Of course, I'm also the type of person who allegedly [ahem! allegedly] agree with everything. Looks perfectly straight to me.

]]> Comment on Getting Things Done, on a Mac by Vaughan http://vaughanmarais.com/2008/03/28/getting-things-done-again/#comment-4 Vaughan Wed, 02 Apr 2008 18:04:06 +0000 http://vaughanmarais.com/2008/03/28/getting-things-done-again/#comment-4 Thanks for your comment. I guess you just have to choose the right GTD app for your specific need. At the moment I'm only working on my MacBook, and I don't have an iPhone(yet! hehe).. so I think I'd opt for OmniFocus for two reasons. Firstly, you can set a system-wide shortcut key combo to bring up a dialog to capture your new task without breaking away from the work you're currently doing. Secondly, because it integrates well with Mail and iCal, when I sync with my mobile phone all my data will be transfered over. I enjoyed different aspects of all the GTD apps I tried out, so I won't be surprised if I hop between them every now and again. I'm especially looking forward to Things after it's first official release out of beta! Thanks for your comment.

Kendrick Sat, 29 Mar 2008 10:44:49 +0000 http://vaughanmarais.com/2008/03/28/getting-things-done-again/#comment-3 I've found GTD to be much less time consuming than the Covey planning system I had been using for decades. And I recently found just what you're talking about for the iPhone. The web-based application lets me access my GTD from my Windows computer at work, my Mac at home and carry with me on my iPhone. It is super simple to use. I've written a couple of recent posts on my blog at http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com that detail my experiences with it.
