The Omni Show: How Trevor Foley Uses OmniFocus

The Omni Show: How Trevor Foley Uses OmniFocus



What if the most productive thing you could do right now is stop reorganizing your to-do list? Today, we sit down with Trevor Foley: a 20-year operations veteran whose career stretches from physically mounting movie ads for Sony Pictures in the late ’90s to producing custom ad experiences at Hulu in its earliest days.

Trevor walks us through how reading Getting Things Done led him to OmniFocus back in 2008 and completely changed the way he works (and rests). You’ll hear his “hub and spoke” philosophy for making OmniFocus your decision-making layer (not your to-do list). Plus, his surprisingly practical family calendar system that’s kept his household in sync for over 15 years without a single “who’s picking up the kids” text.

He also drops real talk on what he calls “productive procrastination” (that seductive trap of endlessly redesigning your system instead of actually doing the work). Whether you’re new to GTD or a seasoned OmniFocus user looking for a gut-check, this one’s packed with hard-won wisdom you can put to use today.
