Producteev gtd8/14/2023 ![]() ![]() Competitors began doing just that though, mostly using online tools (RTM, Toodledo) or Apple’s services. ![]() In 2009, that was OK, and it’s funny to think back to how few apps could actually deliver cloud-sync back then. In early versions of Things, it was only possible to sync over WIFI. A real shame, coz Things mac costs US$49.99. The product is developed by Cultured Code, a company that’s both set in it’s ways, and not really renowned for action. I fell in love with it from the moment I first saw the beautifully simple interface that it’s famous for. “Things for Mac” (now “Things Mac”) was the very first GTD application that I ever used. That’s what I was going to say, but then something happened. If you are just starting out on your Getting Things Done journey, and you want cure-all, no-cost, you-bloody-beauty, platform/device-independent system, then GO NO FURTHER than The Secret Weapon! The site is (now) sponsored, but not overtly, and would have required a great deal of effort to produce, with videos that describe every aspect of the theory and the system. I don’t know why they took the time, but I consider The Secret Weapon one of the best examples of a community website I’ve come across. It’s easy, it’s everywhere (Evernote is free on every device you can think of) and it works! It’s been my trusted system for 6 months, and whilst it feels a little imposed (jut a little), it never let me down. The system teaches you to use the tags and notebooks in Evernote to create a task collection and completion workflow, based on Getting Things Done. The Secret Weapon is not a product or a software solution in itself, but a manifesto and complete step-by-step playbook on how to turn (the fantastic) Evernote into a kickarse GTD productivity machine. Įvernote & the Secret Weapon my system of choice for the last 6 months or so. So, cutting to the chase, my authoritative view and system referral is (drum roll). Tom’s done a great job of pointing out the good and bad in a bunch of apps, and after reading his round-up, I thought that the only thing I would do differently (aside from not doing as good a job) would be to make an alternative final recommendation.
