This year I decided to offer holiday shoppers a bit more time to explore possible gift ideas for the productivity enthusiast — aka the "productivityist" — in their lives.

These apps make using my iPhone more efficient and, when set up properly, effective. I''ve stopped using Launch Center Pro for most forms of capturing information, and as such don''t really use it to launch any notetaking or writing apps like Evernote or Byword. That''s where Drafts comes in.

That''s why they''ll spend money on something like OmniFocus or Things and abandon them because they seem to complicated or they''ll sign up for something like Asana or Evernote thinking that it can handle task management in a manner that is easy to set up and make happen (spoiler alert: it isn''t that easy).
