The grey circles around the bullet points mean there are entries under each one. (Remember, this is my first week with it.) “Work” and “Personal” are the top-level categories the tutorial suggests at the outset, and they seemed a good fit for me. Those are the five top-level categories I created, for now. I’ll crop the rest of my pictures so you can see the list up close. This image shows you my whole Workflowy tab because I wanted to show how uncluttered the interface is. Here’s my basic list, collapsed so you only see the main topic categories.
(There are a few other theme options, but none of them appeal to me.) You indent your bullets with the tab key, creating as many tiers as you like. Just a simple list of bullet points in outline form, black text on a white screen. It’s a streamlined, basic listmaking platform-and it’s marvelous. But that’s a topic for another post.Īnyway, I read about WorkFlowy and had to check it out for myself. Slack has become my platform of choice for IM conversation with Scott and one or two other close friends I chat with often during the day. (Boy, the geek level in that sentence is off the charts.) Stewart shall forever be known to us former and devoted Glitch players as Stoot Barfield. WorkFlowy caught my attention when I read that Stewart Butterfield’s team used it while building Slack. I still stash a lot of stuff in Evernote, but somewhere along the line I fell away from using RtM. For a long while, I was using a combo of Evernote and Remember the Milk (a to-do list app, quite a good one), as described in Mystie Winckler’s Paperless Home Organization. I need paper notebooks for a dumping ground, but the computer helps me stay streamlined and focused. So why do I use an online task list too? Isn’t that overkill? Not really, not the way I work. I refer back to old notebooks frequently and now I can find the thing I’m looking for with relative ease. That simple step made instant coherence out of my mishmash of notes. Especially since I started putting an index on the first page, a la the bullet-journaling method. I love my kraft-brown Moleskine Cahier grid journals for daily notes and bullet lists (and a whole lot of doodling), and I don’t see myself ever giving up paper altogether. I’ve mentioned before that I move back and forth between listkeeping and planning on paper and on the computer, sometimes tilted more one way than the other. I’ve been test-driving a task management app called WorkFlowy this week. This is one of those posts that will likely only appeal to a few of you, but I thought it might be useful info for some.
