Task & Project Management Mastery Using Things 3

What’s your favorite productivity tip?

Have you tried sorted 3?

This is a great app for individuals, but not for project management with teams. Honestly, Apple Reminders can accomplish everything in Things 3. It is integrated with the whole ecosystem and does not cost $39.

How did you get tv and movies etc under research and tracking, did u make those headers

Thanks so much for this video! It was so helpful!

Ghost of Tsunami. Never heard of that game.

60€ por esta app me parece abusivo la verdad, por muy bien que funcione. Ademas todas las personas que quieran colaborar también la tiene que tener...

How do you add separator lines between areas/projects?! (I just realized that the Mac app doesn't have them but the iPhone app does.

Thanks Christopher, really enjoyed your video and learnt a couple new points (things, no pun intended). What struck me most, your fluidity of sharing, not a typical "buy my course stacked video with bits to rope you in)

Hey Christopher, first of all: let me express my gratitutde to you: I am learning a lot from your video. I used the iPad as a "toy" (mostly to consume media) but since I bought the Air with M1 chip I am using it more and more to manage my stuff.. now.. I am develpoing this "things 3" taste but also this "fantastical 3 taste"... but there is ONE BIG ISSUE that is preventing me to move forward: they don't talk to eachother.. I saw that ToDoist can be integrated with Fantastical, not so much THings.. since you use both, may I ask how do you use them? Please note that to me the calendar app (any one) is needed to set my activities (any one of them) in a time frame and with a time allowance while the todo list is a detailed view of the tasks that compoeses any given activity (in some case an activity and a task can be the same but it is rarely the case). thanks a lot, keep up the amazing work you are doing

I was watching iOS Today and your description of Things 3 got my attention. I bought it after watching this and getting an idea of how it would help me.

How did you create those dividing lines? Assume they are just areas with a line in them, but how did you get a line like that?

How did you get Areas in Today view? The ability is greyed out for me when I try.

How do i set up the new task shortcut?

Great vid but paper like wares your pencil and itself

I just subscribed. Thank you so much I just got things3 and haven’t been able to figure out how to make headings

Great job on the video - thanks

Hey Chris! Thank you for the video. I am curious to know - Are you still using Things 3 in 2022?

Where do you have your recurring tasks, in the personal area? Tasks that repeat every month or year, etc....

I’m a Things user, love it. But what do you think of Sorted. It allows you add calendar events as tasks into the timeline. Seems like a neat feature for headless chickens like me :)

I don't quite see it way above the free Notes app on Mac and iPhone. I use it as my only note and productivity app.

I'm constantly torn between Things 3 and Todoist. Things looks way better and feels like it was designed by Apple. But Todoist has so many good features, specifically natural language input in the main input fields and the ability to add attachments. From they are the most compelling reasons to use Todoist.

I’m not sure if you sent through this but are you able to make sub areas where you can put projects/tasks in that sub area? For example I have a school area and I want to put a math “sub-area” then I could put projects or upcoming assignments in?

Beautifu lreview of Things 3 :) Hope you can do a comparison or review of Taskade in the future, and we just released our iPad update !

Have you tried Sorted?

Thank you. This was a very helpful video. I employed most of the tips as you went along in the video. I'll definitely be keeping most of these tips.

QUESTION: Have parallel projects going on with a team of people who report up to me. If I download Things 3 can I assign tasks to people with due dates ?

Thank you so much I am so happy to have seen this! I have been going back and forth between getting things 3 on my mac, I love using it for my phone and apple watch so far and wasn't sure if it was worth it to buy the $69 Mac OS version. I have been trying to use notion but like you I like the idea of it being able to be completed and then removed books, movies, games, shows, restaurants or travel locations. I was trying to use notion just for this but I found I don't go into notion often enough to use it as a task manager since I can't use it on my watch as quickly and it doesn't sync very well with my calendar app.

The new task shortcut doesn’t seem to work when searching “new task” in spotlight. When you enter the task, it shows up on the blurred out spotlight search bar (under the shortcut window).

I’m new here but I love your channel!

Is the app able to see my content?
In the privacy policy, they say they collect a record of communication.
Could you explain that to me.
appreciate your help
Greetings!

Can we add images in our lists that are visible and not just the link?

How are you using tags, I can see tags in the video but would be interested to know how you use those?

Except managing your fitness. Amiright?

this video is the snack my OCD was looking for today lol

Get a piece of paper, write down what you need to do, then put it in order of priority, and do it. Spend that $10 on some good food

I keep the books / movies / etc in Notion so I can track other metadata, like genre, number of pages, why I want to watch/read this, etc - so if I want to watch something, I can pick, short comedy, or science fiction long book, etc - I find it much better than polluting my task manager, but everyone is different.

This app is waste of money ..for me….b

This seems like the reminders app but with a much better UI.

Very useful! Thanks!

Hey! Just downloaded the Things shortcut to add a new list of things quickly & love it! One question: do you know if there is a way to have that shortcut perform the same but then ask what Area to add them to?

Awesome video 👍🏽

I just saw “update money tracker” on a list. Would love to know which one you use!

Liked and subscribed, thanks for this great video

what do you think about Minimalist vs Things 3? Also, if I buy Things 3 do you think Things 4 (when its released) will be an additional purchase to upgrade? kinda broke rn.

Can you use things 3 shared with others and across other devices?

Comment 2 - I’ve used your ‘New Task’ shortcut and got that on my home screen. Superb stuff Chris! Thanks for all this 🙂👍🏻

Having tried Things 3 before and refunding, this time is different…….. after watching a few of your video’s here, I decided to give it another go. On my iPad Pro and with iPadOS 15, it’s a different app for me now. Alongside Fantastical this could be a bit of a change for my routine. Thanks for all the video’s and the shortcuts I need to get used to. 🙏🏻😃👍🏻
