I have tried to be as thorough as possible:Ī Two-Fold Solution to enhance viewing Tasks by Statusġ) Re-do the Sort by Status pull-down menu for Tasks. Working with Tasks could be made much easier-and DayLite enhanced-by doing the following, which I would be open to discussing further with Marketcircle staff, in the event the company is interested in implementing the following but would like additional input. To see more Tasks of more than one Status, a user must either sort multiple times, which makes inefficient use of time, or view All tasks, which makes inefficient use of screen real estate. (The pull-down menu for sorting Timeblocks by Status, in contrast, has every possible Status a user can check for a Timeblock.)ģ) It is impossible to simultaneously view Tasks of several different (but not all) Statuses-a user interface problem that makes working with long lists of Tasks exceedingly difficult. Any “new” item, after all, requires someone to determine what to do with it (i.e., to “Determine Action”)-or to route it in a multi-user environment for someone else to “Determine Action” or “Determine Delegate.” Why, then, have a “New” Status? (Significantly, DayLite does allow a user to set “Determine Action” as the default for new Tasks-which has helped to minimize confusion at my business.)Ģ) The pull-down menu for sorting Tasks by status is incomplete: it does not have every currently built-in Status that might characterize a Task. Problems Directly Related to Using DayLite with "Getting Things Done"ġ) The “New” Status is redundant and confusing. It seems to me the above schema makes working with Tasks in DayLite difficult. I've outline these difficulties in an e-mail to Marketcircle, part of which I've copied below, in hopes that other GTD users might be able to either (a) encourage MarketCircle to make the following suggested changes or (b) let me know how you've been able to work around the difficulties I've encountered.Ĭurrently, DayLite’s "Status" field has the following options for Tasks:ĭayLite’s pull-down menu for sorting Tasks by Status, however, has only the following options:

Has anyone else tried this app? Does it work as well as I'm seeing (having given it only a short (but fairly thorough) work-through)? Anyone have any horror stories to share about the program - or vice versa? In short, is it worth the money?ĭifficulties implementing GTD with DayLITEįirst, let me say that MarketCircle's DayLite is the best application I've found in Mac OS X for implementing GTD-but I have also run into some serious difficulties. It's made for business users, and they seem to have hit the mark (with me, at least!).Īs I said, I don't work for the company or anything of the sort, but I had an itch, and this appears to completely resolve my issues and concerns.

It's beautiful, simple, and more powerful than I'll need right now (which gives me room to grow). Today I downloaded the brand new version of DayLite from and am delighted to see that it integrates perfectly with the Palm, and works like a true Mac application should. If they're working for you: kudos, and ignore my rant. All of the above apps didn't do it for me, for one reason or another. I've tried iCal/Address Book, Now-Up-To-Date, Entourage, Palm Desktop, LifeBalance, and maybe others which currently escape me.Ĭombined with my aging Palm m500, I've looked in vain for something that's logical, beautiful, and, most importantly, makes GTD straightforward and natural. I don't work for anyone in the tech industry (anymore!), but I have to report that I have finally found a native Mac solution that seems to work *perfectly* with how I use GTD.
