![]() So…let’s say you have a branch called “market research”. I’m guessing that’s not the case for a large number of these. And putting them into a task manager logically means that they’re your deliverables. You have several levels of organization here, happening over five years. If Reminders and Notes are too simple, I think project management tools are too complex for my needs.įirst, if you need Omnifocus, just use Omnifocus.īut let’s circle back to the project itself. I don’t want to react out of frustration due to initial friction, I want to thoughtfully respond. As seen on the screenshot below (smart list on the left, project list on the right) by using tags and dates, I can create a smart list and get close to what I need but it is clunkier than using OF. I’ve come close, even on the strategic planning project. I’ve been attempting to push Reminders and Notes up that scale. But I suspect is correct when he says that Apple’s scope (I’m not sure I’m using the exact verbiage David uses) for its default apps is limited and that on a 10 point feature scale most of them fall into the 5-7 range. There is also value in deep system integration. I’ve done so because there is value to limiting the number of apps and subscriptions. I believe I have probably pushed Reminders and Notes as far as anyone. Yes, I’m afraid as others have pointed out, and my experience is confirming, that some of my projects and related notes and materials are becoming too complex for Reminders and Notes. ![]() Any suggested workarounds? Any other thoughts in general?Īs and suggests, a tool to help you manage your project, which on a task level, appears and you report as too complex for “Notes/Reminders” duo. However, in OF (which I still have), I can export directly from MindNote to OF and all levels are available, see third screenshot.Īny suggestions on how to work around the Reminders limitation? I don’t want to use two different task managers, e.g., one for the SP and other complex projects and Reminders for the others. My problem is that when I export the SP from MindNode to Reminders, or manually replicate it Reminders, I hit the limit of two levels of sub-task nesting, see second screenshot. It has multiple levels of tasks and nested subtasks, see screenshot below. Nevertheless, I have a large project (developing a five-year strategic plan). Staying with this workflow saves money and complication. I’d like to find away around, over or under the wall as I’m loath to change my default minimalist workflow using as many default and non-subscription apps as feasible. There are, of course, some frustrations and friction points but that is true of nearly app and workflow I’ve tried. I’m constantly linking them with each other and with email messages. Apple Reminders and Notes are my two most used apps.
