I actually like your advice but it's such an obvious sales pitch for your software.

Your ulterior motives make me nauseous.

P.S. I would probably try your software if it wasn't stuck in windows land. Why not make a WebApp?



Honestly, I think the list is quite good - It's not like any of the suggestions couldn't carry over into OmniFocus or Org-Mode, and most of them are of the "life hack" variety that aren't tech focused.


I thought the list was good without having any intention of looking at the software mentioned. Also, if I were to write a similar list I would probably mention a bunch of software in a similar tone as the author does, except I would obviously not be the author of any of the software.


Thanks. If I didn't use it, I wouldn't mention it.

Well, Windows land is our niche. Once we get the online synchronization and a companion web-app (with support for mobile devices) going, we will have kinda unique product combo.


Actually, Toodledo is a free online service (free for the 'light' version) and syncs with many apps - mobile of all sorts, desktop (Win/Linux/Max), has API, ...

It's very cool and not to be dissing your product, but if you'd just add Toodledo sync you'd have all bases covered (you can't compete if you will try to develop apps for all these platforms yourself).


Reminded me a lot about GTD, for that there's Things (OS X/ iOS) and I also know of http://gtd-free.sourceforge.net/


Your ulterior motives make me nauseous.

FWIW: nauseous is to nauseated as poisonous is to poisoned.


You are incorrect.

nau·seous adj \ˈnȯ-shəs, ˈnȯ-zē-əs\ Definition of NAUSEOUS

1 : causing nausea or disgust : nauseating 2 : affected with nausea or disgust — nau·seous·ly adverb — nau·seous·ness noun See nauseous defined for English-language learners » Usage Discussion of NAUSEOUS

Those who insist that nauseous can properly be used only in sense 1 and that in sense 2 it is an error for nauseated are mistaken. Current evidence shows these facts: nauseous is most frequently used to mean physically affected with nausea, usually after a linking verb such as feel or become; figurative use is quite a bit less frequent. Use of nauseous in sense 1 is much more often figurative than literal, and this use appears to be losing ground to nauseating. Nauseated is used more widely than nauseous in sense 2.
