In my previous OmniFocus systems I used flags to denote those things that were my current priorities (not just for today, but the next few). You can even reorder the actions as you wish. For anyone who always wanted to use Forecast as a working/‘Today’ perspective, this may be your answer. Items tagged with this are granted a special status: they will appear in the Forecast perspective alongside due and deferred items. In a few months of use, my tags are almost identical to my old contexts, but with one very important addition. Tags combined with the power of custom perspectives can give you an always-ready set of lists of the baking that will: get you a licensure, make your friends happy, push you forward innovating at your fledgling patisserie. I might also suggest using as few as you can get by with. I’d recommend adding a repeating action to review your tags, especially whilst in flux, to think about how they’re working. You could also use tags for people, a time of day, energy level, priority or steps in a planning process (researching, planning, doing, delivering).įor what tags to use, my advice remains steadfast: think about how you work or want to work, try out tags and adjust as necessary. Some tags may be analogous to contexts in prior versions of OmniFocus like tools/equipment or places. Instead, it’s more important to think of them as avenues that will provide ways to view your action lists. At first thought the idea of tags could seem overwhelming, but only if you think of them as you might in any other app, as categories. These recipes may require slight alterations to the laws of physics, but that’s another app.Īnother way that OmniFocus 3 extends its power is by using tags.
This will show only the actions from your Enriched Breads folder which are available (incomplete, not deferred or held back), quick to prepare (less than 30 minutes) and aren’t tagged with nuts or currants. Has an estimated duration less than: 30 minutes Is contained within project or folder: Enriched Breads You can build this custom perspective: All of the following: Say you often want to make a quick loaf for friends (some of whom have nut allergies or despise currants) as you work your way through all the enriched bread recipes you could find.
The power comes from boolean logic (AND, OR, NOT) rules. These rules are based on the same (and some new) criteria used in the old perspective builder. OmniFocus 3 takes the custom perspectives of the past and boosts them to new levels with rules. For this case, you can create a custom perspective. However sometimes you may find you want more clarity or you find yourself preparing the same views over and over. The in-built views, perspectives, of your actions provide simple ways to slice into your task lists to get your work done with what’s happening now.
