Apple Mac users have no excuse for not working at their most efficient in 2009. This month alone we have seen the release of Things 1.0 (actually at 1.3 as I post) and this weekend The Hist List goes to public beta.
One of the best applications I discovered of 2008 has to be Omnifocus. If you haven’t heard of the software it is a brilliant ‘Getting Things Done (GTD)’ application that offers a range of brilliant tools that work really well in education.
CulturedCode have released RC1 of their ‘Things’ task management software. This version of the application is almost identical to the final release next week. We have looked at Things before as an alternative to the great Omnifocus and we love the interface and ease of use.
Over the last few weeks I have been playing with an application entitled “Things” Things is a GTD manager (Getting things Done). Firstly I would recommend anyone looking for a more efficient way of working gets their head around the GTD system.
