it comes down to what you really want to achieve and do in those three years.

A Top 101 things to do page offers additional suggestions on what you could do in the next 1001 days. Popular suggestions include donating blood, kissing in the rain, getting married or to not eat fast food for a month.

Tasks range from easily doable like donating blood or going on a cruise to hard to predict things like falling in love or, graduating from college or watching a meteor shower.

The top 10 things that users of the service want done in 1001 days?

1. Donate blood
2. Write a letter to myself to open in 10 years
3. Sleep under the stars
4. Get a tattoo
5. Leave an inspirational note inside a book for someone to find
6. Kiss in the rain
7. Don’t complain about anything for a week
8. Answer the “50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind”
9. Fall in love
10. Watch the sunrise and sunset in the same day

The service distinguishes between a things to do list and a someday list with the latter being more of a queued to do list while the former containing the tasks that you really want to achieve in that time frame.

Day Zero offers more suggestions and inspirations than what has already been mentioned. The Feature List offers lists that contain handpicked ideas, interesting locations or places, and even a list of what you probably do not want to do (but should). The latter list contains interesting challenges like not using the Internet for a week, not eating out for a month or not to complain for a whole week.

If that was not enough, there is also the idea finder. The idea finder displays two goals giving you a choice what you’d rather want to do. Each suggestion, even both, can be added to the things to do list, someday list or the done list.

Once you are done adding tasks to the things and someday list you can move around tasks between both lists or mark tasks as started and done.

You can also set tasks to be private in case you do not want your user name and full name to appear on the task page on the site.

The service lacks an option to print out your lists on paper. While it is possible to use the browser’s print option, it is not the best suited for this kind of task list.

You can start your own things to do list over at the Day Zero website. Which tasks would you put on your list?

The getting things done software Wieldy is more than just a to do list manager. When you first start the program you see the main interface. There is a button row at the top, to create new thoughts, projects, recurring actions, tags, contacts or contact groups.

Thoughts are basically single elements that you want to pin down and save in the program. This can be an upcoming task, an idea or something else. A project is used to group tasks and other information. Recurring actions are like thoughts, only that they are repeated regularly.

A list of all actions is available under the left sidebar, grouped into categories such as Do, Projects or Storage. From here it is relatively easy to open a specific set of tasks or thoughts that have been added earlier to the program.

The creation of new items uses a menu that most users would probably say is somewhat complicated to use. Depending on the selected item, it is possible to add titles, tags, notes, files as reference or dates.

The header offers controls to duplicate, delete or convert entries. Other available options include setting tasks as done, assigning priorities to tasks or configuring tasks to be completed today.

The very same header offers search options to find specific entries. Filters are available to display only specific entries, for instance tasks that are due in the next seven days, or tasks with a priority greater than normal.

Wieldy comes with a contacts database which can be synchronized with Microsoft Outlook. It is possible to import all Outlook contacts into Wieldy, and new contacts from Wieldy into Outlook. It is furthermore possible to synchronize scheduled actions with Outlook and to import calendar entries from Lotus Notes into Wieldy.

Encryption is supported to protect the data set with a password to protect the program from unauthorized access.

Taking the early build of Wieldy into consideration, it can be said that it is a well thought out program with an impressive feature set. It could use a few improvements here and there, for instance an option to add multiple tags at once during thought creation. It would also be easier to change some of the names, thoughts for instance, to make the program more intuitive to use.

The synchronization with Outlook and ftp servers makes it ideal for users who work with Microsoft Outlook and on multiple computers.

You find more information about Wieldy on the project homepage.

A complex activity on the other hand adds due dates, reminders, tags, context, additional users and contents to the basic information. Each activity can be made up of sub-activities.

Contacts can be invited from various sources including Konolive accounts but also external sources like Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, MSN or Plaxo. Keep in mind that the login credentials have to be supplied to be able to do so.

KonoLive can be an interesting alternative to other GTD software programs if the users do not mind the use of Adobe Air. The software has been designed with ease and mind and it is indeed easy and comfortable to work with other users in KonoLive.

Update: KonoLive has been updated in the meantime. A free KonoLive 2Go version for the web and a desktop version called KonoLive Pro.

You can find out more about KonoLive Pro here on the project page, and here about KonoLive 2 Go. KonoLive 2 Go is an Internet application that users can run from a web browser.
