Since the Inbox primarily serves as a temporary resting place for new tasks, it doesn’t support complexity beyond simple grouping to add hierarchical nuance to a task with many parts, consider assigning it to an existing project with the inspector. The Inbox contains a list of individual items that can be organized hierarchically into item groups. Once you’ve processed an Inbox item (added a project or tag, converted it to a project, or assigned it some other fate), it will likely disappear off to its new location. Many workflows use the Inbox as an initial point of entry, a transient receptacle for ideas big and small. To add an item to the Inbox from anywhere, click New Inbox Item in the toolbar. The Inbox is the catch-all perspective for depositing everything that you’d like to do. When in the Projects or Tags perspective, the bottom of the sidebar contains an Action Menu button for quick access to commands based on your current perspective. Tags, the places, people, things, and states of mind most relevant or conducive to accomplishing your tasks.įlagged, where tasks designated with the most important priority or visibility are gathered.įorecast, where you can view your tasks chronologically and integrate them into your schedule. Projects, where related tasks are grouped together into overarching plans and hierarchies. The Inbox, where you’ll stash all the tasks and to-dos that come to mind for later processing. By default this includes the following built-in perspectives: You can switch between perspectives using the tabs on the left side of the OmniFocus window. The function of the sidebar for each built-in perspective is discussed in the section for that perspective. The sidebar consists of perspective tabs for quick navigation between your perspectives, and (for perspective other than the Inbox) provides a high-level means for surveying what’s on your plate. Nestled on the left side of the OmniFocus window, next to the outline, lives the sidebar (click to show or hide it). The sidebar appears on left side of the OmniFocus window, and controls what is displayed in the outline. OmniFocus for the Web comes with five built-in perspectives that represent specialized, commonly-used view states specifically designed to help you organize, prioritize, and add context to your tasks.
This week's episode of Back to Work is sponsored by MailChimp and The OmniFocus 2 Debut.All of your to-dos in OmniFocus live in a database behind the scenes, and perspectives are how you look at and interact with the contents of that database.
