I've been using GTD for a year or so now, and Omnifocus for about 3 months. I love OF, but I could use some suggestions about how to schedule tasks.
Thus far I've been doing scheduling like this. During my weekly review on Sunday I schedule firm due dates during the coming week for high priority actions.
This works okay, but the problem I am encountering is this. When I schedule due dates for high priority actions, it is difficult to spread things out properly. That is, I end up schedule a ridiculously busy Tuesday, then not much on Wednesday and Thursday, an impossibly busy Friday.
I have been lurking on the forum and I know that the issue of showing actions graphically on a calendar such as iCal is a well-discussed topic, and the dev team has decided against it.
My question is, since showing the items graphically is not the OF way of doing things, what is a convenient way to schedule actions without piling them up too much? Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!
