Glad to hear that the posts have been helpful. And yes, the notes and folder scripts are for use with Omni Outliner. You can obtain the scripts along with directions for installation and use at Curt’s website.

John: I have been looking forward to the additional chapters of this series of posts ever since I discovered it after purchasing OF a couple of months ago. As I told you in a previous reply, you have really helped me get a substantial leg-up with this program by your very erudite posts. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and thoughts on how to use OF.

I am wondering about the notes and folder scripts. Are they for using with Omni Outliner or are they contained within OF? And do you have a source for them, if possible. Thanks, John.

Thanks for your kind comments Damon. The reason I use flagged and 5m duration (just another flag for me) is that I try not to put tasks into the hard landscape unless they must be done by a specific date, so I have more tasks without due dates, but which are important to get done this week (flagged) and from that flagged list I choose tasks that I want to get done today (5m duration). BTW, I did let Ken know offline that I had completed the series. Thanks again for reading, John.

John, this has been an excellent series of articles, thanks! Have you posted them to the OmniGroup forums, or let Ken Case know about them?

Like you, I have many perspectives set up. I have an urgent perspective that shows just actions with due dates that are overdue or due within the next couple of days. I see you have an urgent perspective too but with the use of flagged actions. I have a separate perspective called Important for actions that don’t have due dates but are important for me to complete when I have time. It works well without having to use flags for urgent items.
