Getting a good mix of products to handle your routine is critical – and a process that a lot of us never complete – am glad you found something that is really working for you. For me, splitting to-do items between multiple systems would be a recipe for disaster.

thanks for the comments!

You can still be productive using Thymer without learning the task entry syntax – but a little bit of time with it to maximize your efficiency is well worth the investment.

Personally, I’ve finally devised a to-do system that’s a cross between Highrise and Basecamp that’s been working out well for me.

Any projects, my daily routines, etc go into Basecamp, as to-do lists. I can upload any relevant information and make notes on any particular task in the comments section.

Any VA work or to-do’s that involve some form of contact go into Highrise.

I like that it let’s me keep my VA client work and side projects and writing separate without having to spread things across too many apps. 37 Signals products are heavily featured (I could never part with Drag-and-Drop!), have great integration with other products, and are actually pretty to use.

Syntax. For tasks. Means I’m not interested.

And that’s beside the “Where am I?” “In the Village!” typeface. :-)
