GTD
We all know GTD apps are a dime a dozen. They’re quite the fad right now and new apps continue to pop up on a daily basis. Some of us are so addicted to GTD apps that we can’t actually get anything done because we’re too busy playing with all the different solutions.
Consequently, I chose the selections in this category carefully. You already know about Remember the Milk and Backpack so I wanted to present a fresher more unique collection with a few choices you may have not tried yet.
Each of the apps below represent an excellent way to manage your daily tasks. Some of them are included because of their unique perspective while others represent the best of the traditional selection with the highest value (often free). Be sure to stop by each of the sites below so you can decide which is best for you!
1. Producteev
Producteev is hands down one of the best free productivity solutions on the market. You get all the power of desktop apps like Things with the convenience of anywhere accessibility and even a free iPhone app that stays synced with the web service.
If you haven’t tried Producteev yet, start here and the options below may not be necessary. Reoccurring tasks, calendar and list views, tags, contexts; it’s all here along with a bunch of other great features that you won’t believe they don’t charge you to use.
2. TeuxDeux
TeuxDeux is one of those rare apps that changes the way you think about an entire category, not through complexity and endless features, but through simplicity. TeuxDeux presents you with your task list a week at a time. The completely unique five day view has become my favorite way to look at my week.
If you’re looking for a dead simple solution that’s free and has the potential to really change the way you work, check out TeuxDeux. There’s also a great TeuxDeux iPhone app for only $2.99.
