Well Habitica is an app that understands this problem that puts off some people from using to-do apps like those ones here. It's been designed to get you into getting things done by integrating to-do lists into an RPG style game where your success depends on whether you complete those tasks or not. You can create tasks which will be quests that you have to achieve!

When you set a reminder or task and then complete them, you'll earn gold for that which can be used to buy weapons, mounts and outfits and other upgrades which help you to fight off and defend monsters. But forget a task and you'll loose health. And all your base will be owned and nobody wants that!

Oh my gosh Habitica sounds really cool! I am just wondering can you set different quests to have a different weight? You know like sending in your tax return (UUGGHHHH) is much more important and tedious than making a phone call or drinking a glass of water every day. So perhaps you can set it so you get Tax Ninja status if you complete all your tax returns on time?

I can certainly see how making a game out of your tasks and to do lists would be a really cool way to go about things. I think that I just have to give this Habitica a go.

I currently don't use any app to schedule my life or to organize all my tasks. I just wing it as I go along... often ignoring all the tedious big tasks that I hate.

I personally love schedule apps and since I've discovered "Keep" from Google on Android, I really don't need anything else.
I can set alarms, reminders, it automatically syncs in with my Google calendar and it also has the option to add certain labels, set tasks or change the colors to mark important stuff.

It's pretty much everything I need. It also takes pictures, video and can be used as a voice recorder. I write everything on it, appointments, CD ideas, services idea, deadlines. I even have certain tags for movies my friends recommend me and I and up writing them down to check them later.
