From the course: Post-Production Productivity
What you need to know
- As excited as you probably are right now about becoming a true productivity ninja, there's something that I want to make sure to point out to you before you jump too deep into the course. Specifically in chapter four, Getting Things Done or GTD for Editors, I do an extensive overview of how to use the program, OmniFocus, for your GTD workflow. As you can see right now, I am in OmniFocus version three. When I was demonstrating how to use OmniFocus in those lessons, I was using OmniFocus version two, and they have done an extensive rewrite and redesign of their program. Form an interface standpoint, it will look relatively the same. Some of the colors will be different, a few of the settings might be different. Fundamentally, it's the same program, but there's one major change that I need to make you aware of, and that is that you see right here, these are tags in version three. When I was doing the videos in version two, these were called contexts. If I click on tags, you can see I have all of these various tags here. Those are contexts in the videos that you see as it was in version two. The other fundamental change is that in the previous versions, OmniFocus would only allow you to assign one individual context to a task, which I may mention in the lessons. Understand in the new version, thankfully, they've decided to change the way the program works. You can now assign an unlimited number of tags to your various tasks. Other than that, everything else that you're going to learn in the OmniFocus lessons will relatively be the same. I just wanted to make sure you were aware that contexts have now become tags.
