For me this means a "Work" perspective that only shows me things I can do at work. You can save as many of these as you want, with the idea being that you can view similar tasks together. Without getting too into the details, perspectives let you set filters for what tasks you want to see in a view. OmniFocus lets me do this with perspectives. My usage: I only want to see my work tasks when I'm at work and my personal tasks when I'm at home. These tags are the main tool I use for my custom perspectives, and these perspectives are what really make OmniFocus work for me. The first 4 are pretty normal, while "shopping" is my shopping list and "reading" is my reading list, something I've addressed at length already. These 6 tags let me quickly filter my stuff into the major parts of my life. Tags, as I use them, are simply used to separate my work into the different parts of my life. I could be more detailed here, but for me I really only use tags and ignore projects almost entirely. This all adds up to an app that has enough control to let me structure my tasks well without adding friction which could discourage me from dumping all of my "stuff" into it. I'm also in love with how you can tell The Omni Group cares deeply about building top-notch iOS and macOS apps as each version of the app works extremely well. I also really like that the app gives me the ability to customize the look and feel to design the sort of task manager that I want, and hide most of the stuff I don't care about. I use OmniFocus for personal and work items, and the app has a few tools that make it much better at doing this than any other GTD app I've used (skip to "Perspectives" for details on this). Today I want to take you on a quick tour of how I use OmniFocus to get my life in order. In 2019, after finally reading Getting Things Done and having it really click with me, I don't see how I could use anything else in the near future OmniFocus is just so damn amazing. After years of bouncing between task managers, I always end up coming back to OmniFocus.
