Using OmniFocus and Checklists to Boost Accuracy and Efficiency
Learn why checklists are highly effective and how they can be used in OmniFocus and complementary productivity apps.
Checklists are an essential element of productivity. They help us take a consistent, proactive approach to life and work and can leverage learning from past mistakes to ensure that these blunders aren’t repeated.
This course was created using OmniFocus 3. We plan to release an updated course for OmniFocus 4. In the meantime, most of the content in this course applies to OmniFocus 4.
In this course, we explore the many ways that checklists can be useful, whether you’re preparing for a trip with your family, making sure that you’re delivering what you promised to your client, or even preparing to perform surgery. We take a deep dive into practicalities, including where to store these lists and how to use OmniFocus to help ensure that they’re given the appropriate amount of attention.
Recommended Prerequisites
Especially if you’re new to OmniFocus, it’s recommended that you go through the Start Smart with OmniFocus 3 course (or Start Smart with OmniFocus 4 if you’re using OmniFocus 4) before going through this course. You might also want to watch the recording of the OmniFocus 3: Beyond the Basics course (or OmniFocus 4: Beyond the Basics) to get better acquainted with OmniFocus’ more advanced features.
