I'm using the Mac software (3) Efficiency chapter

Distance on the blog unexpectedly flash 2 months passed ... Recently really too busy, but a busy in fact, it is easy to mess, but accumulated less.

Today I'm going to go ahead and introduce the Mac software I'm using. Title for the efficiency of the article, in fact, there is no strict qualification, is a messy introduction I use the feeling can improve the efficiency of the tool software.

Gtd

There's too much GTD under the Mac, like very powerful ommnifocus, and very concise clear.

After experimenting with a variety of things (this is definitely not an efficient thing ...). I now use things and clear.

Things is a good carrier of the standard GTD concept. Record the tasks you want to complete in inbox, and then sort them into different project or different cycle segments. On the specific use of the way I do not say more, we can go to search, GTD or things related to the introduction is still very much. I use things mainly to remember some long tasks. I'm going to put some things I'm going to do in next, and put something less urgent and wanted to do in someday (also used to record inspiration). Secheduled is used to record cyclical things, such as reading a pocket article together at a fixed time each day. Project is a category of projects, such as work items, such as reading plans. Things regret is that there is no reminder function, mobile phone terminal is only iOS. Can consider the use of free doit.im, function and things basically consistent, but also make up for the above deficiencies.

And clear is a very lightweight task list. I will use it to record more specific tasks. For example, to implement a feature today, when you start programming, there will be a sequence of things to do. This way of thinking will not be messy, and after the plan is ready to start programming immediately. In principle, the task of clear is to empty every day. Again, clear does not support Android.

In my use of the process, the two can be very good complementary, occasionally cross, but the overall feeling is very good.

Alfred

Almost everyone will say is the artifact of the software. Alfred reinforces the spotlight, not only to quickly search local files, but also to search for content on a variety of networks, as well as complete keyboard operations. Real fast start-up at the same time, but also support the customization of a variety of plug-ins to make it extremely powerful. Can be used to find files, directly open files or applications, you can direct Google search, you can query a variety of dictionaries, you can view the history of the Clipboard ... As shown in the picture is a watercress plug-in directly to the Watercress search film.

There is no specific introduction to Alfred's function, which can be written in a separate blog. Alfred's use of the method is also very simple, no tutorial, a little groping on it.

This article lists a number of practical plug-ins, you can get what you want. In fact, from these plug-ins look, you can feel Alfred's strong.
