Importing Lists Into Mojonote

One of my many obsessions is making lists. I’ve got hundreds of ‘em. I wanted to bring them all together somehow, so when I first began thinking about Mojonote, I knew it had to let me import text files containing lists.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Sign in to your Mojonote account, and click the “Import a list” link on your “My Lists” page.
  2. Enter a title, and click the “Browse” button to select the text file on your computer that contains the list you want to import.
  3. Click the “Import this list” button, and you’re done.

Congratulations, you just turned this…

Introducing Mojonote

I needed to get organized. There must be dozens of web apps that could help me with this, and I’d tried just about all of them, but none felt just right.

Some were simple and easy to use but only let me manage to-do lists. Others could handle it all– lists, notes, files, etc.– but created too much visual noise in the process or included a bunch of features I’d never use.

So, off I went to create something I wanted to use. It should let me…

  • manage my lists and notes
  • import lists and notes I already have
  • temporarily archive (hide) inactive lists and notes

I love simple design done right. I’m a big fan of sites like digg, Flickr, and del.icio.us. I knew right away the app should also have a dead simple interface and be really easy to use like those sites.

Requirements in hand, I started coding in my free time. After a few days, I was happily getting things done with my little program. Time to give it a name: Mojonote!

Mojonote quickly became like a second brain to me. I immediately imported all the lists and notes scattered about computer. It was great gathering everything together in one place and having it available anywhere, anytime.

After a few months, I wanted Mojonote to help manage my time. It was also around this time I began thinking others might like the program just as much as I do. Mojonote should let me and other users…

  • manage our schedule
  • set up email and SMS reminders
  • share lists and notes with friends

Whenever I use an online calendar for scheduling, I often find myself distracted by everything else that’s coming up later in the month when I’d prefer to stay focused on the current day.

Today– this moment– is the only time I can take action to get things done. Mojonote makes today the star by minimizing the calendar and using it as a date chooser: Click a date and you only see what’s due on that date.

My productivity doubled immediately after adding the calendar and reminders. And just as important, nothing’s fallen off my radar since then.

So, here we are. Mojonote’s been a joy to use throughout development. I’m excited to share it with everyone now. If you need to get organized, try Mojonote.
