I’m downloading the screencast as I write this ;). I’ll more than likely link it from a main post later today. I’m looking forward to Things and have been on the waiting list for months now…

I think the thing that I like most about OmniFocus is their understanding of the GTD method and focus on creating a viable commercial application. It will take more experimentation to see if I can be as productive with it as I’ve been with iGTD.

I guess I’m torn between being really excited about the array of choices coming up, or being scared that I’ll spend more time experimenting than actually getting anything accomplished. We’ll see. I’ve always enjoyed developing my systems as much as actually using them ;).

If you’re interested in Things, I actually just published a screencast preview of the current alpha version:

Things alpha preview

I saw this post in my RSS feeds as I was finishing up the screencast, which was pretty funny for me. I’ve been going through the same problems with figuring out which task manager to use, but Things has me pretty excited.

I too bought a license for OmniFocus, one for my main mac and another for my laptop. It’s still buggy but should be working fine at release time. Let’s hope so.

But I have not given up on iGTD and the new version looks very promising. iGTD is my main GTD app at the moment and I can live with the bugs for a little bit more time.

There is also a new kid in town, Things. (www.culturedcode.com/things/). Still in alpha or beta but is also worth attention. Very nice looking app.

I hope that by end of January all those apps will have been released and one can finally decide what to use.
