For example, if you’re using Flow as your task manager of choice and Evernote to store notes for those tasks and projects, then it’s a good idea to use similarly-named identifiers across both. (If you’re using OmniFocus, which uses contexts instead of tags, then you can apply those contexts as tags in the other apps you’re using.)

The task manager is the leader – and it should be. It informs the other parts first, then they inform it when needed – and in a way that helps the task manager move in the right direction on a consistent basis. The other aspect of the task manager that makes it the leader is that it is capable of doing the most on its own.

I used paper to start my day and ended my day checking off everything on my digital task management app. That paper version allowed me to start my day off on paper, keep tabs on it with paper, and then go in as the dya came to an end and tie up all of my digital loose ends in my task manager and so on.

During my trip to the Yukon it became apparent to me that I needed to have a task management app that I could use whether connected or not.

As many of you may know, I’m not a fan of using your e-mail app to manage your tasks. TextExpander works just fine with Postbox and so do popular Mac task management apps Things and OmniFocus. But Postbox can do that if you need. You can “tag” to-dos within Postbox by simply selecting a message and pressing the “S” key.
