Sciral Consistency fills an important niche between the calendar and the to-do list, and lets you track and receive feedback on day-to-day tasks that are repeating yet flexible.
Too bad it doesn't seem to be in development anymore (?). Price is a tad steep, so I'm passing this one for now, as I think it's still missing some few whistles n bells... But definitely adding it to my watch list on MacUpdate. PLUS, this app definitely gets my bonus award for being innovative, which is quite rare nowadays, competing in a field (todo/gtd, etc.) which is nowadays crowded by the hundreds of different players around.
Well, if you're like me new to GTD but still you have read the book and obsessively read the always interesting 43folders and Lifehacker, you know one thing: You can't (or at least, you should feel it's very difficult) to manage your life with basic todo lists.
Either, you tend to list all your problems and you get nervous of even being close (or even worse) read or write to it. —> Todo lists does not tell you how to do things, you tend to write down the big, creepy problem instead of managable tasks.
Priorities, todo dates and due dates are stuff I am, not far from, a master to ignore, procrastinate and well.. feel shtty about.
Sciral Consistency is so great: 90 % or maybe more of my "todos" – tasks I'm supposed to do – is stuff I could do now (especially now in fact – but I'm writing a review of an innovative todo list instead)... ;-) However, I tend to finish stuff with a 15 minutes margin — stupid behaviour. Hard to break. Somewhat unconsious behaviour though, which makes it even harder to start doing stuff When You Get It In Your Hand, bit by bit....
--> Sciral Consistency impressed me: A simple todo list, indeed, but it's an expert at showing time: Today and the following days are fading, having different colors dependent on which date you will complete something or maybe the date it should be done — no strict deadlines, that is: Green color will fade to red the closer you get to being late. Wonderful: Try it out, there's houndreds of todo lists out there – if you like it, go with it, if not find yourself something else for listing things related to time :-)
– Comments from the left and right parts of my brain: The Interesting & Weird but Useful Tool of the Week Award goes to Sciral Consistency. ;-)

This is a great program -- it lives in my Dock and I use it several times a day. Unfortunately, it seems to have been abandoned by its developer.
