Using Evernote for Mac+PC+iPhone
So I checked out Omnifocus and I REALLY liked it, but the lack of a PC app kills it. I need a way to manage my stuff at work.
So I'm using Evernote. By default it's just a list management program - it doesn't have any of the GTD processes built-in the way that Omnifocus does. So it took me a really long time to figure out how to adapt it for my purposes. I looked at Fokke's blog and others that I found in the Evernote forums.
But now that I've got it going, it works GREAT. I use it as both my reference file and my GTD list, so I'm killing two birds with one stone. I set up notebooks (their parlance for folders) for my inbox, next actions, waiting for, someday/maybe, and projects (split into personal and professional). Then I use tags for context, not only ways to work but also for people. I used to waste lots of time trying to figure out agendas for 1:1s with my staff, peers,and boss. Now I just do a search for tags linked to that person and for "Waiting For" and I have my agenda right there.
The iPhone cilent is really good. I was using Reqall before (way too simplistic for GTD), and it took forever to launch. The iPhone is really quick, and it's nice that I can get to all my reference files (I access restaurant menus on the go all the time). The cherry on top is that it geo-codes the notes, so if I am doing something that's geography specific, it remembers where I was (haven't really figured out yet how to incorporate this).
Minor downsides are that there's no way to automate "Completion" (as in it's hard to hide the completed items - I just delete them), you can't put due dates on things that have to happen on a specific day (I use my calendar), and the PC client doesn't auto-fill tags as you type (the Mac client does this and it saves a ton of time).
The big downside, again, is that unlike Omnifocus and other GTD-built apps, you have to create your own folders and tags for GTD.
