“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.

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 [...]
Yesterday, I looked at an item in OmniFocus, and I wasn’t sure what it meant. After the three minutes or so it took me to sort it out, I decided it was time to revisit the to-do guidelines I scratched out a few years ago. I thought I’d post them here as a helpful summary [...]
The arrival of iPhone 2.0 has changed how I use my iPhone more than I imagined it would. But I did anticipate one thing correctly: OmniFocus for iPhone has tripled the usefulness of OmniFocus for me.
Some have been unhappy that OmniFocus is charging $20, but I gladly paid it. And after a few days of [...]
