Ask HN: What do you use for a daily todo list?
I recently moved from Workflowy to Trello, both excellent products, just experimenting (I have no connection to either)
What, HN readers, do you use to keep up with day to day task lists?

It's in active development, integrates with the pomodoro technique, and has the right balance of features/ease of use that I need from a task list tool.
i. I carry around a real notepad for quick notes. I fill up about 1 every 6 months, sometimes I take quick notes on iOS Notes app. ii. Short term TODO's I email to myself and flag important. iii. Daily stuff goes in Notepad or Sticky notes on my desktop, open all day, synced in dropbox. iv. Long term stuff goes in Google Tasks under different categories, and relevant web links to those goes in it's corresponding folder in chrome, synced across browsers.
Tasks are basically a customized Outlook message, so you can dump all manner of Office artifacts in a task to keep track of stuff. Copy anything from an Office or Outlook doc, or embed an entire document in a Task.
So the existence of the Task is part of my ToDo list, and what's in the Task object is stuff i've been keeping track of on a long running task. Simple tasks are just a Task with a title and a due date.
In the end, the app or site doesn't matter, it just matters that you have one list that is always available. I'm still looking for a waterproof for the only exception to the single list.
I've used Trello and Google Docs in the past and they work great as well.
weekly and monthly: weekly goal list/different whiteboard
longterm: omnifocus and basecamp
