kGTD not GTD well enough

kGTD is pissing me off. :)

Generally speaking, it has done a serviceable job during my recent experiments, even if it has (understandably) slowed down as dozens of projects and scores of actions are added.

But where it’s beginning to fail is on the recurring actions. There’s some sort of screwy thing going on during syncing where random recurring items are either “completed” out of repetition (and thus existence) or are kept moving to the next day.

This is not acceptable for a system that is supposed to be trusted; unfortunately, since kGTD is apparently not going to be updated with the still-unscheduled appearance of OmniFocus, I am forced to look at other options.

I think I have three or so choices (which isn’t to say there aren’t others), not counting sticking with kGTD for now. None of them is ideal; all of them will be supplemented (and thus improved) by using Quicksilver as the main entry method.

1. Anticipating Leopard’s coming improvements, trying an iCal-only system even though its current slowness is a big drawback.
2. Cobbling together something with Remind, as I’m well-familiar with its syntax and could get back up to speed pretty quickly.
3. Switching over to the quickly evolving iGTD.
4. Some combination thereof, e.g. using Rem2ics and iCal to Remind.

More later. It’s time to get my muffins prepped for baking. :)
