Register

Start with registering to mittoday.com. Simply fill in your email address and password, then check your email for activation email. Click the activation link on the email to activate your account. After your account is activated, you can start adding tasks/notes.

Tasks

To add new task, you need to login first. Click Add Task button and write the task description. Then click Create button to save it. Your task will be displayed on the home page.

The buttons on the left side of your task description are respectively: Cancel, Delete, Edit, and Complete. When you've completed your task, click Complete button. If you want to Cancel it, click Cancel button. The difference between Cancel and Delete is that Delete really removes your task from the system. If you mark it as Cancelled, the task will still be available on the "View All Task" page.

Notes

To add new note, login and click Add link on the Follow Up Notes section. Write down your notes and click Create to save it. Your latest notes will be displayed on the home page. To update it, just click on the Update link.

Reminder

The system will send you an email reminder to write your MIT Today. If you don't want to receive this reminder, click on the Profile tab and set "Receive Reminder via Email?" as "No". On this page you could also set your time zone and when you'd like to receive the reminder.

Follow Up

At the end of the day, the system will send you another email reminder to tick off your MIT Today or add a follow up notes. If you don't want to receive this follow up, click on the Profile tab and set "Receive Follow Up via Email?" as "No". As with the reminder, you could also set when you'd like to receive the follow up.

Tasks and Notes via Email

You could also add and edit your Tasks and Notes via Email. Send your commands to mailer at mittoday.com either by composing new email or replying the reminder/follow up. When sending reminder/follow up, the system will append the task ID on the email. So you will receive something like: "This is my task description [T-123]". What you can do:

Mark task as done: reply with adding "Done" in the task ID. For example: [T-123-DONE]
Cancel task: reply with adding "Cancel" in the task ID. For example: [T-123-CANCEL]
Delete task: reply with adding "Delete" in the task ID. For example: [T-123-DELETE]
Add new task: write email or reply with adding [T] in front of the task description. For example: "[T] This is my new task"
Add follow up notes: write email or reply with adding <N> before your notes and close it with a </N>. For example: "<N> This is my notes </N>"

The system will check your email replies every one hour, so your changes might not immediately appear on the website. Please note that this feature is only tested for plain text email without attachment.
