Addicted to task apps?

Hi, my name is M, and I'm an appoholic... (everyone: "HI, M!")

I'm always on the looking for something that's going to "solve" my seemingly endless task list. As previously mentioned, I'm ADD, OCD, BSC (bat-sh** crazy), and so I have a compulsion to write down as "necessary" any idea that comes into my head.

Toodledo has been great for that.

What it hasn't been great for is helping me deal with the fact that probably 50% of my "tasks" either come to me, or are updated/managed, in Gmail (and other mail providers).
