So, I had an idea that could make GTDs really cool that you guys might want to consider.

There's a site called ifttt.com, where you can create if this than that conditions like, if it's going to rain tomorrow, send me an email. Things like that. They get people started with a list of popular recipes that you just subscribe to, instead of building your own conditions.

I wonder if you could create a sort of Recipies list of things that people might want to subscribe to, that most people don't even think about. It would entice people to your service, and it would help unorganized people get more organized.

You could include sections like:
Home:
-Change Air filter: repeat every 3 months on the completion date
-Replace smoke alarm batteries: Repeat every year on the completion date
-Get Chimney cleaned: Repeat every two years on the completion date
-Vacuum: Repeat every Weekend(skip if ignored)
-Clean Fridge: Repeat every month on completion date
etc

Dogs:
-Apply flea & tick mediction: every month on completion date
-Give Heartworm meds: every month on completion date

etc.

So, people who are looking to organize their lives, but don't know where to start could browse your "recipes" or "common tasks" lists, and just click to add a task. This would be a great way for a beginner to get started in organizing their life. Obviously, don't call it recipes, because that would be a blatant rip-off of ifttt.com, even though you provide a different service.
