My new favorite app for Capture is Drafts on iPhone.
It’s a delight to use. You can tell the developers pay attention to detail, they also provide lots of updates. AND it’s only a buck (I don’t want to hear and bitching about paying for apps; you should WANT to pay for apps).
Anyway, highly recommended to get thoughts out of your head and onto something else!
If you are in the market for a new way of organizing your tasks look no more. Below are three videos for three very different ways of organizing your tasks or next actions.
The app I would suggest depends on your personal quirks and goals for task management. For personal tasks I use Orchestra because it has a great iPhone app (which is the main way I manage, I rarely use laptop) and I think the voice-to-text feature is super slick. The only thing that is missing is tweaking it to manage projects better (for project management at work I’m currently using Asana)
Workflowy is a super cool organization app that I found through this Convo Group post. The video below will explain what it does better than I can.
If you have an iPhone you will be sad to learn that Workflowy doesn’t have a native app yet. But, the web version does work really well on my phone. The following will show you how to create a Workflowy icon that you can click on instead of bookmarking it in Safari.
If you are unfamiliar with native vs. web mobile applications check out this article. It explains the pros and cons of developing both kinds of applications. I personally learned a lot from it.
What’s cool is that this can be done to lots of different web apps. I’ve since replaced iCal with Gcal and the mail app with Gmail.
