#2I have tried a few things. I used Evernote for a few months and while it is more work than a notepad+paper, it is great for when I need to look back on something. Better for structuring and searching.
Can't beat notepad+paper for simplicity though.

#3I don't. I usually keep everything in my head quite easily. If things start getting out of hand, there's trello to help out.

#4I use Org-mode in Emacs.

That doc explains a good work flow.

#5I use http://todotxt.com/ because I very much dislike having to leave commandline. It's a bad code-switch to leave commandline for a TODO list.
$ t ls/p # list or list by priority sort
$ t add 'Something to do +Project @Tag' # add a new item with +Project or @Context categorization
$ t [Num] p B # give priority 'B' to the TODO listing
$ t rm [Num] # remove some item in the list

#6I use Trello. It works best for me because:
- It's easy to view the list at a glance
- It's easy to add items, move them around, mark them as done
- It is always with me, thanks to a smartphone app
- It gets unwieldy if there are too many items - this is not a bug but a feature which reminds me to keep lists manageable!

#7Wunderlist. And it rocks.
We actually use it now inside my company to assign tasks to people and manage projects. Totally awesome.

#8Trello is just great for doing this. I was also considering writing my own Trello clone with better integration of calendar and plan to do so if I have some spare time this month.

#9I use OmniFocus. Every once in a while I look for something "better" but decide that I just need to be better at using OmniFocus. That is probably true for any of the todo list apps.

#10My daily todo list is http://1-3-5.com (set as homepage)
The night before I like to prioritize items and think about what major, medium, and smalls tasks there are going to be.
For larger projects, I prefer Trello (https://trello.com). It's so good on so many levels.
For personal random things that need to get done, the whiteboard on my fridge is unbeatable.
