Even if I do drastic changes, I can rely on git to resolve conflicts, and I am not afraid of data corruption during the synchronization between devices. It's all plain text, I don't think it can get more frictionless than this, and I can reorganize all my projects very quickly if I come up with a better way of doing things. One of the most important things is that I don't feel in a rush to learn everything straight away. I am using the org-mode's advanced features much more than what I would have expected: tables, column view, all sort of recurring tasks, generic timestamps, and so many more.
To do the same thing (and quite some more) on the Mac, I rely on org-mac-link-grabber.
I have written a couple of VBA scripts (yes, I really mean Visual Basic for Applications…) to get links to messages in Outlook, and I can finally stop having to rely on the abysmal organization features in Outlook. I have started customizing it, created my own agenda views, compiled my own version of MobileOrg (you don't need to do this, it is readily available on the App Store).
#Omnifocus outlook full#
It supports an arbitrary number of columns on any outline it's like having the full power of OmniOutliner inside OmniFocus (something I missed since Kinkless GTD).It can pretty much replace Excel for my use cases… Tables work great (including formulas) and again, it is all plain-text.It works on my iOS devices, thanks to MobileOrg.I can use it at work, Emacs runs perfectly on Windows, and I can sync my files using git.There are keyboard shortcuts for everything, you can forget the mouse.You can add links to any type of files, emails, or whatever you want.You can mix notes and TODO items, and that feels natural (with OmniFocus I did put in place several scripts while trying achieve a similar result, but ended up not using them as they got in my way).You can stick to GTD, or change it to suit your way of working (multiple contexts, more states rather than simply TODO and DONE, etc.).You don't need org-mode nor Emacs to read your data, it is human-readable and you can open it with any text editor.It works great with version control systems.
Still, I will not switch back and will continue using org-mode. By now my decision is made, I am not going to look back, although I still love OmniFocus: if you have advanced requirement for a GTD implementation, you should definitely consider it.
New: Option to expand note in QuickEntry (expandNotes).one task per message) (multiSelectMultiTask) New: Option to switch between the way multiple selected messages are handled (e.g.New: Option to switch between file attachment and direct data-directory link to reduce library size (attachMailToOFTask).This idea together with the fact that my Things-digression didn’t quite work out started a new round of refactoring of the Outlook-to-OmniFocus AppleScript … (Note: This will break if you move messages between accounts, e.g. The available solutions work around this by finding the message directly inside the Outlook data directory and linking to it. One major difference between OF & Things is the inability of Things to add file attachments. I recently tried to work with Things instead of OmniFocus, and thus trying the available AppleScripts for Things as well.
