Hi Gang,
I've been using iGTD for sometime now and grown quite adept at it. I now have about 300 tasks in iGTD and using quicksilver I can input tasks FAST and using its filter and priority system I can manage each day.
That being said I generally love the Omni products and use them everyday. I'm in the sneaky peak but can't seem to get my mind wrapped around some of the principles. I've watched Ethan's screencasts and understand it generally but I've got many projects and trying to figure out if I can manage them in OmniFocus. So a few specific questions.
1. Is there a way to just see the projects with a due date of "today" by project or folder? Maybe the problem is my paradigm but I manage many projects and several people. I need things pop up for me on future dates .. sometimes distantly future .. but I don't want to have to comb through the list every day. In iGTD I use the filter to sort that stuff down.If so ... how?
2. On a related note, is there a way to take todays projects and prioritize them similar to the iGTD 1-5 system?
3. Is there a web resource that discusses the filter ribbon in detail?
4. Is it too early to try and make this switch? Should I stick with iGTD longer?
In many ways OmniFocus appears to me a better application but I'm getting hung up on some of these items that I need every day.
Thanks for all of your help.
