![]() Part of that is due to the power of saved searches, as mentioned above, but there doesn’t seem to be much you can’t change in Toodledo, including the columns and the default view. Toodledo is more customizable than OmniFocus. For example, a Perspective must be Context-based or Project-based. With OmniFocus, you can set up filters and save them as Perspectives (similar to saved searches), but I’ve found that those filters are much more limiting. You can, for example, make a search that returns all entires that you’ve Starred, and that are due within a certain number of day, and that fall within a certain folder and certain context. ![]() ![]() For an example of some saved searches that I use, check out my post on using Toodledo as a quasi-GTD tool. With Toodledo, the ability to parse your data is almost limitless. It is More Powerful When Slicing and Dicing Your Data ![]() OmniFocus, by contrast, is only available on Mac and iOS, so it isn’t a good choice if Windows is your primary platform.Ģ. Even if you don’t have an Internet connection, you can use Toodledo as a back end, and still access your data with several desktop apps, as long as you remembered to sync when you last had a connection. It is an advantage because being a web app makes Toodledo platform-independent, and available just about anywhere. In fact, I’ve hedged my bets and counted it as both an advantage and disadvantage. Instead, this is just a look at the factors that were important to me when deciding whether to make the switch.ĭepending on your point of view, being a web app might be an advantage or disadvantage of Toodledo. This is not intended to be a full review of each app. Here are some reasons to switch, and some reasons to stay put. While there are some reasons not to switch, a few compelling reasons helped me to decide to make the move. I’ve abandoned Toodledo as my task management app of choice, and moved on to OmniFocus. Its great and I swear nobody else has it except, I think, My Life Organized which doesn't have a Mac app, but is what I would use if on Windows.I’ve been a big fan of Toodledo ever since I first reviewed it back in 2010. Point is, the Review mode shows me the right stuff at the right time and frequency. That project is set to review daily because it is important when its project due date arrives.īut if I call and the schedule isn't ready, I set the Next Review date of the project to say, a week out, and leave it reviewing every day. * have a dated task to setup the next appointment * once the appointment is scheduled, I need to set a reminder in an app called Due (it nags me) to get my kid's brace and diaper bag in the car the morning of the appointment and one to take it back out of the car (I know, I'm crazy) * call them for a new appointment since the Dr's schedule 6 months from now isn't posted to the receptionist yet There are special projects too, for example, my "new orthopedic appt" for my kid. So, when I click the Review button, depending on the day, I might see all three projects (on 8/1), only two every Friday, or one every day. Important project for work reviews daily. Most are monthly, but some might be weekly (Bills)įor example, yard cleanup might be set to review every year, but its next review date is 8/1, so I have time to think about things before summer cools off and I can actually do the work.īills are set to review every week and on a Friday (when I pay them). High priority projects are set to review every day You can stop reading hear, but if you need ideas, my setup is:ĭefault setting: review every day this forces me to change the project's own "review every" setting to something more appropriate some are every year some are daily * review every: after marking a project reviewed, this is applied to determine when it will next be up for review * next review: the next date the project becomes due for review Any new project has this applied to it.I set this to 1 day. * "review projects every X days/week/month": I can't find this in the iOS apps, but it is in the desktop app's preferences. And I would set the app default to something you expect. You can go to an individual project and check its settings. Your default review might have things out in the future so you aren't seeing them yet. It depends on what your review settings are.Įach project has its own settings and there is an app default applied to new projects. Review mode only shows projects that are overdue/due for review on the current day.
