Dear Meg. Thanks a lot for your video and for share with us the way you are using OmniFocus, I am an OmniFocus fan as well and I was always trying to find ways to adapt OmniFocus for GTD, great ideas from your vid. Cheers!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This is gold! Thank you.
Thanks Meg! Needed this! I have far too much reference in actionable. ❤
Hi Meg. Once again, an amazing video. I've been using GTD and OF for over a decade and, as time passes, I naturally make it more complex. Rearranging everything in a simpler manner makes it so much easier to work. Your videos were my trigger to simplify it once more. The only part I still don't get it is how you effectively use OF as a reference tool. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience.
That's great you are doing another round of making OF more simple. I continue to do this when I find I too have made OF more complex than I need it to be. :) For me OF is for my current reference and Evernote is more for archive reference I want to keep. I clean up my OF reference folders 2x a year, more or less, to make sure it is current. Frankly, I don't keep much reference in OF as for work we keep our reference in google docs, as others need access to this information.
646 past due items in my forecast. Splendid video Meg.
I see this a lot with my clients. I have to be so honest with myself with due dates and to keep them to hard external due dates vs. "I'd like to get it done by. " due dates. :).
I love these videos Meg! I would be rlly looking forward to a showcase of ur Higher Horizons of Focus. This is something I am currently building rn myself.
I am glad you are finding value in these videos. Yes, I am planning on doing one on the Higher Horizons so stay tuned as I don't have a date for this yet.
quick question, why not use OF4 new version?? ( whit the new preserve hierarchy in forecast, that allow to use forecast tag+defer date for schedule all project and use due date as deadline?)
Hi, I will be moving to OF4 at some point and will give their new features a try.
I'd love to see daily and recurring tasks. Do you have repeating tasks in your tickler?
I mean Moore of how you handle daily and weekly recurring things without using defer dates, for example.
@@TheZemackdaddy - Thank you for your question. At this time, I do not need to track any daily or weekly recurring tasks, either personally or professionally. I do need to track monthly tasks and that is in my tickler. Some of those actions are monthly recurring actions like start the generator but I find I want the flexibility of deciding given the weather what day would be best at the beginning of every month and then I schedule the time in my calendar. What I found in the past is I grew numb to recurring tasks as I was being reminded when I really didn't want to see it at that time. Once I did track some daily tasks and I just created it in the word doc and printed it out as I wanted it on paper vs. in OF. What I always do is ask myself, what is this and how would I best like to be reminded to do this action and be reminded in a way that I would snooze, ignore it or just go numb to it. But again this is the way I do it and you may have recurring tasks that would benefit from using defer dates in OF and their other great features.
