See that big pile of stickies and cocktail napkins on your desk. Yeah, you need to get that sorted out. Sure you could separate them into different piles. The pile you can read and the pile with undecipherable gibberish. Instead of trying to figure out if your supposed to pay the phone bill or take Bill to Phoenix, why not let Things task management software help you sort out your busy life.

Lucky for you, and your crazy pile of stuff, we're giving away a copy of Things from Cultured Code. All you have to do is post a comment in this article to win your very own copy of Things. That's it! The comment can be as long or as short as you like – one word will do!

Our Mac|Life super comment choosing machine will choose a random comment and award one lucky person Things, with a retail value of $49.95. The odds of winning are determined by the number of eligible entries received. The prize is nontransferable and must be accepted as awarded.

Submitted by pwilly on Fri, 2009-07-24 16:39

Walk around the room with a glaze in your stare.
In your tuxedo suit.
I will give it a name.
Lower your defenses.
Lower your casket.
Open the door and open your grave.
Murder.
Now you're doing the waltz with your murderer.
Mediocrity is the killer.
You find yourself helpless.
Christ is not a fashion, fleeting away.
He laid emeralds in her eyes,
But Id already tied a bracelet made of gold
And a scarlet thread around her wrist.
Everything was wrong so we sang sentimental songs.
Oh how seldom we belong but how elegant our kiss.
We painted crooked lines
But danced in perfect time to a love so much refined,
We know not what it is until like a dullen wine we pour into a grief know before
But never quite like this.
All I know now is regret,
It follows like a silhouette along the cobblestone behind us,
But has nothing to say except to innocently ask,
Its voice delicate as glass,
Do you see me when we pass?
But I continue on my way.

I've been searching for a solution to manage actions etc. Things is very close but I had troubles with some of the GTD-specific constraints. I'll take a look at this latest version.
