My projects are mostly sequential and organized so there is a well defined next action. Tasks or projects that can’t be started before a certain date get a start date. Tasks that must be finished by a certain date get a due date. Otherwise, I never assign start or due dates.

When I have time to look for a task to do, I filter the context view by next action. Then I can leisurely pick things that I feel like doing based on where I am and what’s on hand.

Tasks that must happen on a specific day and time go on my calendar instead of Omnifocus.

Very low stress to not have your task list bugging you all the time. I like to go look for the work when I can do it instead of having my machine bug me and wondering when and how I’m going to fit it in.
