The Checklist Manifesto
5/8/2019
Interesting, if I understand @washere's interventions above, I seem to have thoroughly misunderstood the nature of my career's work. LOL. Oh, well.
The Checklist Manifesto
5/7/2019
I think of a checklist as a reproducible sequence of events or decisions (which are also events) that lead with certainty to an outcome specified in advance. ("You'll arrive at Mars if you start wit...
NotePlan 2.0
5/7/2019
Thanks for the heads up, Steve.
Interesting horse race developing now between NotePlan 2 and what I assume will be Agenda 6. NotePlan upping the ante with improved design and tweaks, and Agenda com...
DEVONthink 3 Public Beta Now Open
4/30/2019
Good analyses, @NickG and @Skywatcher.
Maybe the motive is simply "since any grifter can claim religiosity, we'll just have to say no to all of them". Makes economic sense.
Devonthink 3 Beta
4/29/2019
I've posted elsewhere that I've used the DEVONthink 3 alphas and betas (pre-public and public) for several years -- yes it was a very long development cycle. I have never lost any data in DEVONthin...
OPML question
4/28/2019
Andy, I've worked with many apps that attempt to do a good job of OPML export -- and frequently fail. It goes back to the root intent of Dave Winer's OPML "standard" (loosely conceived), which was t...
DEVONthink 3 Public Beta Now Open
4/27/2019
Data loss is something I've never experienced with DEVONthink 2 or 3. I've been using DEVONthink 3 in alpha and pre-public betas and public betas for several years. Never lost a thing. I transfer...
Bill, you (and Robert Caro of course) could benefit from the Surface Hub 2
https://blogs.windows.com/devices/2018/05/15/meet-surface-hub-2/
A bargain at $9K for each screen.

Some years ago a topic here discussed the biographer Robert Caro's outline for his "The Years of Lyndon Johnson".

Tinderbox 8 is released
4/20/2019
Steve Z. added a nice explainer video about Tinderbox 8's "filter" option for filtering an Outline View tab.

Good points, Hugh. I suspect that working out "the optimal structure" before you begin" is what can lead to the "all fiddling and no results" concern that some folks have with Tinderbox.
Emergence i...

Thank you for the blog post and video, Steve. I suspect the hyperbolic view will evolve as Mark Bernstein gets comments from users. For me, I'd like to see curvy edges (link lines) instead of straig...
Tinderbox 8 is released
4/15/2019
Really constructive posts, above, from Bill, NickG, Steve Z, Chris T, Beck T, and many others I'm neglecting to call out (sorry). It is that thoughtful, objective and in-depth commentary -- from dif...

4/14/2019
Possible, but since perceived value depends on one's personal utility curve and it is hard to judge that for complex software without hands on experience, I would personally reserve judgment about "ri...
RIP Tony Buzan
4/14/2019
Buzan was so enthusiastic and fun to watch and listen to. Sad that he's gone.

Hyperbolic view is a case of this sort of graph
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_tree
I believe it still somewhat experimental, meaning users will have cases that might not work well in hype...

I've read the same book you have. All three editions. It explains common uses for Tinderbox. It is not a manual; no one said it was.

The Tinderbox Weekends were good -- I never was able to attend one nearby, but I own all the materials produced with them. I don't know why they stopped -- I would guess diminished interest from part...
Tinderbox 8 is released
4/13/2019
Mark Bernstein has written several editions of his book, A Tinderbox Way, to help users work through common approaches to using Tinderbox. Over the past 18 years the Tinderbox forum has been an acti...

Tinderbox is a tool room full of interesting, sometimes complex tools. Just as one wouldn't walk into a woodworkers shop, look at the tools, and ask "why", I think "why" is not the question to ask Ti...
One outliner for Mac, iPad, and iPhone
4/10/2019
I think Outline has outlived its usefulness. It seemed to start life as a OneNote viewer when OneNote was not available on Mac.
I agree with the Reddit answer. There’s a strong dose of unhealthy self-regard in a lot of the “productivity” forums, books, podcasts, and so on. When I see folks writing about the...
There's a beta out for Agenda 5.2 that is said to include importing Evernote .enex files into Agenda. Haven't tried it yet.
@smalldog, your example is the useful case for "context".
I was referring to "context" in the Getting Things Done sense for task tracking -- a sense that I have probably bastardized, something I sus...
The concept of "contexts" always befuddles me. It feels artificial. "Oh, look, I'm in the garden. Let me look at my list to see what I can do now." I know the GTD theory is "out of mind until yo...
