Sure, I’ve rigged up a lot of crazy systems in order to force myself to review tasks in other applications. It’s the only task manager that forces me to systematically and repeatedly review my projects and tasks. Reviews! I missed the review process in OmniFocus the most of all. I suspect this is an issue with iOS and has less to do with OmniFocus. Unfortunately, I rarely get notifications for my tags even after increasing the perimeter for the location.

I stopped putting shopping lists in my task manager so it doesn’t matter as much if I get an alert from OmniFocus when I get to Home Depot or the grocery store.

If I have something that I need to do as soon as I get home, I’m much more likely to use a Reminder through Siri. Location alerts were one of my favorite features of OmniFocus but after a long time without them, I don’t find them all that important to me now. Nesting projects and folders works perfectly though. I will admit that the option to nest tasks inside other tasks is a little non-obvious. Structure is dictated by me, not the application. In OmniFocus I can put projects in folders and even nest actions inside other actions. I have deep projects with multiple sub-projects. Core Features that I Missed from OmniFocusĪfter switching to Things 3 I really missed the task nesting in OmniFocus. OF3 is incredibly powerful for anyone with a large complex project but Things 3 is a UI joy for average work. TL DR: Tags and new Perspective options are highlights of a dated user experience. I dedicated myself to running my home and work projects with nothing but OmniFocus 3 for the past month. This article is concerned with the latest version of OmniFocus for iOS. My bonafides with GTD, task managers, and OmniFocus is easily discovered here on Macdrifter. I’ve had a frustrated love affair with OmniFocus for many years.
