Click on the “New Action” button and you’re prompted with a simple text field, but click again on the “Options” and you’re presented with an expanded window with the possibility to: insert a context, time, date, make it a starred action, set up repeating times and even add multiple actions at once. You can fine-tune the app to make it work like you want it to work, and excuse me if I say that this is a major advantage over its competitors.Īdding tasks (actions) is simple, but then again - you can change the behavior of the new task menu. If there’s one thing Nozbe is great at, it’s customization. A project can be made inbox and labelled, too, and you can also invite people to the project (thus the collaborative features of the app), print it and create a RSS for it. Unlike the aforementioned Basecamp though, Nozbe is much more similar to desktop applications like OmniFocus and Things in its approach to personal productivity: you can create projects, dump actions in the Inbox for future review, assign contexts to actions and label them for quick retrieval. It’s very simple and straightforward, but for what it’s meant to do - it definitely get its job done. Just like 37signal’s Basecamp, the user interface design of isn’t exactly something you’d wish you could look at all day. Oh, and with team-management capabilities. I’ll just throw this out there: if you’re not an OmniFocus user and feel the need of having more than just tasks in your GTD application, Nozbe is the best you can have right now. I was intrigued by the whole “Do in the web, find it again on mobile apps” concept, and I was fascinated by the terrific amount of integration with 3rd party online services the developers advertised. A couple of weeks ago I signed up for a Nozbe account and downloaded the iPhone and iPad apps.
That’s why when Cody and I reviewed Basecamp and Backpack we decided to talk about our experience, rather than giving away some pretentious advices to wanna-be entrepreneurs and the like. I can’t come up here and say “Hey, you should work this way - don’t organize tasks like that”. More on this tomorrow, though.ĭiscussing GTD is like talking about favorite foods: at an extent, it’s pointless. I am a busy husband and dad who still manages to get things done, and I look forward to helping you learn the secrets to using Nozbe as the center of your digital productivity system.Talking about GTD apps and online tools is difficult, and you know why? Because my method of Getting Things Done will always be different from yours, so will the apps I use, so will the fact that I used to constantly switch between different softwares. My background in education, leadership, and remote business operations have given me a diverse understanding of productivity systems and communication with both in-person and distributed teams. I served as an officer in the US Army for eight years and taught for 10 years at one of the top schools in the US. My work has also been featured in Productive! Magazine and the Nozbe blog.īefore my move into business, I was a Soldier and a school teacher. I have worked with clients such as Matt McWilliams (The Affiliate Guy) and The Speaker Lab as well as other leading online companies including Michael Hyatt and Platform University. As their fractional integrator, I work with them to design and streamline their project management systems, client acquisition, product delivery, and customer experience.
