Managing Task types on an iPhone
Working with GTD, I identified there are 4 types of tasks:
- Time sensitive
- Date specific
- To-dos
- Lists
And, I’ve always looked for the “One” app which would be an end in itself. But after surfing through productivity porn for almost an year, I discovered, there isn’t one such app and probably there’ll never be. Then what is the best way manage taks on an iPhone? Below is the system I’ve created:
Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
Whats on my iPhone?
My most used apps
Lets be clear. I’m a Apple nut. I love Apple products. My first purchase was a iPod photo 5 years back. I followed it with iPod Shuffle 3 years back. Then, 2 years back I made my significant purchase – iMac 27”. I fell in love with the machine, the apps. I just loved them. I didn’t want to leave this beast at home and go to office and work on the dull windows computers. Later that year, I purchased my MacBook Pro 15”. Another love affair. I type this post on that machine. And, finally, last year, I purchased a long delayed, much wanted iPhone 4. I’ve never loved gadgets as much as I loved my phone and macs; the ecosystem of apps they brought-in – changed the way I look at technology and enriched my life. Searching for apps, both for my iPhone and Mac became a hobby.
