#Todoist or omnifocus how to

I organize OmniFocus according to my 5 areas of responsibility: Personal, Family, Social, GFC, and Business. If you went through the previous article, I trust you have already installed your task management tool and begun the basic setup. I will tell you how I use it in the hope that you can use that as a starting point and adapt it to fit your life and your responsibilities.

No two people use OmniFocus exactly the same way, and most people don’t use it exactly the same way for very long.

#Todoist or omnifocus how to

Let’s talk about how to get your life into a task management system, and how to structure a basic workflow. However, most of the principles I am about to lay out will also work with ToDoist or similar packages. I appreciate its rich feature set, its attractive design, its excellent desktop and iPhone apps, and the way it comfortably complements the way I like to get things done. I use OmniFocus as my task management tool. There is a real sense in which all of the other tools are supplemental to it, because this is the one that will determine and propel your actions each day. While each of the four tools is important, none is more crucial to the functioning of the system than this one. The task management tool is tool you use to store and organize your tasks or actions. Today I want to turn to the very practical subject of task management tools because they represent the heart of an effective productivity system. I structure my life and live within a system so that day-by-day and week-by-week I am executing plans and projects that reflect the time I spent considering how to do those good things that bring glory to Him. But what I ensure I do is reserve moments of deliberate thoughtfulness and in these times consider and plan how I can do good to others and in that way glorify God. When I sit down to do paperwork for the church I don’t think, “How can I glorify God in this?” When I take my son out for breakfast I don’t think, “How can I do him good and glorify God over the next hour?” Perhaps I should, and I probably have a lot of room for growth here. Let me confess: Doing good to others and bringing glory to God is not something I think about every moment. Sponsor Show Your Support Become a Patron
