GTD with Things 3

Loved this read, worth every penny. Simple, short, clear, instructive, and very articulate. I set mine up line for line by the book and realized I was learning the GTD method even better than before. Then put your own style on it and rock it! Thank you

Things 3 is so incredibly easy to just start using that I hesitated buying this book. WIth that out of the way, do yourself a favor and just buy it. It’s a super quick read, but if you aren’t familiar with GTD this will give you a very high level overview. More importantly it will give you an excellent structure to begin organizing yourself inside Things. Along the way I even learned about a couple of features that make Things even more incredible for me, like repeating projects.

I tried to click with Things 2 years ago, but I could not get it to click with GTD which has been an invaluable workflow for me. With Things 3 coming out, I happened to see this book pass me on my twitter feed and picked it up!

It’s a fantastic from the ground up how to implement GTD in Things 3 with everything explained clearly! Screenshots, lists, and processes are all clearly defined here. GTD is even explaned pretty clearly to the point that i’d say even if you havent read Getting Things Done, you’d get a pretty great primer with this book. If GTD is your workflow and you’re looking at giving Things 3 a try, i’d say this is requred reading.

The only slightly negative (not enough to knock the score) is due to the fact the book hasent been updated since launch. Cultured Code just added the ability to do repeating tasks, which was not avaialble when Things 3 launched, therefore the book gives you an alternate way to do repating tasks. This was great when Things 3 came out, but i’d love for new users coming in now to get that little piece updated.
