Great to see that iGTD...

Great to see that iGTD is on the menu here. I have used iGTD for almost two months now and I find it simply terrific. On the side I am trying out OmniFocus too because I came from Kinkless kGTD want to watch how OmniFocus grows. I also happen to like all the stuff that the Omnigroup makes.

In the meantime and possibly in the future I will use iGTD. It’s very stable and updated with new exciting features very frequently. I use it a lot like shown in this screencast but there is so much more. Features like hitting the F6 key when reading a mail I need to attend to later, or when I bump into an interesting blog I need/want to read later or even hitting F6 in my endo RRS reader — all this throws a link to these into iGTD inbox and then I process with the right context.

Another feature I am starting to use a lot is when I am processing my mail I flag, tag and more with MailTag. All of these go too into the Inbox of iGTD if you want for further processing. A lot of handy keyboard shortcuts are included.

One little thing I want to mention too: When typing a note like Michael does, you can also split the note with “:” Example could be “Go shopping with wife : Take Mother in Law along”. then the task is “Go shopping with wife” but down in the Task Notes goes: “Take Mother in Law along”
