![]() ![]() Nirvana+Workflowy - incremental change need a sub-project hack friction of moving between to-do and outline.When compared with Nirvana, it would add subprojects but the DIY-ness adds substantial “friction” to my process. RTM has all the DIY-ness of Checkvist, without bringing an outliner to the table. DIY GTD, with sub-projects: Checkvist or RTM+Workflowy.Native GTD support, but no sub-projects: Nirvana+Workflowy.When I tried to access it via my employer’s network, it spun forever at “Loading document.” I suspect that the browser is trying to access Google Drive, and the firewall is blocking that. GMail credentials is something I do not want compromised. ![]() I’m not certain I’m comfortable with that. moo.do wants to integrate itself into my Google ecosystem.Checkvist and RTM are general-purpose task-list managers, which can be tailored to GTD via tags, but you’re really going to have to tag everything religiously, or else they fall apart for GTD.It understands Inbox, tasks, and projects. After a little more investigation I came up with some strategic differences: I selected the “Candidates” above via a cursory review of capabilities. From a skills perspective, I’d prefer one tool over two. OTOH, part of my trouble is that Nirvana isn’t giving me enough separation between the two. I expect that integration will be more convenient for moving items between the outliner and the to-do list. auto-urgent it on a date)Īfter some preliminary review, here are the candidates:Ĭheckvist and moo.do integrate an outliner and to-do. Tasks which are hidden until a future date.Things which cannot be done by an outliner with full tagging:.Send to to-do via my command-line launcher (e.g.auto-complete the top-level if all children are marked complete.) Checklists (I prefer checkbox over strike-through.Desktop apps would be nice, if they add something a site-specific-browser doesn’t. Works well on Mac, Windows, Android phone.Completed item stays with project until move-to-archive (or forever).Filter for not-assigned-to-work-or-personal.outline: checklists, project break-downs.I do spend time outside of cell coverage.) (I’d really like it to work well offline, but this is a minimal subset. Offline capture and display of pre-synched data on Android phone.Maybe: runs adequately on a kindle fire, so i could use that at at&t if blocked.Some kind of export, in case my employer decides to block access to the web site and I have to leave it.Ability to view the tasks at the Project level for the project, even if the project contains sub-projects.Mark item complete (and archive it forever).This sugests but does not require that there be client-side code which is static, and it works with just data over the wire.) (When I add something, it is often urgent.) Supports adding new items at top of list.If I’m going to add outlining, I’d like a good outliner, with support for folding/collapsing child nodes.My Someday list is huge, and I’d like an outline for better managing/reviewing the things I’m not going to be doing this week.(I think of Nirvana as having implemented “task steps.”) Nirvana supports one level of sub-tasks, but you can only view those sub-tasks from the parent task. Yes, I could set up each deliverable as a GTD project, but when I ask the question, “What can I do today to move along the top-level project?” separate GTD projects fails for the sub-projects. I need to attach tasks to those deliverables. Those large projects have multiple deliverables. (Not sub-tasks – subprojects.) I have large projects at work. (Right-click and move is a little more compact, but still cumbersome with 35+ projects.) When my project count is high, moving items from Inbox to the project is cumbersome because you can’t practically drag-and-drop to a project that’s 35 rows off the page.I’ve been using Nirvana for Getting Things Done (GTD) with some success, but it is falling down for me in two areas: ![]()
