I found my way to this forum through Workflowy => Dr. Andus Blog Post => to here.

I don’t usually (really never) sign up for forums, but it seems like there is a nice community here that I took the plunge. For whatever reason, I’m so fascinated by the whole productivity software category that it probably has eaten more time than saved. My wife is the most product person I know, and she uses her calendar and email for task management (1 email that she keeps replying back to herself to take / update notes).

As for me, I’ve gone through….oh let’s see (these are only the ones that I’ve spent some real time with).

* OneNote
* Remember the Milk
* Todleedo
* Evernote (now my primary for paperless office/archive….not for active note/task management)
* Wunderlist
* AnyDo
* TaskPaper
* OmniFocus

Now I’m going to give WorkFlowy a try (been using it for about 2 weeks), and just bought book from Frank (http://www.productivitymashup.com/do-way-way-more-in-workflowy/).

Bottom line is, I want 1 tool…where I can start my day where my todos/notes/thoughts/journal are all in 1 place. I can live with calendar and archived information/resources in another place.

The closest thing was TaskPaper, but the support has become almost non-existent from the developer. I bought into the whole OmniFocus/AsianEfficieny combo, but it felt too rigid. I felt like I was doing PM (project management) work every morning…which is not what I enjoy.

Workflow seems to be fluid, where it allows me to breath and stretch, yet create loose structure if I wish. And if I don’t adhere to the loose structure, it don’t fall apart in matter of days/weeks.

Gonna give it a real try.

Sorry for the long monologue.
