Get Everything Done

Thanks, Jupiter, that video was interesting. That guy has a way about him that holds your interest. Besides illustrating the points and potential of his Note Taker HD app, it is probably a better video than any expensive video that Apple has come up with demonstrating the capabilities of iPad.

I think apps like Note Pad and Upad take time to get used to. The first reactions may not be so intriguing.

Jupiter- any update after you have had time to use Note Taker HD for awhile now? Still like it?

Thanks, Jupiter. It looks like we kind of went through the same thing. Only since I already have Omni (and because it syncs so well with the iPad and iPhone) do I use it as a place to enter project actions for SF. I want to keep it simple. It could be anything really to catch and retrieve next actions (like Things or Toodledo or a project notebook). It's when I start getting fancy with it that it turns into a problem. It gets too big, and too outdated, too quickly. The contexts thing is also tempting because those tasks sync automatically with iCal, etc., etc., etc.
I find that SF is a luxury that works when I am not out of control. When out of control, anything will suffice - I could write 3 of the top 18 fires to put out on my forehead (or on a sticky note) in the morning. Of course, everything else that is needed to move forward goes to hell.
I also use a daily notebook like you. I call it my Pomodoro notebook because the Pomodoro technique requires me to think about what I am going to do for the next 25 minutes, and if it is a silly thing, I am more apt to recognise it.
But again, the daily notebook turns into an old-style to-do list, and you find yourself dealing with the A, B, C priorities and making only partial headway down the list each day- and missing all the benefits and balance of SF.
But I appreciate all your comments, and thanks for getting me to take a look at Note Taker HD. The developer really has ambition and has done a lot of work to satisfy user requests with so many neat features. (It doesn't surprise me that he is the inventor of the spreadsheet.) But for now, I just use it like the Chronicle app because it is so easy to add an image and make comments by hand or by typing - but more like a past-time (journal) instead of a tool.
