The Project Later task for sub-tasks that I have intentionally deferred until later versions of that project.The Project On-Hold task is for sub-tasks that have been placed on hold, but we may still get back to.

I do not want to lose any ideas no matter the source while I am working on the project. The Project Ideas task is used to capture (as sub-tasks) thoughts and ideas on what could be done but is not planned, yet. I also create a few вЂspecialвЂ™ tasks in each project: Larger tasks are broken down into sub-tasks, but I do not go into too much detail with these. In my mind, all tasks are assigned to a project. I create all of the projects that I am involved in within each area folder. Whether itвЂ™s the multitude of applications to design at work, my consulting clients to support, or bigger ticket items in personal space, they are all projects. Given that I have a Project Management background, to me almost everything I do is part of a larger project. As soon as I post this, I will move focus to my Personal area. As of writing this, I am focussed on the Hiltmon area. This breakdown allows me to separate and focus on the tasks in the area of my life I am in now. I have top-level folders for each of the four areas of my life I manage in OmniFocus: Personal, Maritime (work), Noverse (consulting) and Hiltmon (here). Which means the first level of all my OmniFocus tasks is the in the Projects tab. That is a lot of things to stay on top of.Д«ut with a bit of structure, a taste of discipline and a comfortable workflow, OmniFocus helps me stay on top of all of these things. As of writing this post, I have 260 active line items in OmniFocus.

I work at a Hedge Fund by day, run my consulting firm at night, write this blog and have a personal life.

IвЂ™m a software designer, developer, project manager and part-time writer. Maybe some of the alternative ways I use it can improve the way you do too. How I chose OmniFocus is a topic for another day, how I use it my way is the topic for today. IвЂ™ve been using OmniFocus as my primary tool for task management for years, yet I never read the GTD book.
