Give It Some Time

I have been using OmniFocus for quite a few months. It has only been in the past month where I have actually started to use it properly. I had a lot of pre-conceived ideas of what I thought an app like this should be able to do. I tried another competing app in this timeframe and I can say that OmniFocus wins hands down. I went from being frustrated and upset with OmniFocus to being a very happy user once I gave it the time it needed.

I am not a very complex OmniFocus user, but I reccomend giving the short manual a read before you start using it. E-mail Omni with any questions (they are super quick and helpful) and really give this product an honest it go. It is very powerful and it is built to be as simple…or as complex as you want. I am probably somewhere in the middle.

My whole life is planned in OmniFocus now. If you are really serious about organizing your life better, don’t stop at just downloading this product. If you really want to make a change you need to make a small investment. Read the Omni Forums, read examples on how people use the product online, take a quick online course to get started. IT HELPS! Once you have put the investment in to properly learn this product, it will yeild way bigger results. This product ISN’T for people who are looking for a quick fix. If you want to change the way you organize your life and create more margin for yourself, spend 1-2 hours learning the product after you download it. It will change your life.

If you are just looking for a shiny new app and don’t want to take the time to take this seriously or if you have very simple/few tasks, there are several sub $5.00/free apps that will better serve you.
