As long as you have Things running on your Mac and your iPhone is on the same network, open it up and it'll automatically discover your computer and start a sync. Works pretty well.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04698994797938957616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615332969083650973.post-50957185524915881332009-01-03T16:22:00.000-05:002009-01-03T16:22:00.000-05:00Yes, you definately should add emacs org-mode to y...Yes, you definately should add <BR/>emacs org-mode to your list of available software. <BR/>Org Mode was my reason to have a closer look at emacs. It is extremely flexible, keeps everything in plain text and is just a charme to use. <BR/>Plus, it is very actively developed.<BR/><BR/>Definately recommended to anyone planing your or any other way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615332969083650973.post-61958569575322238312009-01-01T09:16:00.000-05:002009-01-01T09:16:00.000-05:00Personally I like the gtd methods.Compared to your...Personally I like the gtd methods.<BR/><BR/>Compared to your view, it emphasizes less on the actual scheduling of when you will do what. eg you only plan out things that have deadlines or that must happen on a specific date for some reason. The other things are not to be put up on a calendar or "daily todo list".<BR/>Why?<BR/>1) it requires time/effort to put things on a list, to move items between lists, etc.<BR/>2) your planning will change anyway. factors come in and out, plans change etc<BR/>With gtd you set up a calendar with the things that are bound to date/time-elements, and the other todo's are just stored somewhere else, coupled to a context and/or project. If you have good software, all that is needed then is to look at your calendar and your tasks (which can be categorized by tag, project or context, so you get a good overview)<BR/>If you're done with a task, you can tick it off or whatever, so the goal of being able to see afterwards what you did when does not warrant the use of "pre-scheduled" todo-lists.<BR/>That said, todo-lists *can* have their advantages. (a clearer planning, it stimulates more, etc)<BR/><BR/>What GTD has in common with your point of view are the concepts of contexts and projects, and the need to "dump" all your ideas/thoughts in a trusted place to get a clear mind, although gtd has very specific and organised ways to process, categorize etc that "dumped" information, which definitely helped me.<BR/><BR/>Gtd is of course much more then task management, it's about managing every thought/note/idea/task/time, setting up your workspace, etc etc. I highly recommend the book (or articles about it)<BR/><BR/>There are many gtd tools out there (of which some you already mentioned)<BR/><BR/>Personally I try to keep it simple and use simple textfiles, with a smart system around it called emacs org-mode. You can do gtd with it, or any other workflow you choose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
