#Nozbe vs omnifocus update#

Servers are fast to update over the cloud on both mobile and WIFI.

Apps for all platforms (Mac, Windows, Android, iOS).

If you are wanting to get things done, the stand alone hands down winner is Todist. Task management and to do lists will continue to evolve in the SaaS (software as a service) model. Todoist- The Clear Winner For Straight To Dos The service is $28 USD a year and has all the features of the other services and a solid company behind the service, although they seem to work virtually much like the Nozbe folks without the expenses of having real corporate offices. After a lot of testing, price performance checks we were very happy with.

We briefly looked at other options such as action items in Evernote (as we use it), Omnifocus as well as Remember the Milk. Also, the ability to email a list to people is a nice feature in Wunderlist. Just missing the cool format that Wunderlist had. We tested Any.do next but found the interface to be too plain. People remember what happened to Nokia as well as Skype once they sold out… product and service degradation. The part that makes most people unwilling to spend money is that Wunderlist was bought by Microsoft. Wunderlist is a very nice product from Germany but unfortunately only about $20 USD less than Nozbe. With a bit more research we discovered Wunderlist. We like Nozbe as it is so well supported, however $80 USD a year for a stand alone service was a bit much for us. With the cloud so prevalent now, there are many more task management services out there. We recently did a refresh on the options for task management as the key to having successful projects is doing the tasks in involved with the projects. We wrote about one service we liked called Nozbe here. We all have reminders on our iPhones and action lists in various forms on our various devices.

What does that mean in 20 or 30 years? That much of what we do will be digital vapor as no paper is used, but digital does have it’s benefits. It’s just that much of the tools have gone digital. Getting things done is nothing new as we’ve seen from the famous Franklin Day Planner of the US, or the Filofax brand planners of the UK. In fact, there is a whole way of doing things called Getting Things Done (or GTD) that was pulled together by American author David Allen in his 2001 book of the same name. Part of being happy is the satisfaction of getting things done.
