The concept of a project checklist is not new. I suspect that checklists were invented around the same time people learned to procrastinate. Although the web is relatively new, having the same details to attend time after time is not.
Many website checklist services exist. Some boast slicker graphics, more functional JavaScripts or other bells and whistles than you’ll find here. Yesterday I saw one that rewards users with points for completing chores.
But for those of us who do not produce websites daily, recalling why and how of each bullet item may be as much a task as the task itself.
As Metickulous evolves, I find it a reference as much as a to-do list. Tasks serve three purposes: First, to recall who did what; second, to allow for notes. The third goal was an accident. Out of habit, I included a “notes” field in the database. At first notes were short phrases or reminders, but the more I return to Metickulous for my own work, the more handy full notes are.
This week I’ve added more than thirty new notes and links to twenty services and resource to the Metickulous checklists. More will come with future tasks and checklists. As always, I’m open for suggestions.
What’s next?
