A few years back I got on the GTD bandwagon from talks with my friend Chris and sites like 43 Folders and Kinkless (a GTD Mac Application of sorts). Getting GTD implemented in you life is a tough thing, you have years of built up bad habits to break and new habits to create. But when I’m doing it I fill more productive and free from worrying about things slipping through and not getting done. The problem is that it’s pretty easy to fall off the band wagon, which I had done, but I’m working my way back to Getting Things Done.
This week I went back to set up my Kinkless document and decided to go look and see how far along OmniFoucs (a full fledge Mac Application based on Kinkless) was and it’s in Alpha release to those who had signed up for information about OmniFocus. So after some searching in my gmail account I found the invitation I signed up for months ago and downloaded yesterday’s nightly build. So far I’m really liking it. It takes a little getting use to from how Kinkless works and the different views it offers but I can still get those views its just taken a few minutes of playing around to find them.
Some of the best features are iCal syncing, a quick entry mode and a web interface to add and view next actions. The web interface is great if you have an always on Mac in an office of at home and a cell phone with a data plan. I think they are trying to finish up the alpha (which for me has been extremely stable) so they can go into beta testing with a wider audience soon. I know that you can still sign up for the OmniFocus newsletter and when availible they still send out invitations for new alpha testers, you can also stay up to date with what is happening with they project on the Omni Group blog.
Do you do GTD? If so, how?
