to do list written on hand

When Workbar members need advice they can ask their own community- a network of connected, smart professionals who love helping each other out. Here is the most recent query:

"Does anyone have a very simple to-do list app that they like to use?  I'm looking for something nice and clean, not too muddled with extra features, and preferably available as a google chrome extension."

Here's what Workbar members use:

And here's what they had to say about them:

[UPDATE]

- A little late, but TeuxDeux is my beloved to-do list app. It balances high efficiency with effectiveness for daily/weekly tasks and has persistent organization at the bottom for long-term tasks. Great for design-y people who value simplicity and use their to-do as a daily tool (rather than for set-it-and-forget-it reminders).
