As I don’t need contexts for other things, I use them for prioritizing. After I have checked if there are any tasks in the forecast view, I switch to these perspectives: In my case, I have two custom perspectives that I use all the time. There are usually solutions in the pro version. In that case, ask yourself what structure or presentation you are missing for efficiently getting things done your way. On the other hand, as you are still asking, it seems like you are hoping for Omnifocus to help you better than it does today. If you are satisfied with how you are getting your things done, stay with the standard version. Nicely structured as it is, the standard version is ready to use directly and will be sufficient for many users. Maybe you don’t need the pro version then, There is, after all, a reason why The Omni Group offer a standard alternative. Would anyone give some examples of how they use perspectives day-to-day. I’ve got 11 projects and about 330 action items half of these projects are on hold I’ll make them active when I finish the current ones.

I’m still in two minds about whether I should upgrade just for the two features I like. I don’t need a today perspective as I get the badge alert for items that are due today.Īll my regular maintenance stuff are in my calendar so I don’t need any perspective for that. Other than these two I didn’t find the other perspectives that’d be much useful to me. The second most impressive feature was focus everything else disappears and all my contexts are switched to the project I’m focusing on at the moment. So far the most impressive feature for me is the time estimate perspective where I can see if I have a bunch of items I can do in 5 minutes or 2 hours. I’ve been playing around with Pro and looked at other people’s custom perspective across the net. This script defers tasks until tomorrow, but you can make different versions of it that defers tasks any number of days into the future simply by replacing the digit 1 at the end of the script by another number: I often wish to defer tasks a specific number of days into the future. I often need to move tasks to the bottom or, more often, to the top of lists. This script open such links directly for one or more tasks: If they are placed as task names, you have to select the link there, ctrl-click on it, and choose ”Open URL” from the popup menu.

Right now, web links can only be opened by clicking if they are placed in the Note part of a task. Here are some scripts that I find useful: There are existing scripts that extend the functionality in Omnifocus in convenient ways. By the way, I think that the Applescript capability in Omnifocus might be of interest for you even if you’re not interested in scripting.
