Another great interview from Tim in the latest episode from his iPad Pros podcast. As you might remember, he talked to our very own @drewmccormack back in episode 48. This time he interviewed Agenda user @Pat_Maddox, a software developer who uses Agenda to manage all of his work and personal projects. They dive into all things Agenda, not only how he uses the app, but also about the workflows and thought processes he uses to keep track of his projects and tasks. A super interesting journey worth listening to!

Speaking about great podcasts, Agenda was also recently featured in the NestedFolders podcast where Rosemary Orchard and Agenda user Scotty Jackson (@heyscottyj) discuss how some use a productivity system like Agenda while others are not, and how you collaborate with others whose systems are different or non-existing. A great listen as well!

Many thanks for the double heads-up. Already downloaded and will listen to both. Wonder how @Pat_Maddox will now adjust his use of Agenda for project management with the brand-new sub-categories (beta 9.0) and what is Rosemary’s take on Agenda, as she’s more of an automation user.
Please do keep us posted on more podcast episodes where Agenda is discussed.

Thanks for the shoutout, Alexander! That episode was really fun to do (well, they all are, really), but was a great platform to talk about how we organize ourselves to work well with others.
Cheers,
ScottyJ

I am inspired by this - I have been looking for a system that allows me to go from goals to OKR to monthly objectives relatively seamlessly, and the goal(date) tag seems to be a perfect fit - will keep you posted on how that works.

Glad you found it useful 
So a quick update on the goal-planning approach I talked about in the episode…
I no longer use goal notes with date ranges. I found they just cluttered my view for that purpose – I don’t need to see that the goal applies to “today” all the time. I tag them with #goal(current) and use a saved search to get an overview of my current goals.
I also no longer use the date-based tag for these sorts of notes. Instead, I create a goal note and assign it to the day that I want to complete it. Any key milestones also get their own notes with assigned dates, and are tagged. So a search for #goal(current) will give me a list of all my current goals and the key milestones, with the milestones ordered by date leading up to the goal.
