Here’s a very simple trick that’s been serving me well this week. I made a “Postable” smart folder in The Hit List as pictured above. Now, whenever I get an idea, email or inspirational link that could become a post, I add it to The Hit List with the Quick Key Entry shortcut, tag it with “/postable” and it’s ready and waiting the next time I lauch WordPress.

Shawn Blanc applies his exhausitve reivew technique to Things for the Mac and the iPhone. I’m almost ashamed to say that I still haven’t decided between Things and The Hit List. Perhaps Shawn will convince me.

I’m having a hard time deciding between Things and The Hit List. Both offer a very pleasant GTD experience on the Mac.

Things 1.0 is available (as well as the companion iPhone/iPod touch app [link]) for $50US. The Hit List is in beta and the pre-release price is also $50. I love both, honestly.

Shawn Blanc has written high praise for Things. I agree with this assessment, but I’d hate to plunk down my fifty bucks only to kick myself in four weeks. What’s a geek to do?

Update: Here’s a nice interview with Jürgen Schweizer of Cultured Code.
