I’m stuck in a no-mans land between it and Omnifocus.

OF matches my complexity.

But tasks have hid there too.

In using TP a few things really do help.
- You can’t futz. Very important.
- Straightforward implementation of multiple contexts, tags whatever.

Contexts are treated as tags, you can mix and match Contexts in the trad GTD sense, some 43-folders ones (@cogitate and the like…), and subproject headers as tags. Easy and I like it.

I also found that I ended up with very complex project structures in OF. Very. Complex. And TP makes me be simple. Which is kind of great, you gotta just do.

But… then again, there’s a part of me that brackets my experience of it. I’m always aware that I’m stopping my analytical break-it-all-down side from fully flowering… TP just doesn’t do my projects justice.

Stuck in the middle….
