Workflowy gtd4/15/2023 My workflowy setup is along the lines of Tiago Forte's P.A.R.A system(Projects-Areas-Archives-Resources) - everything from my life goes into one of these four bullets under an appropriate sub-category. Sorry about the rant, but I have a question - how do you guys use workflowy, considering tags and bullets can get overwhelmingly difficult to maintain over time? Do you categorize via dates? Or do you have a gtd+notes workflow? Would love to know. I read on the Twitter page that code blocks was on the current roadmap as well, so seems to me like now's a great time to jump back on. I recently decided to give workflowy another shot - have to say most of the new stuff like mirrors, Kanban views, images, internal links, dates and the mobile app are incredibly useful. I moved to other capable notetaking/wiki and todo tools - OneNote, Joplin, Tiddlywiki, SimpleNote, Microsoft todo, etc.īut along the way I realized that nothing seemed to match the simplicity, low friction and customisation capabilities of workflowy, maybe the only thing that comes close in my opinion is writing on actual paper. Over the years however, development appeared to stall with no new features announced for a long time and I decided to move away as I needed a mobile-friendly app and also thought workflowy was too barebones for my needs. Not sure it would be as convenient for others without the same ubiquity (although, in theory, this would allow you to inter-operate with using Outlook in a PC environment in a GTD manner).Hi there, I stumbled upon workflowy several years ago and I remember the app blowing my mind at that time. I am lucky to have a Mac at home, a MacBook air to tote around, an iPhone and an iMac at my desk at the office - it made trying this out easy (and as a registered developer, I've been doing this since Mountain Lion dev betas). For my style of work, I know I am getting things done when this fairly simple set of tools doesn't get overloaded and overburdened by a backlog of data. I find that, mild issues about the skeuomorphics of the UI aside, I can get things done. Others have noted there are other options for syncing stuff. Calendar and often reviewed lists (tickler files) are best used in place of reminders. Id question your need for reminders, though, because that is not strictly GTD. My third biggest impediment was availability of this information once I had bothered to set something up and then just, you know, getting things done. The app can be setup with tremendous simplicity or complexity, depending on how you do you it. Im curious whether you keep one daily note for the day with running. Same with Reminders: It is plugged into iCloud for personal lists (I have the default "Reminders," an "Apartment Stuff" list, other "context" oriented lists) and Exchange for work lists: the default "Tasks", and a couple other lists for specific realms of work. Hi all, Ive heard that many use drafts for quick entry rather than their task manager. Notes uses iCloud for personal notes, and I activated my Exchange account on that as well (essentially replacing the Notes feature of Outlook). Mail is set up to access both my Gmail and my work Exchange-server based email. I do use Reminders, Notes (limited) and flagging stuff in my good ol' email inbox - and yes, I use Mail.app for that. And so, to the heart of your question: Yes, I do use the Mountain Lion default apps and successfully. Switching tools always compounded that first problem for me.īut, my second biggest was some of these things being too smart for their own good. If you have something and you like it and you are doing this (and you paid for some of that software maybe), stick with it. Best answer: My biggest impediment to implementing GTD was remembering to use the tools, to go back and check my lists.
