I’m not really even sure I’ll use tags much if at all.īy way of reference my current OF system which is much reduced from what it was even 6 months ago has For me I work in context lists and am still on OF 2 because I am also still using Sierra. I very rarely work out of the Forecast perspective. Review is critical as is keeping up with daily processing to add things to the OF list and to mark things as completed. I do occasionally block out time on my calendar to work in specific contexts but within that context I’ll just do the tasks as they come up. If I really have to do something at a particular time it’s in my calendar.
To answer a later question, I do not typically set a date or day or even time I want to work on something within OF. I second Rosemary’s advice to save your existing system out into another document and then you can selectively drag and drop projects as you rebuild your system. We have 2 contemporary groups of lambs so I actually have 2 next actions in that project, one for the early lambs and one for the late lambs with separate dates for each group of lambs. There are strict time limits for those measurements to be valid for calculating EBVs so my OF Project has a start date of the earliest date I can do them and a due date for the last day they can be done. For example, I have a project to get post weaning weights and scrotal circumferences on the ram lambs. I avoid putting in any due dates unless it really is critical. projects and tasks that haven’t been updated for a few months?

Does anyone have any good strategies for starting again, but keeping my archive of tasks around? Shall I just call OmniFocus bankruptcy and delete all the existing contexts (tags), perspectives. Need it to work for me and not feel like I’m constantly tending, and overwhelmed by, a huge database of overdue tasks, I want to avoid the ‘due bomb’ where at 5pm every night everything turns angry red because I didn’t happen to get to it, I’m hoping with the use of the forecast tag and less due dates, that tasks will simply roll into the next day. I’ve not seen this yet but it might be something if you’re a Things 3 user or someone who wants to learn about other task management practices. It also has a section that centers around general strategies.
The Sweet Setup web site has a screencast for sale focused on Things 3.
I haven’t gotten to this section yet but I do see this a little further down the list. There are a lot of strategies in the OF3 Field Guide. But I can put the pieces altogether to make a system that takes care of different aspects of my life. I don’t subscribe to the idea that I should have one app to do it all. I have a CRM for my customers and keep that work separate. My task app might be a great project/task manager but it would not be graceful as a CRM (Contact Relations Manager). If I see a deficiency in my task manager app, I’ll complement it with other apps. Then I’ll see if I can take some aspects of the other task app and try to implement them with my own task manager. Try out other task manager apps and try to figure out their philosophy and way of doing things.
That’s what I’ve done with a lot of my experiments. Does the Field Guide have material applicable to general manager/maker roles and how I could become super awesome, or is it more heavily OF-centric?
