Applescript: Export Things ‘Today’ tasks to OSX 10.8 reminders & iCal

In my quest to find the perfect GTD client, I constantly switch back and forth between OmniGroup’s Omnifocus and Cultured Code’s Things. I have also recently become accustomed to using Blotter for Mac to display my calendar on my desktop. Sure, it would be nice to would like my day’s tasks to appear on Blotter, but ultimately, I would still like to be able to schedule some of my day’s tasks in iCal without manually re-creating them.

For quick access, you can assign this applescript to a shortcut key and run it once right before you do your daily task scheduling.

    Thank you for this! Ever since they removed the feature from Things I have considered ditching it for Reminders altogether, but now it looks like I won’t have to.
