A Life Untold & Uninteresting

Titus.

I have been using http://simplenoteapp.com/ with http://selfcoded.com/justnotes/

I found that Things had too many bells and whistles and actually went against GTD principles.

I find that using the above listed things allows me a simple note taking/to do system that syncs seamlessly with my Mac, iTouch and with an Online System (something that Things does not offer).

Its super simple with bo bells or whistles but I have used this longer than any other system.

After struggling like you did for quite some time I realized that my time was too valuable to be farting around with inadequate tools and so I bit the bullet and set up Things on my Mac and bought Things for the iPhone. I haven't looked back.

Now all I need is for Things to have a connector to my Jott profile so that I can dictate tasks to myself while I'm driving in the car. That is most often where I think of things that need to get done.

For implementing GTD you can use this web-based application:

http://www.Gtdagenda.com

You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, schedules and a calendar.
Comes with a mobile version too, and with an Android app.
