I watched this a few weeks ago when Obie posted it to his blog. A few days later I went out and bought Things. I'm not using it now -- I'm using plain text files so I can more easily use hierarchical todo lists, but it changed how I think about using todo lists. I've started attaching dates to my todo items that I can grep out. I'm thinking about writing a little command line utility to help with this (that, unlike other command-line utilities, only reads todo items and doesn't write to them).

I think some people use rspec as a more finely-grained todo list. Do you use it like this? How often do you have pending specs? I think I remember hearing about someone in HashRocket leaving a failing spec at the end of the day to give them something specific to do to get back into the flow the next day. I'd like to hear more about how TDD/BDD as a productivity tool.

I enjoyed this and I hope to see more videos and blog posts on the subject of getting things done from people at HashRocket.
