No undone to-dos

Congratulations. You have no undone to-dos.
This is a rather catchy line from a site called Stikkit.com, which I tried out today. I’m not sure that it’s my cup of tea, but I probably need to persevere with it further. (Another similar site, Yojimbo, isn’t free, but it looks like it might be more useful. However, it’s only geared for Mac users.)
Stikkit allows you to make notes for yourself - diary events, things to do, birthdays and holidays and so on. You can also `clip` websites and keep track of them.
The whole caboodle is held together by tags - those wondrous little words that link random ideas and points and brings them together. But the tags in Stikkit are a bit more subtle in the sense that certain words will make sure that something happens to the information you put in, in the sense that having put in a reminder, a certain tag will ensure that you get reminded in time.
I found the help section not as helpful as I’d like, but perhaps I didn’t spend enough time on it. It gives you several sample Stikkits to work with, ones that you can play around with and alter to your heart’s content. I guess if you did that, you’d make better progress. Being of the old school that likes to be told how to do things, rather than ‘play’ my way through, I’m less comfortable getting started. If you’re thirty or forty years younger than me, however, you’ll probably find it all makes sense very quickly.
