![]() ![]() I use Launch Center Pro to remind me to do my daily review every evening at 8:30pm, and it launches me straight into Inbox - no distractions!Īt this point I go through my Inbox tasks. The tags attached to these tasks are also added to other tasks on the fly, so when I get home from work I can quickly open my Home from Work perspective (I use Launch Center Pro to trigger this based on my location), and see not only my routine tasks but also anything else I can get done this afternoon/evening. Everyone one of these tasks has a defer date, and unless there is a specific deadline given no due date. Some tasks could be done at various points in my day so they get more than one tag - this allows for much greater flexibility than I would have with multiple projects or action groups. ![]() These items get given tags based on the time of day when I wish to complete them so I can see all of my routine tags at once. I recently added a routine tasks project to my OmniFocus. I did experiment with lots of tags but found that a lot of what I was trying to accomplish with tags could be accomplished better by improving the task name. Not everything has a tag - my university studies don’t need them due to their structure - and not everything that does have a tag has more than one tag. When I’m waiting on someone to do something I tag that item with both Waiting On as well as their name - this means that when I look under their name I see that as well as wanting to talk to them about A, B and C, I’m also waiting on D and can check on the current status if appropriate. On my iPhone I chose to use Errands to try and nudge me into completing those in a more timely fashion - it’s definitely working! My next stop is generally 30 minutes or less - where I pick one task which has an estimated time of 30 minutes or less (or no estimated time) and complete it for a quick win.Īfter that I go into the project I’m working on right now and start getting things done! After lunch, I make a point of reviewing my Next Action perspective and try to get all my projects moved on by a step. I only assign a defer date when something cannot be done before a specific date, so this perspective is usually relatively empty. Every day I check my “Deferred” perspective first to make sure I’m on top of anything that has become available. Throughout my day I use a variety of perspectives - OmniFocus 3’s rule selection is very powerful. I also do a lot of capture through Workflow - for example, action groups, or through being prompted by a trigger list.Īt work, my 10.5” iPad Pro sits under my monitor showing me whichever perspective I’ve selected for the day and with the smart keyboard I’m just a CMD+N away from a new task. The vast majority of capture is done on my iPhone - I occasionally use Siri, but am equally likely to open OmniFocus directly and type in what I want rather than getting funny looks while sitting on the tram! Like many OmniFocus users I follow Getting Things Done, and one of the most important things is having a way to capture thoughts quickly. ![]() I’m on the go a lot - even at work, so my primary workspace is iOS, though I still love my Mac and OmniFocus there.
