Transfer every task for the upcoming week to the appropriate day in your FFP.This is where you can see all of your upcoming tasks and the days during the upcoming week that they’re deferred to or due. Tag them, assign them to the appropriate projects if they belong to one, assign defer dates and, only when absolutely necessary, assign due dates.
#USING OMNIFOCUS FULL#
During your weekly review 2, which you probably complete on Sunday afternoon/evening if you’re using the Full Focus Planner, open OmniFocus to the Inbox and process any tasks that are there.Together, they combine to form a juggernaut for making sure you get the right things done today while maintaining the ability to plan far into the future. Separately, they are some of the most powerful tools available for making sure you get things done. My tools of choice for a hybrid system are OmniFocus 1 and the Full Focus Planner. The digital and analog worlds can coexist peacefully in what Michael Hyatt refers to as a hybrid system. “Digital minimalism definitively does not reject the innovations of the internet age, but instead rejects the way so many people currently engage with these tools.”Ĭal Newport, Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World Cal Newport, Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World Cal Newport makes an important argument for an appropriate level of technology use in his book Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World. We have to learn to use technology without allowing it to use us. In essence, we’re trading one set of problems for another. Increasingly, the productivity world is rightly arguing that, as great as technology is at solving certain problems and allowing us a greater sense of mobility, it’s equally great at creating new distractions. BLUF: Stay focused and avoid the distraction of technology throughout the week by using OmniFocus’s Forecast perspective in your weekly review to enter appointments and tasks for your upcoming week into your Full Focus Planner.
