I have a "todo" email in my drafts folder in GMail, I've been using this method for years, and it has always synched up across all of my devices. I used to do it with my regular IMAP email, which worked on my Sidekick, so this process goes back nearly a decade. I've tried using stuff like Remember The Milk, because people love it so much, but it just doesn't give me any benefit and I have to internalize a new process, setup all my machines, etc.

The same is true of Evernote. Email drafts are searchable and available on all my devices, so I just keep my notes there, too.

If I wanted to get fancy, I could make a folder just for todo lists and one for notes. But, I rarely have more than one active list at a time, and notes being searchable makes it easy to find the one I need when I need it.
