![]() I missed the gleeful rollover of non-completed tasks into the next day. I missed the ability to divide tasks between “Today” and “This Evening”. The CTRL + CMD + Space shortcut on the Mac is just too easy for quickly capturing tasks. I quickly learned how much I missed Things 3’s impeccable keyboard shortcuts. And I ensured “Mail to Things” was quickly implemented where possible. I eliminated a few areas I no longer need (buh bye “School”!!). I updated my recurring tasks with updated dates. So, as it goes, I’m back in Things 3 once more. (I’d like to see a task have the ability to be a timed event with a start and stop time.) And I just don’t like Spark as an email app. Fantastical’s task integration and timed events didn’t grow on me. I forgot to forward new emails from Spark to GoodTask. ![]() My diligence grew tired in those last few weeks though. Once you start to understand those buttons though, GoodTask can kickstart your Reminders app to a whole new level. I downloaded GoodTask, moved all my tasks from Things into Reminders and worked with GoodTask for about six weeks. (I’m well aware of Mail to Things, but I really wanted a direct integration.)Īnd so, I did an exploratory experiment. The app is almost perfect (no, you still can’t check off a recurring task before it comes due) and it’s officially on the Sticky List for my devices.īut Things doesn’t play as nice with Siri as Reminders does it doesn’t sync with Reminders, ensuring I could check off tasks inside Fantastical and know they were also checked off in Things and (at the time), Things didn’t work directly with my email app of choice. Which is actually a long, long time ago already. I’ve used Things 3 since Things 3 debuted. Naturally, this sort of meant the demise of Things 3 in my workflow. I’m on a bit of a time-blocking kick still (though it has slowed a little recently) and work to ensure my calendar holds everything I need. What I wanted was pretty simple: I wanted to easily ask Siri to add a task to my list, have that task show up in my task app, and have those tasks show up in my calendar app as well. I promise, I didn’t change apps for the sake of changing apps. This was less “workflow” and more “How do I make sure I capture tasks when I’m thinking about them in the car?” and “How do I ensure I don’t miss that email?”. I went through an exploratory period regarding my “productivity workflow” (gah, I hate those words) not too long ago. There and Back Again: My Things 3 Story Friday, Oct 01, 2021
