You can’t possibly mention productivity anywhere without thinking of Evernote. Paying for the full app unlocks even more of its potential, including a night theme, dictionary and thesaurus research, and markdown support. It’s my favorite way of writing on Android, and that is saying something because I write a lot. This beautifully designed, minimalistic app saves local files or syncs with Dropbox, has external keyboard support (with shortcuts), word count, different preset layouts and fonts, and more. Text note editors on Android don’t hold a candle to JotterPad. Type “Make a call tomorrow at 9am” and Todoist will add the task and assign the appropriate date and time to it. There is a lot more to Todoist, but you will have to start using the app to discover its true power.ĭownload: Todoist: To-Do List, Task List JotterPad (Writer) Creating projects, adding tasks and subtasks, assigning labels, is an easy (pardon the pun) task.īut it’s the app’s ability to handle common English that sets it apart from many competitors. I have personally tried many task and to-do list managers on Android, but none has been as reliable, as frequently updated, as beautiful, or as simple as Todoist.

It’s a journey that began with my first post here: GTD in Evernote with Only One Notebook (posted a year and a week ago ), and continued through reviews of Action Method Online and on into my latest experiment, Producteev 2. I have really been enjoying Producteev, and have been using it exclusively for some time now - so I decided it was time to attempt a full GTD implementation, and see how it would work. After some trial and error, I’m satisfied. Check out a walkthrough of my method for GTD in Producteev, below. Now let’s get right into it, shall we? There are a few possible ways to set up an effective GTD process in Producteev, including adapting the smart filters in the left tab, or extensive use of labels for contexts (this will work better if Producteev introduces labels that can be persistent across workspaces). Neither of those methods quite did it for me, though. I needed a system that would be able to provide me with snapshots of my task list in non-overwhelming chunks (by context), even in Overview mode. Currently, the Overview tab doesn’t show labels and I like to use the smart filters and labels, both, to provide further subsets of task-data for easy, at-a-glance viewing. To bend Producteev to my will, I chose to take advantage of their unlimited workspaces. I set up my main workspace as my “Brain Dump” inbox - I call it that because that’s what it is, and because the Producteev sidebar already has something named “Inbox”, that did not suit my purposes. I then created a workspace for every major context. I understand the collaborative power that Producteev brings to the table, but the fact is that most tasks in your day, when put into a GTD context, do not require collaboration. Your general task list is personal to you, and under Producteev’s current pricing model, you can set up as many personal workspaces as you need to, for free.
