Hi,
I'm only one week into using omnifocus, but used it to "deliver" my daughters party project without forgetting anything and not being up til silly hours fretting whether I had!
I've started to put in some work based projects and actions, but I am struggling particularly on one thing at the moment.
I do project management and resource management amongst other things, and will often get a vague email requesting someone and I need to determine the who, what and book the when myself. Determining the who and what relies heavily on others for input, technically, financially, etc and I need to make sure I know where these emails/phone calls have got to.
I set up a resource management context as this isn't a project, but a job role effectively, but I'd like to keep track of when I'm waiting on key people as I have weekly reviews with them (heads of two teams ), so I also have waiting on contexts for these key people.
My bother is that I now have a truckload of tasks with no project, as they are mostly single actions. Should I be bothered by this? Should I set up a resource management project even though it's a project I can effectively never deliver?
Any ideas for a newbie to both GTD and omnifocus would be appreciated (and sorry if this is a little long winded!)
