![]() ![]() I use OmniOutliner for the events I organize, courses I teach and larger projects that I coordinate. (Another 10–15% are outlines of presentations and talks and the rest are writing outlines in fact I have OmniOutliner templates: Plan, Presentation and Manuscript). I have over 50 project plans which is about 1/5th of all my OmniOutliner files. My favorite software so far has been OmniOutliner. It makes a lot of sense to keep these items separate from your concrete next actions. Where should one keep project plans if not in OmniFocus? There is actually no good answer to this question. ![]() As a results they may contain a lot of open-ended items possibly only relevant in distant future and which are not necessarily your responsibility. In contrast, project plans should be systematic and comprehensive, they should not miss certain things just to spare your attention. Contexts, start dates, ‘on hold’ options, perspectives, sequentially organized projects, and other features of OmniFocus help filter out unwanted information and focus your attention on next actions. In the GTD terminology these are called “next actions”. OmniFocus is designed to provide an unambiguous list of concrete things that both should and can be done. One of the five things that should be kept out of OmniFocus are project plans.
