[NTLK] GTD and Omnifocus vs. Newton

Hi:

I caught a video introducing Omnifocus today, the latest, updated release. The program looks laudable. It conforms to the concepts inherent in GTD - Getting Things Done.

Capture
Organize
Do

With:

Actions
Projects
Contexts

The Newton also conforms to concepts revolving around GTD. The thing I like about the Newton is it is a more focused device than a computer running Omnifocus: inputing To Dos on my computer is overkill, and I am constantly distracted when I am on it. Sitting down on my Newton and jotting down To Dos is much easier and more focused... which is why I am not giving up my Newton for Omnifocus. Additionally, consulting Omnifocus is too much like work, like using Email, whereas using the Newton is a friendly break from the daily grind on the computer.

All the best,

Ryan
