Alright, I think this is the video I've been drifting towards for a few weeks now on [A Better Computer](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGYdWR8QUYn88lG0PBeJQ%5Fg/?ref=birchtree.me). After doing videos on:

- [The Morning Project](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3OHTNX02SI&ref=birchtree.me) and how I start my day right
- [Automating tasks with Shortcuts](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECWl4vgE1GI&ref=birchtree.me)
- [Why Quick Entry on the Mac is so great](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBp8Z%5FkSiEg&ref=birchtree.me)
- [How to track gift ideas all year long](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnHxi5olGbk&ref=birchtree.me)

I finally said, "to hell with it!" and made a video that explains why Things is the app I prefer for task management. I hope you enjoy it!
