Monkey On Your Back offers a unique approach to creating tasks and getting things done. While other services allow users to create to do lists and reminders for themselves, Monkey On Your Back gives users a way to delegate tasks to others. It is essentially a virtual “monkey on your back”, reminding team members, employees or others to get tasks done so projects are completed on time and deadlines are met. The user can create an account and begin sending out email messages that include task information. The user is sent a reminder when the deadline for completion has passed so they can follow up and see if the work was completed on time.
