Things, new Chocolate and Fall City Blues

I've decided to switch from Remember The Milk to Things as my task organization system of choice. RTM has a lot of great features, but the user interface on Things appeals to me more. Cultured Code recently came out with an iPhone version of Things that synchs with the desktop version, and that clinched my decision.

Things has some shortcomings but I've found workarounds while I wait for the developers to release new versions. I've been using the system for several weeks now, and it's definitely helped me be better organized.



One of my problems is that I tend to have a lot of projects on the go at once, plus I also needed a way to record all the ideas (writing ideas, cartoon ideas, songwriting, sewing project ideas, errands, books I wanted to read, websites I wanted to check out, etc.) that leap at me as I go about my day-to-day business.

Up to now, I've used a small paper notebook as well as little pieces of paper. The notebook works up to a point, but I needed to keep reminding myself to review it regularly, else reminders get lost amidst by other scribbles.

Anyway, now I just write everything down in my iPhone in Things. And I've gotten much better at two-thumb typing. :-) I review my "To Do Today" list first thing in the morning, and then my entire list once a week.

Some of you may remember me mentioning a hugely talented young woman named Rin at Balticon. Well, Rin has a comic strip! You can find her strip at Fall City Blues on Livejournal.
