I recently found this site:
http://www.skoach.com
I have found that it helps me much more than Omnifocus. I really like Omnifocus and have been a user for a while, but could never get it to "stick".
I ran across Skoach and I'm hooked. I was looking through the forums here about the possibility of incorporating a calendar view into OF and noticed that it seems like it's not really wanted.
The problem I have with OF is that I want my tasking application to have everything in it. I don't like the idea of working with one application (OF) that does some tasks and another (iCal) for other tasks. That makes no sense to me.
Hard and soft landscape tasks may be different in one respect, but they are essentially the same thing: a task. Working between two completely different applications just feels wrong to me. Now, if I were doing everything on paper having a calendar and task list works because I would simply keep both in the same binder. On a computer though, two applications feel like two different worlds to me.
I also like the way that you can see tasks in Skoach and then drag them into your schedule which is broken up into different time "zones". It makes it much easier to come up with a realistic plan for the week ahead. I find myself getting lost with the GTD approach where all I see is an endless list of tasks with no plan whatsoever to actually fit them in.
Just thought I'd post this to give Omni some ideas and help other users who may be like me and get something out of Skoach.
