Like many Web workers and folks who spend a lot of time online, I often use my Inbox as my master To-Do list. However, I am clear that with over 400 incoming messages a day, this process is not sustainable and I've needed to find a better task management solution.

Over the last few days I've been playing with Cultured Code's Things.app for the Mac OS, and I don't know if I'm just high-in-love with this new application, or if this honeymoon stage will end soon. Still, I thought I'd post my first impressions and share my excitement with Things.app.

Now, I'm not a huge GTD advocate (the framework Things is built around), although it doesn't seem to matter. What I've needed is a way to quickly add new tasks, prioritize them, add tags and notes and sort them by my contexts, such as work, home, wedding, family, etc.

While Things has limited complexity, it still seems to be a powerful approach to task management and a perfect fit for how I organize my day.

As I dive a bit deeper with Things, I'll update the blog with some additional thoughts after a few more weeks of regular usage.
