SUMMARY:Managing Large Projects with OmniFocus 3
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to bring large projects from concept to creation using OmniFocus and complementary third-party apps. \n \n\nLarge projects can span weeks\, months or even years. They may be something that you take on personally (e.g. completing a university degree) or as part of a team of people (e.g. building a house or introducing a new product line at work). \nIt’s important to have a strategy for taking on these major endeavors and a solid system to help keep you on track. Otherwise\, procrastination will likely kick in and the project will end up taking much more time and energy than is necessary. \nSession Overview\nThis session takes you through the process of bringing large projects to fruition using OmniFocus and complementary third-party apps. \nWe’ll cover the full project lifecycle\, everything from the initial project planning to managing the details of the discrete actions that contribute to the ultimate outcome.\n\nWe’ll also look at how OmniFocus fits into the picture if you’re working on the project as part of a team. And you’ll learn some practical strategies for staying engaged and motivated\, even when the finish line is far off in the future. \nWhat You’ll Learn\nAttend the LIVE session and learn: \n\nPractical strategies for approaching large projects that you’re taking on individually or as part of a team. Featured apps include MindNode and OmniOutliner.\nHow to manage and monitor the big picture of long-term projects without feeling overwhelmed by the scale of the project.\nHow to structure large projects in OmniFocus.\nThe advantages of using multiple smaller projects instead of one large project with numerous groups.\nHow to make use of project checklists in OmniFocus to help ensure that nothing falls through the cracks.\nHow to use parallel/sequential action groups within parallel/sequential projects to control when actions become available.\nHow to conveniently use complementary apps alongside OmniFocus to store and reference project notes and research. Featured apps include Apple Notes and Evernote.\nHow to use OmniFocus with team collaboration apps\, including Asana and Trello. While these apps are designed to be used in team environments\, they can also be very helpful for keeping track of large projects that are being taken on by individuals.\nHow OmniPlan can be useful for tracking timelines and dependencies and ways of using OmniPlan alongside OmniFocus.\nAnd more…\n\nRecommended Prerequisites\nIt’s recommended that you watch Start Smart with OmniFocus 3\, whether you’re new to OmniFocus or an experienced user. In addition to showcasing OmniFocus’ features on Mac\, iOS/iPadOS\, Web\, and Apple Watch\, this session provides a review of best practices and recommended conventions. Also check out OmniFocus 3: Beyond the Basics to delve further into OmniFocus’ feature set. Among other things\, you’ll learn how to create and edit perspectives on both Mac and iOS/iPadOS (Pro Edition). \nThis session builds on material from Practical Focus with OmniFocus 3. While key concepts will be reviewed in this session\, it’s recommended that you watch this video ahead of time to get the most value out of topics covered in Managing Large Projects with OmniFocus 3.

SUMMARY:Getting Back on Track with OmniFocus 3
DESCRIPTION:Do you sometimes fall off the OmniFocus bandwagon? Learn practical ways to get back on track and avoid pitfalls in the future.\n \n\nPerhaps you started using OmniFocus with great enthusiasm\, but somewhere along the way\, your excitement has waned. OmniFocus may have begun to feel like another obligation to fulfill\, rather than a powerful ally that helps you do your best work. This session is a guide as you get OmniFocus back on track and will help you avoid pitfalls in the future. \nSession Overview\nFor those of you who have been using OmniFocus for a while\, this session is designed to help you reignite your enthusiasm for OmniFocus as you unlock its potential. And if you’re new to OmniFocus\, this session provides an excellent opportunity to learn how to spot common pitfalls before they compromise your productivity. \nDrawing upon insights presented in one of our most popular articles\, Common OmniFocus Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them\, this session takes you through the most common OmniFocus missteps. As you watch the session\, you’ll be invited to take a critical look at your system. And\, if you’ve fallen into any (or all) of these pitfalls\, fear not. You’ll receive practical guidance to help you get back on the bandwagon. \n \nCommon Pitfalls\nThis session takes you on a guided review of your OmniFocus setup. You’ll identify problem areas and take steps to transform your OmniFocus setup so that you have a system that helps you navigate life and work with grace and ease. We’ll focus on the following areas: \n\nOmniFocus Has Become a Dumping Ground — Perhaps you developed a solid habit of emptying your mind into the OmniFocus inbox…and ended up with an unmanageable amount of unclarified information. We look at how to deal with an overloaded system\, and how to avoid this situation in the future. This includes clarifying what belongs in OmniFocus and what is best kept elsewhere.\nUnclarified Projects and Actions — One key to unlocking OmniFocus’ prowess is to establish a habit around creating clearly defined projects and actions. As we go through the session you’ll have the opportunity to review your existing projects and actions and to determine if they need additional clarification.\nOverwhelming Number of Overdue Items — It can be tempting to add due items to things that you want to get done by a specific date\, even though they’re not technically due. We review best practices for the use of due dates and look at ways to transition towards using due dates effectively.\nOmniFocus is Out of Date — Keeping OmniFocus up-to-date and relevant is key to having it be a useful tool. If you’ve neglected your OmniFocus housekeeping\, you’re likely not very motivated to use it and may return to old habits of being driven by what David Allen calls “latest and loudest”. We’ll look at some ways to revive your OmniFocus setup and practice as well as strategies to keep it from being left to gather virtual dust down the road.\nToo Many…or Not Enough Tags — Tags can be a highly effective way to target specific actions based on things like your physical location\, your energy level and the people you’re with. You’ll be guided through a review and revamp of your current tags so that you can get maximum value from this powerful feature.\n\nGetting Back on Track\nThis session includes practical instruction for: \n\nDetermining what belongs in OmniFocus and what is best kept elsewhere.\nTriaging your OmniFocus setup to get back to a usable system. This includes making use of OmniFocus documents/backups and OmniOutliner.\nMoving towards a system that is\, as David Allen says\, “as simple as possible\, but no simpler”.\nUsing tags in combination with folders\, projects\, and single-action lists to create a system that is convenient and manageable.\nSimplifying your OmniFocus setup by offloading projects and actions that fall outside your realm of responsibility.\nDetermining what you can realistically accomplish. To quote David Allen\, “you can do anything\, but not everything”.\nPerforming daily and weekly reviews of your OmniFocus\nUsing custom perspectives to easily identify inaccuracies and inconsistencies in your OmniFocus database.\nAnd more…\n\nRecommended Prerequisites\nEspecially if you’re new to OmniFocus\, it’s recommended that you watch the recording of the Start Smart with OmniFocus 3 session before watching this session. You might also want to watch the recording of the OmniFocus 3: Beyond the Basics session to better acquainted with OmniFocus’ more advanced features.

SUMMARY:OmniFocus 3 Workflows with Joe Buhlig
DESCRIPTION:Joe Buhlig is returning to Learn OmniFocus LIVE to take us on a tour of his current OmniFocus setup and workflows. \n \n\nJoe has a long history with OmniFocus and was a guest on Learn OmniFocus back in 2015. He has written extensively about his OmniFocus workflows on his blog and has crafted some very helpful AppleScripts that are popular among OmniFocus users. \nFor example\, Joe wrote an AppleScript called Update Reviews that changes weekly\, monthly\, and annual review dates to match the specified day of the week\, month\, and year. Another\, called Read Book Tasks\, creates actions in support of reading a book within a specific date range. \nBookworm\nSpeaking of books\, Joe co-hosts the popular Bookworm podcast with Mike Schmitz. Every two weeks Joe and Mike share their impressions of a book\, including how they’re applying the wisdom contained in its pages to their day-to-day life and work. Their Book List began with David Allen’s Getting Things Done and has since grown to over 75 titles. \nRevamping OmniFocus\nTo accommodate changes in his life\, Joe recently did a complete revamp of his OmniFocus Setup and Workflows\, drawing some wisdom from Learn OmniFocus\, Kourosh Dini\, David Sparks\, and others. \nJoe provides a summary of his new approach on his blog and will take us on a deep dive during the LIVE session\, including his decision not to use tags\, how he uses defer dates\, and his strategies for developing habits. \nAbout Joe Buhlig\nJoe grew up on a farm in Missouri and has built his career around agriculture. He’s worked in soybean seed research and on data analysis and web application development in a corporate setting. He now works from home dreaming up and creating new technologies. \nHe’s a fan of woodworking\, anything Apple\, coffee\, and DIY projects around the house.

SUMMARY:OmniFocus 3 Workflows with Beck Tench
DESCRIPTION:Teacher\, PhD student\, and researcher\, Beck Tench will be joining us on Learn OmniFocus LIVE to share how she uses OmniFocus alongside other productivity apps and paper-based solutions. \n \n\nBeck’s OmniFocus Journey\nBeck was an early adopter of OmniFocus\, but abandoned it years ago in favour of what she describes as “simpler and more aesthetically pleasing options”. After experimenting with a variety of other tools\, she returned to OmniFocus in 2018\, concluding that “OmniFocus is the most robust and thoughtful tool out there right now for my needs.” \nAfter years of experience in the productivity realm\, Beck was well equipped for her return to OmniFocus. She makes good use of carefully-chosen emojis to bring a strong visual element to OmniFocus. She also uses OmniFocus to help cultivate the person she wants to be\, emphasizing her role as a wife\, friend\, daughter\, colleague\, and neighbour\, in addition to her own personal development. \nOther Tools and Approaches\nBeck has years of experience using paper-based solutions alongside digital tools. Among other things\, she uses a modified version of the paper-based Bullet Journal note-taking method that was created by Ryder Carroll. \nShe’s also a fan of the Pomodoro Technique that was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. Her procrastination-preventing implementation includes her bullet journal\, OmniFocus\, and the Be Focused timer app. \nHer academic workflows includes Google Docs\, Tinderbox\, Paperpile\, Bookends\, Hazel\, GoodNotes\, and DEVONthink. \nYou can learn more about Beck’s time and task management workflows on her website. \nAbout Beck Tench\nBeck Tench is a wife\, daughter\, friend\, teacher\, gardener\, cyclist\, kind stranger\, and PhD student at the University of Washington Information School. She researches how the design of physical and digital spaces cultivates contemplative experience and practice. She is particularly interested in understanding how space facilitates a greater capacity for accessing personal wisdom\, connecting with others through compassion and friendship\, improving the quality of our lives through greater awareness of life as we’re living it\, and coping with the distractions of digital culture. \nShe was formally trained as a designer at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and spent her career before returning to academia helping museums\, libraries\, and non-profits embrace risk-taking\, creativity\, and change through technology and personal space-making. Her work from that time was mentioned in the New York Times\, National Public Radio\, Scientific American\, and several books and blogs. \nAn Interactive Experience\nDuring the live session\, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and share insights using the chat box and audio/video conferencing. You’re welcome to join the live session 15 minutes before the start time to familiarize yourself with the online meeting technology we’re using and for an informal chat with other participants. The live session will remain active for 15 minutes after the completion time for additional questions and sharing.
