Activity Tracking

I’ve been looking for a program that would allow me to keep track of all the tasks/activities I have to do in a given day, allow me to set specific time restraints for them, and not be a total bear to use.  Well, LifeHacker found it for me.  I’ve been an iGoogle user since pretty much the beginning, so this was a welcome find for me.
