Video: How I Use OmniFocus to Track Tasks (12m)

OmniFocus is a task manager that was built around the concepts of Getting Things Done, a popular action management system by David Allen.

I’ve been a fan of Getting Things Done and a casual user of OmniFocus for years, mostly focusing on long term projects. For weekly stuff I used to do a manual list in Bear but a few weeks ago I took the time to see if I could make OmniFocus work for my weekly list, and so far it’s working out great. This video is a review of what’s changed.

PS: One things I forgot to mention in the video is that for my side project I use Pivotal Tracker for actionable technical tasks and keep the marketing and general business tasks in OmniFocus. I am also experimenting with a public project roadmap but that is more experimental.
