  • Ctrl-Space

    • Open Quick Entry
  • Ctrl-Opt-Space

    • Open Quick Entry with selection
  • You can drag tasks from Things onto Fantastical for when you want to plan your day and see certain tasks on your calendar

  • The calendar is for something with a specific start time and a specific end time. It’s for “events”. Think appointments, almost always involving other people.

  • The absolute best feature of Things IMO is being able to set a deadline and being able to set a plan date. Deadline means consequences. Plan date means, “This is when I would like to do something.”

  • Remember the Quick entry with autofill will prepopulate the current item like the email or file you are currently viewing with a link to that item

  • You can can also copy and paste a plain text list into Things to create new to-dos (one to-do per line of of text). On the Mac, just copy a list of text and paste it into Things via ⌘ Cmd + V. On your iPad or iPhone, use the menu [downarrowthing] in any list to paste copied text from the clipboard.
