Some Words

Today I did a little more puttering around with productivity software. Shea had mentioned a piece of software called Midnight Inbox. He mentioned that it was related to this not quite cultish, but clearly with a following, book called Getting Things Done. I started to realized that the stuff I had been looking at frequently owed a lot to this system, and that it might not be for me. I’ve got Midnight Inbox on my hard drive now, and am looking it over, but I’m just not sure it’s going to be for me. The way of thinking about the individual tasks seems like it’s almost a great idea, in that way that misses the mark just slightly, and thus seems to be totally wrong, for me I should hasten to add.

Anyhow, I looked more closely at OmniOutliner, mentioned in a previous post. It is starting to seem more like what I was looking for, and just didn’t show it in quite the way I wanted. It does what needs to be done, I just always want things to look a certain way, and software developers seldom see it the same way.
