But it seems that OF is working for me more than I'm working for it, and that makes me happy. I also set due dates on tasks that I just don't want to slip out of my periphery (this is to help compensate my sometimes weak review habits).Īt the beginning of the day/week, I pencil tasks into my weekly planner.Īt this point I would like a quicker way to modify due dates (drag-and-drop on a calendar?). It's basically a guess as to when I expect to be able to work on a task (and sometimes it's weeks out). However, I don't use them as deadlines, but agenda setters.

I created an "Action Plan" perspective based on OF's Due perspective: Contexts:Due:Due:Remaining:AnyDuration:AnyFlagStat e. These are meetings, dinners, classes - anything I would want to remember to show up for outside of my normal routine. I have 2 one for 1 off actions like a recurring action to 'read one of my inspirational quotes' that happens daily. That is a special type of project that can contain those one-off only take 1 action items. I had been flagging things I wanted to do today/tomorrow (suggested by Tarun101).Īt this point, OmniFocus helps me plan my day/week, but I mostly refer to my paper agenda throughout the day.įirst of all, firm events go into the calendar (CalGoo for me). To answer the first part fo your question there is a concept in Omnifocus of a Single Action List.

I wanted to update the community with my current solution. In the past, I've struggled with using OmniFocus beyond the "right now," and have even demanded a calendar feature. How I Action Plan using OmniFocus and an agenda/planner.
