Getting things done.. with Things
I’m the type of person who needs to write things down in order to remember them. I’ve always been a list writer just to keep things organised so I know what I have to do. I’ve tried a number of ways, from paper based lists to text files on the computer but in some ways I got even more unorganised.
The past few months I’ve been using Things, a task management application currently in development by CulturedCode. I’m finding it really good and it serves as a reminder list and also a task management app all in one. I’ve found it really simple to use and keep using, which was always part of the battle with other task management applications I’ve tried.
I’m pretty sure I’ll buy a license for it when it finally goes 1.0, until then I am hanging out for .mac syncing support so I can have my task list on my imac and powerbook with little fuss.

I’ve found it really useful. I have tried using stickies, and iCal, as well as a notepad and diary but none of them worked. I get sidetracked and lose ideas very quickly, and Things has been pretty good for my PhD and work.
