Tutorial Description

In this video, Lee returns to OmniFocus for the first time since version 4 landed, and finds an app that has changed a great deal more than its version number suggests. The headline is Planned Dates, a third date that sits alongside Defer and Due and answers the question neither of them ever could: when you are going to sit down and do the work. Lee shows why a task with a planned date and no due date is a far more honest entry than one carrying a deadline you invented to make yourself act.

With Mutually Exclusive Tag Groups, you can stop a task being both High Focus and Low Focus, the Repeats feature can finally end after a set number of occurrences (or on a chosen date) and the Forecast perspective gains summary dots and drag to reschedule, with modifier keys to choose which date you are moving.

Lee concludes with a short dip into Omni Automation. He goes through installing a plug-in from the library, running it, and going a step further with something that makes these plug-ins do what you want rather than what their author originally intended.
