GTDNext vs ToDoList

All the “Get Things Done” lists you would expect: next actions, someday, waiting, and scheduled.

When it comes to choosing your next action, most to-do apps suffer from the same problem: All of your actions (sometimes hundreds in total) are visible to choose from. This can overwhelm users and cause them to give up on the system. GTDNext is different. In the "Next Action" view, only the very next action is shown for each of your projects. This results in a nicely consolidated view of only the things that need your immediate attention.

In GTDNext you can set up an unlimited number of levels for your projects and actions, allowing you to plan your project and sub-projects in as much detail as needed.

GTDNext supports the “Areas of Focus” methodology from Getting Things Done. You can filter all of your tasks to just show your work tasks, side project tasks, or personal tasks. There is also a global filter, so that when you’re hard at work you can focus only on your work projects and tasks.

This is really useful because it prevents you from having to navigate through each project individually.

The number of keyboard shortcuts makes it easy to log or add tasks without removing your hands from the keys.

Cost, percent done, priority, you name it - you have it. If you prefer simple layout - no problem. You can configure everything.
