It's pretty slick since you can zoom in and out of it pretty easily. Workflowy (http://workflowy.com) is a free web-based indented todo list, exactly like what you describe yourself as using.

I'm currently using AgileZen (http://agilezen.com), and it's really helped me stay on task. I’ve found that the personal kanban technique has worked well for me (as other have mentioned).

I love to check how many things I've done in DONE column at the end of the day. This mix really works:D I’m also using kanbantool.com mixed with kind of pomodoro technique.

I have so much to do that I don't know what to actively attack next. So I have my own Kanban board. I use http://kanbantool.com/ . I sort my board into projects and also life tasks. It enables me to keep ontop of what I'm doing...most of the time :P It's also great to see all the cards in the done column :) I should blog about this Sara Hi,

I don't use the task context / focus stuff, but the version that comes with Galileo has *every* feature I need for a to-do list - flexible scheduling (stuff that is overdue piles up on 'today' until rescheduled), nested tasks, all kinds of stuff. Being confined to eclipse isn't a problem for me because I barely ever leave it - Java, C, PHP, Perl, all good. I like using Mylyn with eclipse.

It's worth noting that there is a great Launchy plugin available for Todoist, so I can go to or add to my different to-do categories at any time with a couple of shortcut keystrokes. Love it!
