And because I like using Things, I’m getting more done. That might seem like a superficial reason for using an app, but I’ve discovered a pleasant side-effect of that beauty – I like using the app.

Let’s get the most obvious reason for switching out of the way. 1 The whole GTD “next action” concept didn’t work for me, and I spent much too much time trying to twist my tasks into “projects.” My reasons Aesthetics I also found it to be more mental overhead to plot and write out every single next action, than to just jot out a quick task. Yes, I know you can categorize almost any task into a project if you really think hard enough, but my line of work is filled with a million different unrelated tasks. Third, my line of work really isn’t project based. Keep that in mind when deciding if Things is right for you. Things doesn’t have as strict an adherence to GTD principles as other apps, but I’m fine with that. While I use some GTD principles, I found (after a few years of struggling) that it just didn’t work for me. Second, I’m no longer a true GTD devotee. It just works better for me GTD isn’t my thing I’m by no means claiming that Things is “better” than OmniFocus. CaveatsĪ few caveats at the outset: Take this all with a grain of saltįirst, productivity and task management is highly personal, subject to each person’s particular foibles. There’s also a chance I’m unaware of a feature in OmniFocus to address the main shortcoming I mention below. There is a chance some of this could be moot soon, as the next version of OmniFocus is currently in a closed beta.

This article isn’t meant to be a full review, but instead will focus on the friction I had with OmniFocus and the key differences for me between OmniFocus and Things. It made me realize the main reason that OmniFocus wasn’t working for me. It was a “wow” moment for me when I realized what the key difference is between the apps. So why did I switch? For the TL DR reason, jump down to my third reason below, which is the main reason. I fancied myself a power user, and thought other task management apps were somehow inferior because they didn’t have the level of power offered by OmniFocus. For a few years, I was an OmniFocus snob.
