Mail and Reminders: going stock

In earlier articles I have written about time blocking, email apps and task managers. Being a more or less semi-professional procrastinator I tend to spend a lot of time thinking of what app to try instead of actually getting things done.

I am in no way an expert, I am — probably like most of you — a Mac and iPhone/iPad user that gets lost in all apps and constantly try to find a way out of that spinning wheel of procrastination.

My main problem I have found is that I have tried to understand and use the GTD-theory. But my mind does not work in those ways, so I realise I will never be able to function if I lock myself to a certain theory.

As example: I think the ‘important’-function in Apple Reminders is really good. That way I can easily see what tasks are of most importance to me, regardless of WHEN I am supposed to do it. To get that function in Things 3 I have added a tag [!Important]. I also like the flagging in Reminders.

But I have so far not taking the step to drop Things 3. By some reason I miss the calendar overview that Things 3 has. And getting GoodTask as ‘add on’ is rather pointless, since then I will just swap one third party app for another. And that will just result in a zillion new buttons to click on.
So: why not just jump to Reminders?
