I currently use Todoist, my inbox, a paper pad, FogBugz and my phone to keep a list of things to do. As long as it's not in my brain, I can stay productive. Thanks for your comment.

Things which I really (really) need to do, I tend to write down on post-it notes. It's satisfying to toss them in the trashcan when the chore is done. I also have my email, and my inbox is kind of works a To-Do list. I try to keep it empty, although my attempts at "inbox zero" tend to first turn into "inbox a-couple-of-dozen" and finally into "inbox 2734". We also use FogBugz at work, and I have a list of tasks there as well. Occasionally I try to move my To-Do lists to an actual tool, but then my inbox takes over, and I find myself writing some post-it notes again. That said, I haven't tried RTM or Todoist yet; I should try them... I'll make a post-it note of that :) I’ve never had much success with To-Do list apps.
