When you first launch nvALT, it looks like this: The nvALT launch screen These 3 key features make nvALT a very adaptable part of ANY workflow. There are 3 very important things that nvALT is very good at:

You can get it for free from his website. NvALT is a lightweight program for capturing created by Brett Terpstra. As my day got increasingly more busy and hectic, my threshold for decision-making kept getting lower and more and more I found things slipping through the cracks. I realized that if I wasn’t 100% sure where I should put something, I ended up not putting it anywhere. When the phone is ringing and clients are clamoring for your attention, it’s easy to just not do anything with that information if you can’t make that split-second decision about where it should go. What I discovered though is that while the actual process of taking my information and putting into OmniFocus or Evernote or other appropriate application doesn’t take more than a few seconds, making the initial decisions about where things should go required significantly more effort. For awhile, I thought that since I was already at my computer I didn’t need to to have a quick capture inbox since every place I may decide to put this information is already accessible from my Mac. You can watch the screencast which has step-by-step instruction on how to set up nvALT or you can read along with the text underneath the screencast.įor a long time, not knowing where to quick capture on my Mac was a big hole in my productivity system because I’m on my Mac almost all day, every day.
In this post, I want to show you how to quick capture on your Mac using a great little program called “nvALT”. Last week, I introduced you to the importance of capture and how it relates specifically to the GTD methodology (although the concept of quick capture is really universal and can be applied to any productivity system you choose to employ, including the Agile Results) methodology we’ve blogged about before.
