Things 3 just makes things more confusing than ever. Granted, I use it regularly so I decided to upgrade. It feels like ransom for an application I've already paid for and then some. I'm relatively unhappy that Things essentially forced me to upgrate to T3. But all-in-all, Things 3 has become the tool I use, not just by default or because I don’t mind using it, but because I actually *want* to. I know that headings and checklists can accomplish some of this, but sometimes a complex project needs to be broken down into something a bit more structured. Also, I wish that projects could contain full-blown subprojects. Despite the fact that I know they’re intentionally designed to make you not have to rely on them, I wish reminders within Things 3 were at least as flexible as reminders in the standard Reminders app. No, it’s not as flexible as OmniFocus, nor as stricly powerful, but which is better: the power tool you don’t use because it intimidates you, or the approachable tool you do use because it’s so well designed? Sure, there are a few things I wish Things 3 did better. It’s beautiful, thoughtful, and spacious both visually and conceptually. But OmniFocus is so heavy, so… *serious*, that it’s not very approachable. I’d tried Things 2, but OmniFocus kept pulling me back. I know this sounds a bit strange or zen-like, but that is precisely what it is. It is not really a time manager but a “space manager” so you end up with more space in your mind so to speak accomplish the things you want. I do recommend that if you are or are not a GTD practitioner, you check out David Allen’s podcast (EP:1) to get an “under the hood apreciation of what THINGS 3 can do for your life. I have share this with another GTD enthusiast and he has found it just as I have. Has all the “repeatable” functions and more. Having tried Todoist, Asana and others which proved to be either a longer learning curve or just to complex for a simple guy like me, I decided once more to try out a new app that might serve as a platform for GTD (Getting Things Done by David Allen) and can happily say THIS IS IT!!! Up and running quickly I immediately found it offering so much interactive functions with my calendar and Siri, it quickly both imported my reminders and notes and imported them as well so now everything is in one place, easily accessible in my Windows, PC and my iPhone with just a command or touch of a button and delightfully simple to use yet complete enough to both capture my thoughts, lists, and projects and organizes them with recognizable headers and easy to move list items to other headers when needed.
