things and productivity
The past three years I have experimented with several task management solutions and really didn’t care for any of them. Most of them were cumbersome and very difficult to use. But I think I finally found the task management software that I can’t live without. It is called Things by Culture Code. Unfortunately, it is a Mac only application. If you are looking for a PC based task management solution, you might start here. Things works with both my Mac and my iPhone, making it the only task management software that I need. It is both simple to use and yet powerful enough to handle many projects. Things has helped to revolutionize my schedule as I am trying to be more intentional in my schedule (more on that later). It isn’t free, but most of the free applications that I have used have hardly been worth my time.
I also found a helpful resource called Productive magazine. They have published two issues and both of them are available as PDF downloads. There is some helpful material including a great interview (in the first issue) with David Allen. David is the founder of Getting Things Done (GTD).
Hi Robert: Thanks for this tip about the “Things” task management software. I’m going to look into it. If you ever see a sale offer on it, please let me know. God bless.
They do have a free thirty-day trial for Macs. Give it a whirl …
