I write down tasks that I’d like to accomplish that day and schedule them in chunks of time.

I use a notebook called the Emergent Task Planner to structure my day. That being said, what I’d really like is some content system that lets me organize by a topic and by date, and VoodooPad only does by topic, but it’s the closest I’ve been able to find.

This means I can paste in images that are rendered inline, and I can render code and terminal output in fixed-width font, and my notes in variable-width font. I like how it’s free-form, and not just plain text. It mainly has two uses: context for each project I’m working on (e.g., pastes of recent error messages), and reference pages for things like urls and commonly used code snippets or commands that I often forget. In particular, I have an on-hold “Someday” task which acts as a catch-all for things I don’t want to forget but that I don’t plan on doing in the near term.

I can put projects “on hold” and they don’t show up in current context.

Per-project support for “serial tasks” (only one next action) and “parallel tasks” (multiple next actions).

Integrates with reminders on iOS, which means I can say to my watch “Remind me to do X” and “do X” ends up in my OmniFocus inbox.

Easy to add to the inbox in the iOS app.

Easy to add to the inbox via keyboard shortcut in OS X.

Of the various GTD-supporting tools I’ve found, I like OmniFocus the best. I’ve been a fan of Gettings Things Done for a long time. My toolset has been pretty stable for several months now. I also tend to futz around with multiple tools, trying to find the perfect match for my workflow. Productivity tools have always held a special fascination for me.
