I used to use this Greasemonkey script for my todo list, but it stopped working months ago with no fix in sight.
A good place to start looking for things that let you pretend to be productive is lifehacker, and they do not disappoint.

Some factors I’m considering:
- I don’t want to register for yet another service (Remember the Milk)
- I don’t want to use something unless I already use it on a regular basis (Outlook)
- Must exist “in the ether”. That is to say… I have to be able to drop it and pick it up wherever I go (pen and paper)
- That kind of leaves plain text… todo.txt
Althought todo.txt sounds nice. With dropbox, my todolist can go whereever I go, but I use Gmail more than Notepad. I think I’ll try using a gmail draft message(s) for now. I might even be able to make it one of my quicklinks.
If you want to host your own very (very) simple todo.txt editor I created on here

Just create a folder on your web server – e.g. todo
and drop the index.php file into it and your done.
