Check list part II
Check List Pro didn't last long.
What annoyed me enough to try another program, was the fact that you can't hide tasks that has been done. I don't know why, but they seem to think that it's vital to see all items at once. Especially when you can't sort other ways then alphabetically. Wierd.
Besides, I couldn't have several lists open at once, and when I closed a list on the PDA, the app closed too. I then had to start it again, choose a list, and then look at it. I missed a generel overview or something.
What I'm trying out now, is something called ListPro by Ilium software. It too has a desktop and a PDA version (buth Windows Mobile and Palm), and "synchronizes" the same way as Check List Pro. So far, I haven't worked with it long, but it does have a few plusses already; it can hide done items(!), it has categories, I can choose which columns i would like to have for a list, and I can have several lists open at the same time. They can't be displayed at the same time, but there is a left side list with the lists I have in that file. That also enables me to keep a file with work related lists, and a file with personal lists. I know it's not the true GTD way, but I get a bit confused having my private projects merged into my work projects, and I don't want to do (too much) private stuff when I should be working ;)
Hopefully this app serves my purposes, because it's a bit of a pain to keep copying my lists from one app to another :) the only thing is, that it'll cost me $30 instead of just $16....
