After about a year away from Things 3, I’ve come back to try it again. I have some rather complex projects now that I didn’t before, e.g. book publishing and exciting transition-related projects.

Apple Reminders is a great app for simple things but it wasn’t detail-oriented enough for this level of work. This time, however, I realize I won’t be getting rid of one to use the other. I’ll keep using Apple Reminders for location-based reminders (so amazing for shopping, etc.) and also for the kanban view I love for my packing & prep lists for travel.

Things 3 has a better iOS widget too. Cleaner look, display options are better and I can’t accidentally check something completed using Things widget.

I will miss embedding images into a reminder and having a dedicated URL entry item that Reminders provides.

We shall see how long this experiment lasts. I’m excited. And hoping to be productive and use a tool not fight with it.
