It makes my workflow and weekly review a lot of smoother and less clumsy.įWIW, I go the other way (Kanban -> OF) using Curio … This gives me a very clear insight to all my projects and a very good overview what I have to do now and also which projects are in the pipeline for further actions. I use the keyword “ #important” for this within the project note.Ī more detailed guide for the configuration can be found here: when one project is hanging because of another project or external input (waiting for).Īdditionally each project can be marked with a red flag to show me which are the most important projects to focus on. The project note is automatically read by my script configuration and then displayed in the correct position.Īll projects which are paused are dimmed within the Kanban board e.g. “ #pending” to “ #active” and pausing or activating the relevant projects. I do this by changing the project note from e.g. I have made 5 columns where I can see my “backburner”, “pending”, “next”, “active” and “completed” projects.Įach week in my weekly review I look at the Kanban board and choose 3-5 projects for my active column. The Kanban board can be configured by yourself according to your needs. It extracts all projects from the OF database and displays it in a Kanban board. I have found a very useful script from Jan-Yves Ruzicka named Omniboard. But when there are several folders and subfolders filled with projects another strategy is necessary. Within a single folder you can set the priority of the projects by rearranging the projects. The reason for this is that I have a lot of paused projects and the folder view for projects is just a limited help in OF. You will see the Someday/Maybe actions at least once a week when you visit the Review perspective every day.įor me it was also a bit difficult to see the big picture (folder and project level) in OF. If you continuously defer a task into the future, it’s not an active task. This is one way of doing away with continuously deferring a task. I will only work on tasks that are inside the Action projects. The Home Actions project, Work Actions project, and Family Actions project will have all available tasks. The tasks in the Someday/Maybe projects are hidden because they have the “On Hold” status. I can look at my “Available Actions” perspective to see all available actions. I can put all of these single one-off actions into the Actions project. In my case, I move it back to a project labelled Actions.Īll of these Action projects have their project status set to Active. Then you can consider whether to move these tasks back to an active project. When you visit the review perspective, you will see these Someday/Maybe projects. You will no longer need to defer it to a future date. Park your tasks into Someday/Maybe project. I have a Someday/Maybe project in each folder. Instead of continuously deferring tasks to a future date, consider creating a Someday/Maybe project with the project status set to “On Hold”
