Getting back to the work
I have to agree with the previous two posts. As an alpha tester of Omnifocus for the last 2 months Ive grown sadly distant from a program that promised so much. To be fair, it delivers a lot of what it promised, but the implementation leaves little to inspire. And i need inspiration, not simply rules or guidelines. Within 24 hours of getting hold of Things, I’ve switched over my tasks and almost immediately - and unexpectedly - got back to my work as opposed to continuing to configure the program.
Perhaps after 2 months of of Things I´ll be surfing the highway in search of the next golden chalice, but I don’t know, what I’ve come to realise is that I want a program that doesn’t need a manual, does what I want it to, and then gets outs of the way. It sort of digitally withers away until next needed. And that’s a great relief after constantly partnering up the old contenders of iGTD, Inbox etc. Anyway, back to work.
