Whether you’re keeping a grocery list, housecleaning routines or potential million-dollar ideas, one of its more popular features is called My Day, which offers personalized suggestions to

update your daily or weekly to-dos. Formerly known as Wunderlist, Microsoft To Do can be accessed on all mobile devices, computers and virtually any browser. Though free, Microsoft To Do

requires a Microsoft account, an email address and password that you use with Outlook.com, OneDrive, Skype and other Microsoft apps. MICROSOFT ONENOTE. If you need more features to annotate

your lists, Microsoft’s free OneNote, also requiring a Microsoft account, is a more powerful digital notepad that lets you add media. You can save photos, such as something you saw on

Pinterest; scan business cards and documents; and sketch ideas. Like Microsoft To Do, all your notes are synchronized in the cloud. So you’ll always be working with the latest version of

your list. You can share lists with others and collaborate. EVERNOTE is a handy app for organizing your lists, copying websites, pasting photos, recording audio, sketching diagrams and

typing notes. Like OneNote, all notes automatically sync wirelessly, so you can access your info anywhere and share or collaborate on the same note. You even can take a picture of book or

magazine text and convert it into editable text. This is a great way to save content and make it searchable by keyword. The basic version of Evernote, which allows you to use it on two

devices, is free. Premium plans with advanced features and additional cloud storage start at $8.99 a month. Many other to-do list apps, including Any.do, Google Keep, Todoist and Remember

the Milk — cute name, no? — will do the job. Though they may vary in features and interface, most are free for basic functionality and synchronize across all your devices. 3. MANAGE YOUR

LISTS No matter which app you choose, these tips will help you get the most out of your lists. ORGANIZE BY TOPIC. The words “orange juice” on a shopping list shouldn’t sit alongside paint

colors for a potential bathroom renovation. You can create separate lists or a color-coded master list. You can move items around using your mouse or fingertip if you want to prioritize an

item by placing it on top of a list. In some cases, you can increase an item’s font size or make it boldface. UPDATE YOUR LIST. In an app, you can often X an item out, which might put a line

through it, or you can have it deleted once you’ve performed the task.
