Start Getting Things Done with GTDNext

Sometimes I wonder if humans have always had problems with procrastination or if it's a unique affliction of our age brought on by information overload.  

Don't worry, there's still hope for us because we have many tools and techniques for time management and productivity at our disposal. A few years ago I became seriously interested in productivity methods. Since then I've tried and even reviewed many to-do apps and solutions. While trying to overcome procrastination, I've probably read every piece of motivation advice on the planet, including the variations and "hacks" of the most popular ones.

And after all that, I'm still equally excited whenever I hear about a new productivity method or app. What kind of approach does it propose? What does it look like? Does it have something that others don't?

Today I want to show you a new (version 1.0 was just released a month ago!) time management and to-do organization app called GTDNext. If you're looking for a logical and simple way to tackle your projects and tasks, GTDNext can help you.

The two apps – HabitRPG and Level Up Life – which combine gamification with productivity methods to challenge and motivate you in a refreshing and original way.

TaskPaper To-Do List iPhone Application Review

It is shocking how few truly simple task management apps there are out there. Most to-do list programs are overly complex and work on an advanced productivity plan that is ironically more time consuming than what it would save. For a long time I have just been using my phone's memos to make lists, because I am so unimpressed with what is out there.

But then I found this little gem, originally released a couple of years ago and updated recently. It is nothing but the checklist you have been hoping for.
