I just got OmniFocus for Mac, iPad, and iPhone, all from Apple’s App Stores.

I have top-level folders for roles: Daughter, Friend, Professional, Homeowner, Consumer, HOA Treasurer, and a few other things.

When I’m home from work for the weekend, I’d like to have a way of seeing everything EXCEPT tasks in the Professional folder. (I’ll turn them back on if I want, and will include them in my weekly review, but I don’t want them there when I am home.)

I thought maybe if I paused the Professional folder all would go away when I viewed by available tasks or next actions, but it doesn’t seem that folders can be paused or put on hold. Maybe I could put a new Professional task inside Professional and pause that, but that seems silly.

I thought I could search for “NOT professional” or “-professional,” but (1) that does not seem to work and (2) I might use the word “professional” elsewhere.

I thought I could group everything else into “Not professional,” but that does not seem to work either and ended up emptying my other folders and aggregating everything else into a new folder, very different than what I wanted.

I think I’m missing something here. Could you help?

Thanks.
