But if there are several contexts applied to a task, then the @ will make perfect sense. For example: "Tell X about the latest revision on Project Y" is an office task related to Project Y which should be done via phone. So there are several @s here: @office @phone @Project Y. So, if you are doing all the tasks that should be done by phone, or at the office, or related to project Y; you'll find this task. The @ is indeed redundant if the task is only fit into one context.

So @internet means that the tasks are internet related, while @home is everything that could be done at home, and so on. This one is a GTD thingy. You can find lots of literature on the net about GTD. My understanding of @ is that it provide context to the task.

There's both an application for the Mac and the iPhone with a simple way to sync data between the two devices. Not only can I free my brain from having to remember to bring home an extra jug of milk, I also can make notes worth keeping over the longer term. When I need to access a note on my laptop, Things is available from my Dock. When I'm away from the computer and have my iPhone in hand, I have access to all the Things information on my computer.

I needed something that I could access via the web from any place. So I'm using Toodledo (www.toodledo.com). It is very smart in ranking priorities based on importance and date. I'm using the free trial, but will purchase it ($15/year) because it is a reasonable cost. I’ve just bought an iMac, but use a PC at work.

Then again, I don't have a cool Iphone... yet. I find that since most of my tasks are computer related, Gmail’s Task add-on is sufficient. Then again, I don’t have a cool Iphone… yet.

For two major reasons: 1 - Flexibility. It has a relatively steep learning curve, but you the semi-openness of the application allows me to use it the way <strong>I</strong> want to use. With apps like Things I feel like I'm being forced to do things the way the developer wants me to do them. 2 - Capture anywhere. It runs on my iPhone and have that with me wherever I go. It actually impresses people that I remember things they've asked me to do only once. Little do they know I immediately added it to OmniFocus. Nothing will ever beat OmniFocus for me.
