Tips & Tricks Tuesday: Funeral planning

Dealing with the funeral of a loved one is not easy and something no one wants to deal with. However, we appreciated jassyk’s tip for how Remember The Milk was able to help their family through a difficult time with a lot going on. 🖤

My father passed away and with all of the legal and stuff we had to do, I really needed to streamline my to-do list.

I kept losing paper lists and my notebooks and I found RTM- How could I have ever lived with out this?! It is my favorite thing ever and I am a user of less than a month!

I have created lists for the to-dos for the funerals, luncheons, and then I was really excited was I was able to add notes within those lists.

Then it came to create lists for the lawyer and what they needed, for the estate, the after funeral stuff for thank you notes. The separation of the phone, emails, computer, personal really came in handy and being able to prioritize what was needed now and what could wait. Then I was able to make a list of death certificates, from who needed the originals to who needed copies. It really streamlined things as RTM really took off stress.

I also created a Smart List for my hobbies as I work with local farms by processing their fleeces.
So not only am I able to use RTM for my funeral needs for what I need to do with my father, I have created my own Smart Lists for my hobbies as well and my daily life.

I can never ever live without RTM… My favorite app to use on a daily basis. Setting the priorities, dates and especially the notes within the lists are super important and I have not lost a list yet! It is nice to have everything in one spot instead of having 10 different note books of different stuff! Thank you, thank you for making my life so much more organized and not lost on where I need to be!
