I review all of my lists every day, because it is so easy. I don't have to worry about things not appearing because I don't have the view setup properly. I can quickly swipe through my 9 lists and see everything. In contrast, Reminders just shows all of your tasks all the time. The Project view, Context view etc all show or hide tasks in different ways. It is really easy to hide tasks inadvertently because you are not looking in the right type of view. It is a really complex app that I think gets in the way of actually getting things done. There are nested folders, perspectives, etc. There are different filters, Next Actions, Available, Remaining. For every task you have to set two fields, the Project and the Context. After a couple of weeks of using this as my GTD system, I now realize how much friction is built into the Omnifocus apps. I created 9, Projects, Calls, Home, Office, etc. The key feature is that you can create different lists. I then decided to give the Apple Reminders app a more serious try to see if it can be my trusted system. I recently re-read the GTD book and Allen talks about having simple lists, a list of projects, a list of Errands etc. I played around with it, but still stuck to my investment in Omnifocus. I was intrigued when Apple came out with Reminders on iOS in 2011, especially the location based reminders. Even though I was really good at using it, I always felt a certain unease with the complexity. The learning curve was steep, but I became a master. For years I have used the Omnifocus apps on my Mac and iPhone.
