John Amicangelo : The best todo list app for any developer

Make a list of your todos in /etc/motd:

* Dump prod.sql
 - Don't forget to sanitize
* Finish Foo project

And now you'll see it every time you open a new prompt:

* Dump prod.sql
 - Don't forget to sanitize
* Finish Foo project

I keep an alias to edit it in my .bash_profile

alias etodos="sudo vim /etc/motd"
