I’m currently working for the University of Alabama at Birmingham as a Digital Media Specialist and a lot of my day is spent working on different devices, whether it’s my iPad, iPhone, or Mac, depending on if i’m in my office or in the media lab I manage, helping students with various media projects. It’s a great place to store and refer back to anything. It’s OCR capabilities and overall flexibility makes it a great part of my paperless workflow. I’m currently using an Asana for my work tasks and Omnifocus for my personal tasks.Īfter getting into the 5by5 network, namely the wonderful Back to Work podcast, and hearing about Merlin Mann’s text file-based workflow, I decided to give it a try.Įvernote has become more of a digital file cabinet for me. I used to be an avid Evernote user, with my most recent jaunt being using Evernote as a GTD system (which I’m still failing at). I’ll get into a few of my favorite features of Write as I continue, but just know that using Write App or nvALT by itself will change your game, but using both for Mac-based and iOS writing, and you’ve got a stew goin’! It’s the mobile center of this workflow, and it’s feature suite is incredibly thorough and complete. Write App/Write for Dropbox: Write App is fairly new to the game, but is so awesome.It’s got a great, simple interface that flows smoothly, is Markdown compatible (more on this later) and just has a whole host of great features. nvALT: A fork of Notational Velocity and developed by the great Brett Terpstra, nvALT is a simple writing solution for the Mac.It’s a great solution for file syncing and sharing across all your devices. Dropbox: Dropbox needs no introduction or description.
