The design is wonderful. Let me suggest one simple change that would make this more compelling for me..
Make the to-do list items in the list (graphic to the right) atomic and immediately actionable, following GTD priciples. Why? As a GTD/Vitamin-R/Pomodoro/Wunderkinder addict, the graphic communicates to me a to-do list set up for failure. Instead, I'd like to see something more like:
1. Send proposal for website redesign to Company X
2. Project Y: Devise a clearer method for moderators to invite members to private chat
3. Project Z: Contact 10 choreography bloggers to see if they're interested in cross-promotion
A to-do list like this would communicate to me that this service is developed by people who've studied GTD principles carefully and have something new to offer here. Take a look at the Vitamin R help docs - it reads more like a self-help book than a software manual, which I really appreciated. It won my trust by showing me that this guy had done the research, and really devised a productivity strategy that works.
On that note, it would be helpful to have a clearer message of how this is different than other to-do lists. I'm not quite sure yet...
Anywho, definitely glad to see another attempt at better productivity, and good luck to you! I look forward to learning more about LazyMeter. (:
