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

 Bento optimistSubmitted by tzero on December 4, 2007 - 7:40am.
I too am loving Bento; very easy to modify for GTD purposes, and all sorts of other uses as well. And the fact that it automatically syncs with iCal is a big plus. But my to-do system must work with my iPhone, which Bento doesn't (yet) do -- I'll have to see it before I believe it; maybe OmniFocus will beat them to it. Why Apple hasn't worked it out yet is a mystery; I upgraded to Leopard mainly for the improved mail and iCal and Notes functionality in tandem with my iPhone, which turns out to be an inexcusable disappointment. » POSTED IN:
