I've tried just about every web/mobile/desktop todo list out there, and always end up back at pen and paper.
Every night, I list out the things I want to get done the next day. I strike these tasks out throughout the day as I do them. At night, I destroy the list (burn it if we have a fire going) and make a new list. After writing out "Setup split test experiment on blog CTA" a few nights in row, it becomes painfully obvious that it either needs to get done ASAP or it's not worth it.
With software-based todo apps, it's too easy to overload your list, which leads to starting each day depressed over how much you have to do that day.

I've tried just about every todo list app, too. I keep ending up back in Things.
I think it's a very personal choice. It's just a matter of finding a style that works for you.
