![]() Reading this I am amazed at how full some people’s life seems, I really do not have enough going on personally to warrant OF, maybe I am just boring? For me OF is a hub to do things elsewhere, open Instapaper, write, code, do admin, etc etc. ![]() I really try to keep personal stuff out of OF, reminders is fine for simple shopping stuff. Reading lists go into Instapaper with a reminder daily to consider checking Instapaper, clogging OF with links to saved articles seems crazy and will without doubt lead to feeling overwhelmed. This takes the pressure of, my daily list has focus, each “meta task” has a link to the custom perspective it relates to so I just drill down to where I need to be at any one time. With 'considered" I have a context with repeating tasks, for example ‘consider writing blog’ that repeats every few days, but I do not have to write a blog post just consider doing it. These are repeating every day, but only the meta task to check “first thing” appears in my daily dashboard. The same for communications list, afternoon list etc. For example I have a first thing list, and a meta task to check that list. Keeping things purely within OF I do like the concept of “meta tasks” and “considered”. Until now I haven’t found a more convenient or easy way to collect information and integrate it in my workflow (on desktop and mobile devices) and I have tried a lot of different apps (evernote, curio, microsoft one note, etc.). Within a single project I can rearrange all tasks and group them the same way as on a mind map. ![]() The next time I come to my desktop I review my inbox and assign all articles the context “Reference” and move it to the corresponding projects. I usually enter this information on my mobile device since a lot of good things come to my mind in my leisure time. When I find an interesting article, or a useful quote or anything else related to one of my backburner projects, I can send a link of a website, e-mail etc. I have also tried Curio but it is lacking the thing that I like most in OF - the very easy collection of new tasks/information on my iOS devices (and the possibility to easily assign a context to each piece of information). It makes my workflow and weekly review a lot of smoother and less clumsy.įWIW, I go the other way (Kanban -> OF) using Curio … This gives me a very clear insight to all my projects and a very good overview what I have to do now and also which projects are in the pipeline for further actions. I use the keyword “ #important” for this within the project note.Ī more detailed guide for the configuration can be found here: when one project is hanging because of another project or external input (waiting for).Īdditionally each project can be marked with a red flag to show me which are the most important projects to focus on. The project note is automatically read by my script configuration and then displayed in the correct position.Īll projects which are paused are dimmed within the Kanban board e.g. “ #pending” to “ #active” and pausing or activating the relevant projects. I do this by changing the project note from e.g. ![]() I have made 5 columns where I can see my “backburner”, “pending”, “next”, “active” and “completed” projects.Įach week in my weekly review I look at the Kanban board and choose 3-5 projects for my active column. The Kanban board can be configured by yourself according to your needs. It extracts all projects from the OF database and displays it in a Kanban board. I have found a very useful script from Jan-Yves Ruzicka named Omniboard. But when there are several folders and subfolders filled with projects another strategy is necessary. Within a single folder you can set the priority of the projects by rearranging the projects. The reason for this is that I have a lot of paused projects and the folder view for projects is just a limited help in OF. For me it was also a bit difficult to see the big picture (folder and project level) in OF.
