It was getting very difficult to keep up with everything I had to keep track of on a daily and weekly basis. I was taking on more responsibilities and getting involved with more complex projects. Seven years ago I was not quite ten years into my engineering career. You can only afford to spend time doing this once your work and family commitments are met, and sometimes that is easier said than done. Being a geek is all about being able to spend time вЂњgeeking outвЂќ over things that we truly enjoy. After all, you arenвЂ™t visiting GeekDad to brush up on your task management skills you are here because you share our passion for all things geeky. Instead of focusing on the contents of the book itself for this review, I am going to talk about what the GTD system has done for me and what it could potentially do for you. If you are a geeky parent like me and want to have more time to do the things you enjoyвЂ“and be able to enjoy them even more because you know you arenвЂ™t dropping the ball somewhere elseвЂ“then this book is for you. Before you dismiss this book (and this article) as boring hear this: GTD changed my life about seven years ago when I read David AllenвЂ™s book and implemented his system. Getting Things Done (also known as the GTD system) is a task management methodology. I donвЂ™t think anybody gets it 100% right first time, but as I have learnt and tweaked what IвЂ™ve been doing in OmniFocus it has been come a tool that I use every single day.Image used with permission from David Allen Company IвЂ™ll admit there is a steep learning curve, some of that learning is around the GTD method. I think itвЂ™s because I need a heavy weight task manager, something that I can organise all the different things going on in home and work lives. There is always much talk of Omnifocus, IвЂ™m one of those people who love it. It feels more at home on Yosemite and it feels like there are some performance improvements under the hood. In general the product has been polished and improved. The Help system has a new look and is improved over the old version. Something that might be use to everybody, but is useful if you have standard projects or tasks that your want import from OmniOutliner, then there is enhanced import, that allows mapping from columns to Omnifocus fields. You can share your tasks from Omnifocus to your applications that work with Yosemite sharing. Sharing from OmniFocus is now available from the toolbar. Whereas today gets similar attention as the OmniFocus in the iOS version. Adding Safari pages to Omnifocus gets a great animation where the page shrinks down to a sharing pane. Share looks like most other application that have updated for Yosemite. Adding functionality in both Today and Share.

The extensions are the main update for me.

There is a spruce up of the interface looking more вЂњYosemiteвЂќ. The update brings OmniFocus right up to date for Yosemite, bringing new sharing and notification. OmniFocus was the tipping point, the killer app that lead me to break with running on a Microsoft OS after 15 years.

But all of those things would have been possible on a windows machine. Sure there are lots of other things that I do with my Mac, like photo and video editing. The first major update of my favourite productivity app has landedвЂ¦
