I've tried so many things in the past (Microsoft To-Do, Google Tasks, Google Keep, Trello), but nothing seemed to work or was very distracting. And then I tried org-mode, and I swear by it. It's great and flexible. I've used it to plan projects, complete assignments, and schedule appointments. I also set up sync to two cloud providers, allowing me to view my TODOs in a web browser or my phone in an instant. In addition, the clockin feature of org provides me with quantifiable measures of my productivity. And best of all, there's zero vendor lock-in, since all org files are plain text. Speaking of work, I should probably get off HN now :)
