Students + OmniFocus?
 
Hello everyone,


I'm new to OmniFocus and I was hoping someone could give me some advice about a question I have.


I am a student and I'm not very familiar with the GTD system. I've been using OmniFocus through the free trial and I've really enjoyed working with it so far. My only concern is that it's not flexible enough to accommodate my needs or wants as a student. I was wondering if there are any students out there who have ideas on how I can make it cater more to the life of a student (such as how to organize classes, assignments, deadlines, etc.)?


Thanks so much!

In what areas do you think OmniFocus lacks the requisite flexibility? Is going to school not a large collection of tasks which have to be tracked and completed? That's pretty much the target for OmniFocus, I think :-)

A few threads I recall about classwork and OmniFocus:

I would definitely read David Allen's book and read the OmniFocus White paper:

OmniFocus is quite possibly one of the most flexible GTD apps out on the market.
