Apples Reminders.app is actually better than most people say or think. You can even keep it in sync with your own server using CalDAV.

Do you use a Mac? If so, I recommend Things for Mac http://culturedcode.com/things http://culturedcode.com/things/mac/appstore ($49.99) Edit to answer to ralfy's reply below: I recommend it to Get Things Done [1], for its versatility (projects, scopes, labels, scheduling and repeated tasks), its excellent user interface and aesthetics, and the seamless synchronization across multiple devices (Mac, iPhone and iPad). […

I also recommend Things, because it's an app that makes you feel good if you're into OS X and iOS style user interfaces. I bought it years ago, but truly started using it when they got the Things Cloud sync working.

So now I always keep it open on all my Macs (I switch between 3). It's always up-to-date, shows the number of tasks pending for today in the Dock icon, and it's comfortable to very quickly switch to the app, and create new tasks or mark old ones done. And when you're procrastinating, you can organize the tasks into projects and drag'n'drop them around, enter tags and descriptions, etc.

I think you can achieve the same with any todo list app or even text files, but Things makes it look and feel nice.

Asana is my favorite. It can be used for basic to-do lists or more complex project plans. The interface feels fast and nicely designed, with key bindings for everything so you can move through it very quickly. Free for up to 30 people in a team, so you can assign tasks to others if you want to.
