Use OmniFocus

We’ll help you get into the habit of using OmniFocus to manage your life and work.

It may be a bit of an obvious statement, but you won’t get much benefit from OmniFocus unless you use it regularly. It’s important to configure OmniFocus to match your life and work and to get into the habit of making daily use of OmniFocus. This daily use includes frequent reviews of OmniFocus to help ensure that it accurately reflects your life and work.

Where to Start

The Start Smart with OmniFocus 4 course is an excellent place to start. In addition to learning the basics of OmniFocus, you’ll learn recommended practices for using OmniFocus as you navigate your life and work. This course is for everyone, whether you’re new to OmniFocus or have been using it for years.

The next step is to complete OmniFocus 4: Beyond the Basics. This course picks up where Start Smart with OmniFocus leaves off and helps you make more advanced use of OmniFocus. You’ll learn multiple ways to capture tasks into OmniFocus and how to build custom perspectives that help guide your day-to-day use of OmniFocus.

If you’ve gotten out of the habit of using OmniFocus, it’s likely that OmniFocus is out of date and has fallen into a state of disarray. Just like a garden, OmniFocus needs to be maintained to be useful.

The Getting Back on Track with OmniFocus 4 course will help you structure OmniFocus so that it reflects your life and work and delivers practical strategies for using OmniFocus as you navigate the day. This course emphasizes the importance of regular reviews and maintenance and introduces techniques to make this system maintenance as quick and convenient as possible.

Doing Focused Work

The times we live in are sometimes called the “age of distraction.” What tugs at our attention can negatively impact our ability to take on meaningful and fulfilling work. The Practical Focus with OmniFocus 4 course offers practical insights and techniques to help you establish and choose what to focus on and enter a focused state.
