Twitter with Remember The Milk [Hack Your Day]
If you’re a Remember The Milk user, you already know how many features you are getting. Phone updates, IM updates, smart lists, etc, etc, and if you are using Twitter there’s a great feature available for you too. I only recently became aware of this as I started Twittering, and I’m quite pleased with this feature to say the least.
You can add tasks, mark them as complete, postpone, get a task list, assign tasks to others, all through simply Twittering a message. Since I need to jot down ideas quickly, many times I use different services for quick ideas and full blown lists, but now, I can just send a load of tasks through Twitter to my RTM inbox, and then manage them later on, how’s that for productivity?
If you like the sound of this, take a look at the Remember the Milk Twitter page. You will need to enter your Twitter username, then add rtm as a friend on twitter and send it a direct message containing the displayed code. Simply type “d rtm codehere” if you are using the main Twitter interface, or Twhirl and you should be verified soon. Once you are, you can do all sorts of things right there.
By typing “d rtm Be very productive” you will create that task in your inbox. You can also add times, like “d rtm Be very productive tomorrow at 3pm” and so on. You can also mark tasks complete or postpone them using “!complete Be very productive” or “!postpone Be very productive” respectively.
My favorite feature however is the task list you can get. You can get today’s tasks (!today) or tasks due on Wednesday (!getdue wednesday), but you can also get specific lists, tags or locations (!getlist, !gettag, !getlocation). There are a few more things to play around with, take a look at the RTM page for more.
