New OmniFocus Basics video

by Ethan on February 15, 2008

New to OmniFocus? Already using it but confused about the basics? We've got something for you: the new OmniFocus Basics video. In it you will witness the ancient struggle of a lone man in the wilderness as he struggles to overcome insurmountable odds. Ok, ok, not actually that. But you will witness how to manage your actions and goals. And if your goals include “overcoming insurmountable odds” or “struggling against nature” then there is drama aplenty in store for you, my friend.You can find the video in a couple formats on the OmniFocus page or jump to them directly now:

This is great, but we really need some Ninja GTD type videos. Top tips and things like that from Ethan and Merlin.

That's a great suggestion. But then I'd pay money just to have Merlin read the damn phone book.

a few comments…


first, neither of these videos will load onto my iPhone. How come?


Second, I had a prior OF video from you guys with Ethan, called a Quickstart video in M4v format. That worked great on my iPhone, so I request future videos in that format.


Third, on that video, Ethan said he would cover a variety of topics but the video ended before he got to showing how to capture tasks from a variety of applications using Clippings. I’d like to see that if it’s available. Is the rest of that movie available, was it even made?


And finally, I would strongly suggest an OmniFocus Video University type of series. Do like one video a week on different topics, like Clippings, managing contexts, using OF in conjunction with Inbox Zero, managing projects and using task management options (like sequential versus parallel), etc…


the basic stuff is great and definitely needed but then you need somewhere for people who have mastered those basics to get more proficient using the app.
