Comments on: Getting Things Done with Daylite http://www.applebriefs.com/2008/06/23/getting-things-done-with-daylite/ A guide to improving your law firm or small business with Macintosh computers Wed, 23 Nov 2011 05:01:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Derek http://www.applebriefs.com/2008/06/23/getting-things-done-with-daylite/comment-page-1/#comment-261 Derek Fri, 25 Jul 2008 20:31:38 +0000 http://www.applebriefs.com/?p=134#comment-261 Things relies too heavily upon contexts, and it doesn't offer enough ways to view your tasks for it to be very effective. Omnifocus takes a lot of time to configure, but it's completely worth it. Daylite, on the other hand, is still not ready for GTD. The project and task funtionality just isn't built for it. You'll wind up having a million smart lists and subtasks, and no effective way to track your tasks. I requested some type of integration with Omnifocus in Daylite, and I urge others to do the same. I'm not sure how possible it would be, but I would love the ability to add OF tasks from Daylite, view tasks and projects w/in Daylite, and link those tasks and projects with Daylite contacts, organizations, opportunities, etc. When the iPhone app comes out, I will look into this again, but it seems way too complicated to manage tasks. This is why I ditched Remember the Milk (and everything else). I mention RTM because it's the only one worth mentioning. There has to be a simpler link between CRM and GTD, for those of us that need both.

If you're using Things, you might want to take a look at my review of OmniFocus (it will be posted first thing in the morning). Bottom line (sneak preview): OmniFocus is a lot more powerful, but for some people Things will clearly be the better option. Thanks for stopping by.

I'd overlooked this. I'm using Things for GTD stuff but may want to try the DL version when I get it up and running at the office. Especially if the DL/iPhone integration works well.
