Hi,
I try to use Omniplan for organising my Ph.D. (apart from OF and OO).
There are roughly two different things I do every workday: Writing and reading. I have the mornings from 8.30 to 12.30 a.m for writing in my office and the evenings from 8.00 - 9.30 p.m. for reading at home.
Now let's say I have a bunch of writing-tasks like "write chapter x", "write chapter y" and reading-tasks like "read chapter x in book z".
How can I work with this in Omniplan? I thought I could have a resource called "writer" and one "reader" and when I allocate "writer" to one task, it gets scheduled at the proper time in the morning, same for "reader" in the evening. "Writing" and "reading" are interdependent: Sometimes I cannot start writing unless I have read a certain text before.
I also tried to change the calendars for the reader and the writer. I work on my Ph.D. 5,5 hours every day: 4 hours writing and 1,5 hours reading.
However, I created a big mess. Nothing is working as expected.
I also tried working with percentages, same mess. Any suggestions how I could solve this problem?
