How are you Mac folks doing reminders and structuring to-dos?
Scott | Nov 29 2007
As of Leopard, I'm a transplant from Entourage to the Mail/Address Book/iCal/.mac combo. Over in Entourage for the past 7 years, I created a slick Zero Inbox system by using delayed reminders, using a cool combo of Applescripts that removed emails out of the Inbox until a time when I needed to deal with them. I haven't figured out a system yet in the Mail world. I'd love to hear how you Mac GTD'ers are using timers/reminders to postpone to-dos until the time you need to deal with them. I'm intrigued by OmniFocus, but it doesn't seem to be set up to do timers; more, it looks like a way to order ones to-dos in the sequence they need to be done. It might work, to switch from a popup timer world, to just remembering to look at a list. But before I dive in to OmniFocus, I'd love to hear how others are dealing with their to-dos using the Mail/Address Book/iCal/.mac combo. Thanks for any ideas. 38 Comments

I found this zero cost ap a while back and keep coming back to it- whether it is the nifty checkmark in my menu or the unfolding effect when you open it, I find it easy to use and a good tool to organize. It's a simple to-do list, but grouped by category and color coded (I use a color system on my folders throughout my system so that red=red no matter where I am looking) for those of us with color-manipulated ADD. Not nearly as 'plugged in' as OmniFocus and other aps I've played with, but I enjoy it's simplicity and residency next to my text expander icon. Check Off comes from Carpe Aqua (log.carpeaqua.com)- really a simple but great little ap. » POSTED IN:
