And Brian, why have you decided to keep yours outside of OmniFocus in a separate OO file? Linking it in to OF as an attachment is a good idea and something I hadn't really considered.

I keep my someday/maybe list in an OO file because it started out there, before I started alpha testing OF. I never bothered to move it into OF. I think of the someday/maybe list as a list of things that I imagine I might want to do, but to which I haven't made any commitment--even the minimal commitment of thinking about what the next action would be for that project. Until I make that minimal commitment, I haven't been entering things in OF.
I keep other OO lists, including checklists for packing for trips and other specific, recurring occasions, and lists of routines that I would like to become habitual. And I have mind maps of some territories in my areas of responsibility. I like using whatever tool seems best, and if I use a tool besides OF for something of which I want a regular reminder, I can link to the file.
