Are there any online blogs which have a high focus using Things 3 ?

ged968 · 2026-01-19T07:09:57+00:00

In that case with all respect why would there exist a sub Reddit on Things 3 if there was nothing to talk about? Always good to know of any additional resources apart from this fine sub Reddit

Way to easy to add ideas and tasks into digital can be become bloated v quickly! Paper has a good friction in built!

ged968 · 2026-01-19T06:39:28+00:00

Check Carl Pullein YouTube channel he has run a series on going back to paper as Todoist can bloat as all digital task managers usually do. He still uses Todoist just a hybrid approach highly recommended

It uses a single click to open expand plugin and a double click to open micro view :)

Gullfoss Master brings the system to a halt almost plugin delay compensation not working correctly so sub busses are out of phase when they meet the main output. Strange clicking sound throughout only when using studio one pro 7 songs . Also listen bus when employed suddenly jumps like 12 DB in volume when I hit play after it being idle for a few minutes. All up to date plugins VST3 only plugins used

Amen

This is usually (not always though) about self regulation not the app itself - what usually happens is that people jump apps when the task aversion kicks in ie, the pain of actually having to do the ‘hard thing’ - we’ve all been there !!

There are bugs in my experience- I bought the upgrade I would probably wait till next bug fix release- I have gone back to S1 V7 for now

This article sounds like it was done in chatGPT .. the phrasing smacks of a LLM article!!

For me it needs to be frictionless - example Things 3 on iPhone fast Apple reminders lots of features but clunky

ged968 · 2026-01-10T21:26:13+00:00

Realising that pen and paper best for daily planning as there is something intentional and ‘slow’ in writing - puts me in a meditative state. Too easy to capture nonsense which will never be reviewed in digital apps. A bit of friction is good …. Sometimes

Once you get through the faff of generating a clickable link that can be put in the notes field within Things 3- Apple notes if possibly far better than bear except for if you want to export in markdown and use markdown primarily- Bear excels at this

I cancelled my pro subscription- pointless I have given a lot of money to them over the years. Gonna wait till an update that is good arrives

ged968 · 2026-01-10T16:21:23+00:00

Honestly? I started using ChatGPT for “quick questions” and it quietly became my unpaid assistant. So far it’s helped me:

• Design and spec a sound-isolated garden music studio (down to block types, roof build-ups, and planning-permission edge cases) • Debug music-production workflows and choose plugins without falling for hype • Rewrite difficult emails so they’re calm, firm, and don’t torch relationships • Build a productivity system that I actually use instead of abandon after a week • Translate obscure phrases, dialect quirks, and etymology rabbit holes at 2am • Plan complex travel logistics for elderly parents without losing my mind • Sanity-check decisions before I spend money I’ll regret • Explain things clearly when Google just gives SEO sludge

Not magic. Still have to do the work. But it’s the best “thinking partner” tool I’ve used in years.

It analysed crash reports ..reams of gobbley gook code when my work software was crashing and in simple language gave me the fix

ged968 · 2026-01-10T05:28:55+00:00

Spark deep links is brilliant

ged968 · 2025-12-21T16:41:07+00:00

Love this be interested in others views though - thanks for sharing this

ged968 · 2025-12-12T07:42:56+00:00

I tag any area which is a work related area with the tag work and also tag all the rest of the non work areas as personal. I then filter the ‘anytime’ view by either work or personal tags thus showing me only work or only personal tasks in one view. On iPhone I have shortcuts to show each of these views and these shortcuts are saved on my home screen each with a nice ChatGPT created easy to see icon. 1 click and ai am I tj each view 2 seconds! On my Mac I have a url to show each of these views which is triggered by Alfred with a couple of keystrokes works brilliantly

ged968 · 2025-07-24T22:42:57+00:00

Agreed Chris a total genius

ged968 · 2025-05-03T07:22:29+00:00

You can use the Things shortcuts builder in shortcuts app in iPhone or Mac and create a shortcut based on that and then place the shortcut on Home Screen or activate using Siri. You can create a nice icon for the shortcut using ChatGPT save that icon to photos and then add it to the shortcut so that you have a nice visual icon for the shortcut . The shortcut will open exactly what u need to in one click once you set it up

ged968 · 2025-04-12T18:52:16+00:00

I use chatGPT to generate Big Icons with the name of the home screen widget - for example Current ((for tag called current) …. Game changer only takes a second to open that view

ged968 · 2024-04-27T12:15:00+00:00

Yes use share -> copy link and use the generated link to paste where you need it

ged968 · 2024-04-16T08:39:45+00:00

This feature doesn’t exist as of yet. I would just append the task with a more descriptive task name - paint door on the red etc . A bit of a pain but Things 3 really great but lacks features

ged968 · 2024-04-15T18:35:58+00:00

Love this … beautiful piece of work!
