So what’s the big deal about OmniFocus? There are dozens of to-do and reminder apps, with sync, available for far less than OmniFocus. (The one thing that I like even more about Evernote is that I can also access everything via any web browser, but that has not been much of an issue when I use OmniFocus because I always have a OmniFocus device with me). I’m busy, I jot down a note or reminder on my iPhone, and I can fetch it, adding details or changes as I wish, on my iPad, or office iMac. What I like about Evernote, I like (or will soon like) about OmniFocus. When something needs to get done, I enter it into OmniFocus. I no longer make random lists (well, almost never). And every task, every to-do, every reminder is logged in a capable, well-designed software application called OmniFocus.

During the past few months, I have retrained myself so that all notes are dated, tagged, written and stored in Evernote.

We’ve certainly experienced this phenomenon with smart phones, then tablets, email, web browsing, and for some, Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking activities. Every once in a while, a tool becomes an indispensable part of everyday life.
