Obviously I don’t actually wish I was busier but as a 25 year old guy with a regular 9-5 job and very organized managers, I rarely have use for most of the software David, Katie, and Stephen talk about. I get about two real emails per day (mostly purchase updates). I never get paper or mail. The only thing I wish I could organize was my work Slack.
I use Things with a light GTD style but that’s it. I’ve given some of the software they use a good try but I was forcing myself to use it, so I mostly quit after the free trial or stick to stock apps. Yet I love the podcast and wish I could make use of all the cool workflows and software.
You’re just not old enough yet. I’ll be glad to share my list of things with you that’s a serious offer, want to help program some cool farming software that will get tested in real life?
I am officially “retired” from the 9-5 and now work on the farm and on my own stuff exclusively.
Yet I cannot even imagine not using Omnifocus and DEVONThink to keep track. E-mails run about 120 a day of which about 1/3 are potentially useful. Current projects about 200 and my someday/maybe lists has thousands of items on it. I have 56 separate someday/maybe lists because one big one was getting too long. Those lists are almost entirely things that are not “work” per se but are either outright hobbies or other things I think would be cool to do but that are not necessary.
