Every week or two, I get a kind note from someone who has stumbled on the site and pillaged the archives. This is usually a Mac switcher or someone who is just trying to get their workflow in order. Some of the posts where I describe my workflow, especially the Capture Everything series, are now [...]

This is part of an ongoing series on Contexts where I explore some of the unique contexts I’ve been working with in my GTD system.
I’ve added a new context to OmniFocus. This one seems kind of obvious, but it’s not one I’ve thought to use before. In fact, some of you GTD’ers might already use [...]
This is part of a short series on Creative Tools. Other posts in the series (so far) include: Creative Tools: Hardware.
When I ran the workflow tools series last year, I had one post for my software tools. It seemed better this year to break it into two parts, this post on my backend tools, and [...]
“It’s not the writing part that’s hard. What’s hard is sitting down to write.” – Steven Pressfield in The War of Art
Sometimes ideas are pressing on my finger tips, demanding that I allow them to burst out into written words.
Usually not.
Most of the time, ideas form inside, where I guard them until I think they [...]
This is part of a series on Contexts where I explore some of the unique contexts I’ve been working with in my GTD system.
While David Allen’s Getting Things Done has shaped a lot of my workflow, my efforts at implementing a weekly review have been half-hearted. For more than a year, I’ve scheduled an appointment [...]
As often happens with the new year, I find I have a renewed willingness to rethink everything. This ranges from the larger looming questions of life goals and purpose, all the way down the practical minutiae of how I structure my days and workflow.
In particular, I’ve been revisiting the contexts that I use in OmniFocus. [...]
With the official release of Things (and the expiration of the free betas), there has been ongoing chatter from those trying to decide which GTD app to use: Things or OmniFocus. Things last beta, and a promotional discount, are ending tomorrow, so I know many are trying to decide which way to go. Since I’ve [...]
For quite some time, I’ve had good intentions to write a post about trying to eliminate due dates from my task list, and only use start dates. My dream task list would be so short that it would only show the things I need to work on over the next few days, and due dates [...]
This is part of an ongoing series called Blinders where I explore some of the ways I streamline my computer workflows to minimize distractions.
I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for the old 12″ G4 PowerBook. (That’s a guilt-free way of saying that I coveted one every time I saw one in the [...]
I’ve made no secret of my love for OmniFocus and it’s integration in my workflow. As a result, I often have people ask me more about how to use OmniFocus, or even about how I use it specifically. I’m not surprised. OmniFocus does have a learning curve, and it is not intuitive for a first-time [...]
