I just checked my profile and I can't believe it. Did not realize that GTD and Nirvana had given me the extra time to do other things.

    You know what this means!

    I need to add more things on my todo list. The Someday list needs to get checked during my weekly review and some of the items need to become active. lol

    That's great! Thanks a lot for being very helpful, you deserve better. :)
    By the way, I'm curious, have you tried Vitalist?

    I have tried Vitalist nut it was missing some features I wanted while
    beign too expensive when compared to Toodledo.

    Toodledo was priced great with many features but was not designed
    specifically for GTD which made it hard to use.

    Thinking Rock was powerful and made for GTD but was restricted to the
    desktop.

    I can go on and on

    Nozbe = Fail
    TidyGTD = Fail
    RTM = Fail
    Doit.Im = Fail
    Getitdone.app = Fail
    Tada List = Fail
    Fusion, Action List , etc

    I can probably name a dozen more that I tried.

    what did you miss by vitalist?

    assume that according to you N2 is what comes closest to perfection?

    Vitalist was actually not bad at all. I needed the paid version to get all the features I really wanted and it was just too expensive. At the time I compared the cost vs. features between Vitalist and Toodledo. Toodledo was a far better value so I used it for over 1 year.

    I then realized that much of my time was spent tweaking things to work the way I want, so I started to look for applications designed strictly for GTD. I found several and tried many of them.

    In the end, I found Nirvana and it was simple to use and followed GTD very closely, so I stuck with it. Yes it's missing some features I really want, but I keep hoping that it will go Live one day soon and the new features will finally arrive.

    I found that using Nirvana made me more productive even if it was missing some key features. The reason for this is that I did not have to mess with the UI to make it work for GTD. It was designed for GTD and I did not have anything to mess with, so I started focusing on my task. ROFL.

    There are some good potential competitors out there that I am keeping my eye on, but Nirvana really does work for me.

    When you have 10 brain cells, you need something simple. :-)
