In the fast paced life we all live today, it becomes extremely difficult to keep a track of all the tasks we are involved in, at workplaces, at home and in our personal lives. But the rise of technology has meant that we are spoilt for choices when it comes to apps and online tools that take care of the mess we often find ourselves in. Here are the 5 most commonly used tools to keep your lives organised:

1. Remember the Milk
Remember the Milk is one of the most popular task managers available on the web. The popularity of this tool lies in the fact that it consolidates all the tasks required to be completed by the user, from different platforms—personal computers, smart phones, public computers, tablets, laptops—into one commonly accessible place. So whether it be handling a to-do list of tasks under the various projects you are working on at office, or managing the dates to pay your bills at home, Remember the Milk is one of the easiest ways to keep track of them all.
2. Trello
Trello is a freely available online task-manager that can be used by an individual or a group of individuals. It is basically a virtual bulletin board, where you can arrange the projects you are working on, in terms of work to do, doing, and done. Every user has a ‘board’ where they can pin numerous cards according to their respective columns. These cards can be shared with other people who are working on the same project. The cards can include checklists, provisions to add files, online links, photographs, etc., and can be customised as colour coded as per the user’s interest. These features make Trello one of the most fun task managers to use.
3. Doodle
Doodle is a freely available online scheduling tool that can be used to schedule meetings, get-togethers, dinners, webinars, video calls, etc; especially when there are many people involved, and scheduling becomes a nightmare. It is free, and does not require the users to register for creating or participating in a poll. However, the users also have the option of registering on Doodle, and managing their calendars online.
4. Evernote
Evernote is one tool that has a huge fan following. This tool can be used to store virtually anything, from receipts and serial numbers of your big purchase, to notes on a concept learnt in college, from business cards to your favourite online memes. Basically, this tool can be used to store any bit of information in any format, and find it instantly whenever you need it. The fact that it can be used on various platforms is one of the reasons its users swear by it.
5. Wunderlist
Wunderlist’s USP lies, like all Apple products, in its simplicity and understated functionality. Wunderlist can be used to manage to-do lists of all kinds, and allows the users to sync all of their tasks from various devices. It also has web extensions, which also offers the option of setting a reminder for the user to visit the website at a later date, and not just bookmark it.
