I plan to stay a while so I don't mind doing the building work on it. I have blown so much of my time on futzing around with apps that don't like to play ball / or sync together its not funny any more. (TIP: this involves dragging your custom designed 'perspective' icons into the tool bar for easy 'one click' access) I am in my early stages with Omnifocus, but I have a power user chum (v handy for advice) and he echo's whats been said above re perspectives and taking a while to get the whole set up tweaked just the way you want / need it. back to trying to learn from you good folks. So I feel I need the same data entry functionality on the iPhone as on the desktop!) (My reason for wanting it is 80% of my tasks are derived from email text and I am 'away from the office' a lot. And we stand more of a chance of getting it! If you would like that too - please send a request into the support ninjas at Omnifocus.
OMNIFOCUS FOR MAC MANUAL SOFTWARE
The new 'hook's that iPhone 3.0 software (out this summer) has, may make this finally possible. I am trying to rally support for an updated iPhone app version to be able to import email info in the same way as the desktop version (details here ) If you are willing to accept those risks, I wish you luck.
Since Toodledo doesn't guarantee their service with warranties about the accuracy or reliability of its software or hardware (or the error-free operation thereof), you are up the proverbial creek if they fail in any of several areas. Pretty improbable, even with a nuclear detonation nearby (since if it is nearby. Mac service would all have to simultaneously fail. For my data to completely vanish, my hard drives (including a Drobo RAID), MacBook Pro, iPhone and. is much stronger argument against web-based services (showing web-based services have greater weaknesses) when you have no control over a web-based service. Your premise that automatic backups are not all that useful if the disk crashes or the app dies. Do you know what Toodledo runs on? Or how many people develop or support it? Or is ignorance bliss? In my experience, my Drobo has had more reliability than than a Fortune 500 company's services that I deal with (which is supported by a staff of seventy-five). That said, I am not sure the EULA topic is being given due consideration, since you have yet to respond to the items I quoted from Toodledo's legalese in an earlier post. It isn't the same issue, as one is a service, and the other is a locally operated tool. No problem for me- I whip out paper, and start making a next action list:Ĭlick to expand.To be frank, I am comfortable with OmniGroup's software EULA's. Suppose there is a nuclear detonation nearby, and an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) fries most electronics. I'm not denying that a local app might make you feel safer, but I don't think it is a significant advantage. The automatic backups are not all that useful if the disk crashes (the most likely problem) or the app dies (who wants to parse XML to find out the next action). Furthermore, if I use Omnifocus at home and at work, I am relying on some kind of net service to sync them, unless I am going to go back to hand-carrying a copy of my data around. If you are concerned about webware terms of service, how do you react to software EULA's? It's the same issue, and the fact is, a good data center must have a significantly better uptime than most end users do. Omnifocus is indeed zealous about back-up, I suppose in part because it had some rocky times in beta. So in Contexts view I've got a complete Someday/Maybe list and if I switch over to Projects view I can do my Weekly Review with project items serving as links to action items, checklist items and ways to tie Someday/Maybe into smaller chunks to review. Redeem Discover Card Cash Back (Someday/Maybe context) (Bills & FinancesCredit Cards sub-folders) As a result I've got a complete set of 20,000 Foot lists and actually started building 30,000 Foot and higher.įor example, under folder 20,000 Foot folder:
From there I could use OF projects for not only 10,000 Foot GTD Projects but also for 20,000 Foot Areas of Focus and Responsibility and so on.Īs I process and organize I force myself to not let any action items go into Miscellaneous. Then I created my top level folders in line with the Horizons of Focus. I created Someday/Maybe and Might Buy as contexts.
OMNIFOCUS FOR MAC MANUAL TRIAL
After some trial and error a few tricks really opened up the system for me. I struggled with the "Miscellaneous" folder for single action items.
I did a couple things in Omni Focus that really opened up my GTD system.
