7/6/2023 0 Comments Todoist vs omnifocus 2![]() ![]() I should point out, this is not the fault of OmniFocus. The amount of actual work I was doing was being limited by the amount of time I was playing around with the features in OmniFocus. There was always an excuse for playing with the settings and set up, and I found I never needed much of an excuse to play around with it either. I was always tweaking my perspectives and playing around with start dates and due dates. It has every conceivable feature a productivity and time management geek like myself could ever wish for, and I took complete advantage of that. What finally moved me over to Todoist was when I asked myself exactly what I wanted from a to-do list manager. ![]() By then, I was a hardcore OmniFocus user and because of the financial investment, the start and due dates, the perspectives and different setups I could have in OmniFocus I was reluctant to switch completely. For about one year I played around with Todoist. I was immediately drawn to its beauty and simplicity (I am quite an aesthetic person) and I downloaded it to test it out. I was continually searching for the ‘perfect setup’ and I loved it! It was a cycle I repeated almost every week. I loved OmniFocus, it got me in the habit of using digital tools to manage my daily tasks, I ate up every article and listened to every podcast I could find on using OmniFocus, I played and played around with the perspectives attempting to find that ‘perfect’ one that would meet all my needs, then I would read another article and change all my perspectives again. And there I stayed for a number of years.īut there was always a slight problem in the background. I tried many different kinds of productivity apps, from Franklin Covey’s Task app to Things for Macbefore finally going with the Rolls Royce of Mac productivity apps, OmniFocus. ![]() Reading Getting Things Done, was the start of a journey of discovery. I saw possibilities of creating my own system and the chance to take advantage of the emerging mobile technology that was beginning to emerge. But one day, as I was browsing the books in the English books section of the Kyobo Bookstore in Seoul, I came across Getting Things Done and thought, why not? That book changed everything for me. I thought I already had the best time management system in my Franklin Planner. I’d heard about the book but never considered reading it. I read the Getting Things Done book by David Allen in 2009. ![]()
