Today we learn from Maggie Delano, an Associate Professor and Chair of Engineering at Swarthmore College whose work spans teaching, department leadership, medical device design, inclusive engineering, research, and everyday life. Maggie shares how OmniFocus helps them move from a scattered sense of tasks and responsibilities into a durable system built around projects, areas of responsibility, and intentional planning.
Listeners will hear how Maggie adapted ideas from Tiago Forte’s PARA method, why they use OmniFocus alongside other tools, and how they decide what belongs in a task manager versus a notes system. Along the way, they offer thoughtful advice on productivity that goes deeper than “just use this app,” by examining whether the root challenge is technical, psychological, or external.
