Like many OF users, I use flagged actions to mark which actions I want to complete right away.

When I interviewed Ken Case a while ago, he passed along another tip: Use the start date as a "snooze button" to push actions a little bit into the future. I often do that at two-hour intervals.

So at any give time I have about a dozen flagged actions on my radar, and if I want to narrow the focus further, I'll select 9 of them or so and set their start time two hours in the future.

How about adding an actual snooze button to OmniFocus? When clicked, it would set the start date of the selected task or tasks to a user-configurable time in the future? The user would set the time interval in the "Preferences" pane.

Just a thought.

You might try using or modifying the postpone script linked to in the Extras forum.

Thanks, Lucas - I've been searching for that script for some time and I'm not finding it. Link, please?

The script is called "Defer", not postpone. See this thread.

The defer script has been helpful and worked for me

Thanks. I haven't been able to modify it to get it to work to my satisfaction -- indeed, after I modified it it didn't work at all.

I'm looking for one button that, when pressed, changes the start date of an action item or project to three hours in the future.
