Simple list of to dos for TODAY Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
I am a former Things user and just switched to OmniFocus. The flexibility and completness of the feature is what brought me over. The one feature that I desperately miss is the ability to quickly organize a list of tasks to do today. I don't see an easy way to do this with OF. I don't want to have to set due dates. Instead I'd like to review all open projects and pick the ones I want to work on today. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this with OF? If you are familiar with Things, you simply drag tasks to the "today" list. I'm looking for something that simple with OF.

Thanks!
 
Use flags to indicate what to do "Today".

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is only one flag to use so then I can't use flags for anything else. Plus tasks that are scheduled for today won't automatically be flagged for me.

True, only one flag. Tho, you can flag it while you process it. The flag doesn't affect how it shows up while being scheduled. In other words, it won't show up in flagged until it actually starts. Er, then again, I'm thinking of the iPhone client. Not sure about the desktop version, tho I'm fairly certain it follows the same rules.
 
The 1.6 sneakypeek added a "due or flagged" filter in the context view to be like the flagged+auto-add-to-today thing. If you like that way of of running OF you certainly can.

I would recommend also watching the video on the OF front page, though - I personally think that it is a lot less fiddling than to add dates or flags all the time.

The OmniFocus 1.6 sneaky peeks solve this by letting you view a single list of all items which are either Flagged or Due.
 
Okay where does one find this Omnifocus 1.6 sneaky peak?
