I’m 90% sure reminders is all I need for task management…and yet here I am thinking about things 3 and omnifocus again.

@ChrisJWilson No matter what I try, I seem to always end up back on Things 3. I think the app is just so nicely done and so well integrated with all the OS features (shortcuts, keyboard, etc) it just draws me back time after time.

@philbowell I used Things for a while (6?) years ago and loved it. For, reasons?, I found myself back on Todoist and that stuck with me for a while. I've been so analog for a while but I can see that I need some more of the digital benefits at the moment (like reoccurring tasks and projects. Especially with annoying contractor business admin). I've never actually used Things on the Mac though 🫢

@ChrisJWilson It's worth a look. I've started using the import from Reminders function recently which has closed one of my points of friction with getting tasks from Teams messages into Things. Works well.

@philbowell my only real gripe with Things (a deal breaker) is the inability to mark recurring tasks complete early. They appear to have no interest in providing this and I can’t imagine why they favour their approach.

@BestofTimes I’ve complained about this on two separate occasions to them as well. Still nothing.

@BestofTimes ah, I’ve heard others with that problem. I fortunately don’t have repeating tasks of that nature.

@philbowell @ChrisJWilson Another enthusiastic thumbs up for Things here. It’s pretty to look at, simple on the surface, but has a lot of flexibility and power for how you might want to use it.

@ChrisJWilson I'm also a heavy Things user. I tried to switch everything over to Reminders about 6 months ago just to try. It didn't work well. There were still too many gaps in my system.
