Flexible NotificationsĬurrently, I might use a Considered task to decide when to start a task. Currently, if I have to schedule something for 4th Saturdays, I would have to create a task at the beginning of the month reminding me to create another task for the 4th Saturday.
I don’t have to schedule a task to schedule another task anymore. Take a look at a previous post I did about tags vs contexts here, though the post is nearly 7 years old. Tags would likely consolidate things and remove the need for sub-contexts. Meanwhile, the & Flow : – Laptop context is excellent for clearing regularly. The context is useful when I focus on a project but is not very useful as a standalone list. The latter is useful for short tasks while the former is used for larger tasks that could be done at the laptop. For example, I have a context for and another called & Flow : – Laptop. Currently, I do use certain workarounds for what are tag-like features. In fact, using tags could be quite excellent.
I worry it might be too easy to create tags and not follow up on them. There is a benefit to contexts in that one needs to be very streamlined in thinking through where a task best resides and how and where you’ll access it. Contrast that to tags in which multiple can be assigned to any task. There can only be one context assigned to a task. It’s also the feature I’m most nervous about. Tags are likely what’s most tantalizing for most users. According to Ken, they are aiming for a Testflight in Quarter 1 of this year! Tags
#Omniplan vs manual#
OmniFocus 3 looks like its getting tags, manual sorting, flexible scheduling, flexible notifications, a collaboration option, and more. The latest one has Omni’s CEO, Ken Case, discussing his thoughts on the Omni Group 2018 Road Map. They include visions for OmniOutliner, OmniGraffle, OmniPlan, and of course, OmniFocus.Īlso, I just discovered that the Omni Group has a podcast. But perhaps there is an outcome that could change how we work together.The Omni Group has put together a their plan for the next year.
#Omniplan vs software#
This is a software challenge but probably more so, a theoretical challenge. I guess what I'm postulating, is a new project management schema, that brings in the individual action management of OF to project management. In OmniFocus, I can be a little bit looser, but still feel on track. What I've found with OmniPlan, is that it works, but I must keep super clean on all details. Where my work currently differs (and I acknowledge, I'm in the minority), is that I'm trying to figure out work domain knowledge as I go, and bring on help in a kind of ad-hoc way.
Domain knowledge is also especially important. I realize there is a methodology to (software-based) project management involving multiple human and other resources, and that is where project management software, properly applied, can shine. Both were projects that mostly were me as the one doing the work, and resources weren't significant.
#Omniplan vs for mac#
I don't have a breadth of project management software experience, but I've devoted a lot of time to two such projects, one in Microsoft Project for Mac LONG ago (don't laugh ), and now with OmniPlan.
