You can use it as a very simple task manager. What puts Pagico into a different league is its overviews, and its flexibility. I’ve invested in all the major players: Todoist, Things, 2Do, OmniFocus, Wunderlist and a host of others. I’ve been using Pagico for the last few months, and frankly, the decision has caused my CRIMPing to diminish considerably (at least as far as task management apps are concerned), Instead, I have one two apps for to-dos (one is Anylist, designed specifically for food shopping), Google Calendar, and duplicated alarms in Due. If Google Calendar (or one of the 3rd party iOS apps) had this functionality I’d be in hog heaven. So for important or obscure items on my calendar I use Due app on my iPhone, which has a choice of alarms that include loud ones I won’t miss, and they’re repeatable every X minutes. They’re one-time pop-ups on the phone or discreet beeps I don’t hear if my phone is in my pocket (especially if my headphones are plugged in but not in my ears). I’ll often have odd-hour meetings, or set up something for a time I usually don’t check my phone or calendar, and my alerts don’t alert me. My main disappointment is the anemic nature of reminders in calendars and to-do apps. Yes, for me calendar events are things I’ve decided to do at specific times, period. If not a strict time, then at least the option to put in a proposed time. It’s a calendar with my scheduled tasks, and it shows events from Apple Calendar.īut I agree. Where the lines blur is where the Forecast tab in OmniFocus helps out. Find Fred and hand off a microfilmed communiqué, that’s a task and it can have a deadline. Meet with Fred at 2:30 on Wednesday, that’s an appointment in my calendar. If something is under my control, particularly if it’s something I can complete early, it’s a task. Alarms go off to interrupt me, I respond. Or, if I have a specific thing at a specific time, that’s a calendar event. Mostly, if someone else throws a dart at my schedule, pinning me to a time and place not of my choosing, it goes in my calendar. I have a slightly different view of events and tasks. The misguided distinction between events and tasks
