That's just on the web view?ĮRIC: Oh, yeah! Look for an "Archive All", it's on the right side.
It basically says, "Delete everything that's aloo in 30 days." I've had Instapaper stuff in there that came from tags that I had in Delicious, which were from 2005-2006 that I've -ĬURTIS: I don't know there is that button. While you're talking, I open up my Instapaper, and god! Maybe a month ago, I actually went in there and there's a button, I've been afraid to hit it. What about you guys? Eric, have you used no or have you, I guess, not over-committed yourself?ĮRIC: I have to say that a lot. The screencast can turn an absolute OmniFocus novice into a task-managing ninja.
A lot of people have asked me to write a book about OmniFocus but instead I made this 2.5 hour video that takes you, soup to nuts, through the Omni Group’s supremely bad-ass task manager. Plenty of people like OmniFocus, but just as many people like Clear. The OmniFocus Video Field Guide is a screencast, not a book. I actually been used it yesterday in my Instapaper queue at 97 articles and decided, "I'm never going to read half of these, why they even put them in?" and just said 'No' to them all and dropped down to like 25 actual real articles that I will make time to read. and you can attach links and videos within the app. As we've been coming up to the bookclub, I've been reading the "Getting Things Done" book and I think the thing that's continually been impressed on me more and more and more is that so many of the issues are all these tasks and 9000 things that are flying at us are just the power of 'No'. Like I said, today's topic is the "Power of No". I'm Curtis McHale, filling in for Chuck today because he is, I don't know, he's off, probably sitting on the beach somewhere, not doing much. We have, Eric Davis joining us.ĬURTIS: And Reuven Lerner. If you’re stuck, if you have a good idea for the next version of OmniFocus, or if you just want to let us know how we’re doing, go ahead and send us an email.

Today, we're going to talk about the "Power of No". These videos range in topics from available features in the latest version of OmniFocus to how-to tutorial videos to help you level up in your OmniFocus skills.

Interestingly, David (the GTD/OmniFocus expert) seems to use Projects the same heretical way.Īlso: Like David, I work from home, and I favor the style of sweatshirt he’s wearing when Southern California weather turns cool. To the extent that I use projects at all, they tend to be areas of responsibility – one for a community organization I’m active in, another for maintaining my personal blog. And thanks to the integrations with popular productivity apps like Evernote, Things, and OmniFocus, Postbox makes this easy. “Prepare for vacation,” “fill out taxes,” etc. Classic canonical GTD defines a project as a list of two or more tasks with an end-goal. On the other hand, maybe one more switch…Īnother way I thought I might be using OmniFocus wrong: Using Projects as areas of responsibility. It is a complete waste of time and I’m not going through that again. On the other hand, I have made the OmniFocus-Things switch probably more than a dozen times over the years, with occasional side-excursions to ToDoist, 2Do, Wunderlist, etc. Indeed, I’m wondering, not for the first time, whether OmniFocus is overkill for me. 90% of my tasks go in the “Miscellaneous” project, which I have made into a single-action list. Now I’m seeing I’m not missing out – I just don’t need that level of detail. I have often wondered whether I’m missing out by NOT categorizing OF to the extent that and other experts do. I have previously wondered whether I am using OmniFocus wrong but now I see no, I’m doing fine. A little more than 40 minutes through listening to this excellent video.
