![]() The move from IQTell to Todoist took three days. Picture: Īfter using a few days to get an overview of current alternatives, I prepared to move to Todoist. I can remember exactly where I was when I read the announcement that IQTell was shutting down on 18 August 2015. I was doing everything I could to make IQTell a success. During a GTD seminar with David Allen in Oslo, I told him about the system and why I loved it so much. By the time I reached my office, I had inbox zero and a task list ready to be tackled.Īt this time, I was promoting IQTell in all channels. My morning commute on the train was now the time when I would go through my emails and create actions on what I needed to handle. The EZ Inbox – a single inbox for all email accounts, gave me one place to work with all of my emails. IQTell totally changed my morning routine. Given that the company was one year old, they still had a lot of development ahead, but I felt that the core concept was good and that the people involved really had a passion. The press coverage was positive, with a lot of appraisals. Not only was the system hard-core GTD, but it also took care of my email, meaning that I could create tasks from email and still keep the connection to the email. The system was also platform independent, supporting Android and Apple devices, as well as having a good web application.īesides all of this, IQTell had an excellent customer service. ![]() When I found IQTell, I was in productivity heaven. Before this, I had been trying out My Life Organized, Remember The Milk, Todoist, Zendone, Toodledo, FacileThings, Wunderlist and Outlook as my GTD based productivity system. I started using IQTell at the beginning of 2014. My hunt for the perfect productivity system IQTell, my productivity hub, the system I used for email, to-do lists, and planning, was shutting down. I just could not believe what I was reading. I was one of those people who felt my life come to a standstill on the night of August 18, 2015. This is the story of why I moved from IQTell to Todoist. This is also very good.Realizing that you no longer can trust your productivity software is a nightmare. it is a burden which can´t be kept up and which for me is not worthwhile.įorgot to mention that for more complex projects, in particular also for work, I use mindmapping. I have tried tasks, calendar, categories, inbox zero. I feel that electronically I manage with windows and NIrvana. ![]() It´s kind of cool but nothing which can´t be done by windows. Incidentally I had also used onenote for a while but then stopped. I also very much like to establish projects and all sorts of lists which are somewhat interrelated. The tagging function which goes perpendicular to just 2D lists through everything which ever might to be done is just so powerful. The big difference is that something like NIrvana (or similar apps) are literally like 3D To do lists. I also tried Trello which is a bit better but nothing close to a real GTD app. Starting with list apps of course, but in the end those were only lists. Can also recommend the book atomic habits.īefore I went for Nirvana there were so many other things I have tried out. I have started to use a habit former as well (way of life app - quite good but I stopped after a while since it better gets on your radar by itself after a while). It would be interesting to hear from others how they are using software to reflect the principles from the book such as horizons, goals etc, since this can be easier covered in paper format (I think but I am still learning of course)Ĭlick to expand.Hi interesting to see that we might "tick" in a similar fashion. in the meantime I have come to find that good online content overall costs much more than a few years ago so it´s less striking.Īgree with the cons - Calendar integration is missing and not many updates - although basic functionality is very good. The life long pro application now costs 40 USD which at the time was very expensive. that you can use both on the mobile and online. Other alternatives had disadvantages eg not PC compatible or not cloud based. So it strikes me that while two years ago there were seemed to be quite a few alternatives, I have also settled with Nirvana already back then. ![]() As this seems to be a big hurdle for many, do give it a try. This totally reduces time spent and makes for example the reviews much less cumbersome (you can do it on the couch.). Frankly, if people are only half way tech savvy I can so recommend to rather use an electronic solution instead of paper. I also like technology so when I started two years ago I tried an abundance of apps and webbased systems. ![]() I have always liked efficient processes so this was really something for me. I don´t really use GTD that long compared with others (just over two years now) but I agree this is a life changing method. ![]()
