I use Trello do manage my personal to do list at work and find that it works far better than pen and paper. I have no idea what it's geared towards but for me it works great as a single person tool.

The cool thing about pen and paper is that it's very unrestrictive, meaning, you want a check? do a check, an X, well X it is, a smiley face, circles instead of boxes and so on.

Also, Trello is really easy to just close, a paper you'll have to hide it manually, going analog sometimes is good.

Funny I find I have the exact opposite 'problem'. Trello is always there on my bookmark bar on every computer I own, one click away from viewing anywhere I happen to be. On the other hand I tend to lose any paper to do list I make, and even when I don't lose them, half the time they're not where I happen to be.

Workflowy, to me, is a better fit for just managing todo lists. In terms of usability, it is really nice.

Workflowy is awesome, but to steal Joels explanation while Trello is a list of lists, workflowy is a tree.

Still wondering where org mode fits.
