Former Wunderlist user sticking with To Do for now

- Can use the drag-and-drop function to move items up and down on a list
- Planned list helps me see what I need to do today
- Recurring tasks can be set at X days and not just weekly
Cons
- I really, really dislike that they removed Microsoft To Do (formerly Wunderlist)'s feature to keep lists alphabetized after I click to alphabetize sort. Makes it very hard to manage the list.

- Would love the ability to print a flow of tasks in a graphic
Return on Investment
- Increased productivity
- Lowered time to track tasks on paper or spreadsheets
