    Hi Meg. Once again, an amazing video. I've been using GTD and OF for over a decade and, as time passes, I naturally make it more complex. Rearranging everything in a simpler manner makes it so much easier to work. Your videos were my trigger to simplify it once more. The only part I still don't get it is how you effectively use OF as a reference tool. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience.

      That's great you are doing another round of making OF more simple. I continue to do this when I find I too have made OF more complex than I need it to be. :) For me OF is for my current reference and Evernote is more for archive reference I want to keep. I clean up my OF reference folders 2x a year, more or less, to make sure it is current. Frankly, I don't keep much reference in OF as for work we keep our reference in google docs, as others need access to this information.

      I see this a lot with my clients. I have to be so honest with myself with due dates and to keep them to hard external due dates vs. "I'd like to get it done by. " due dates. :).

    I'd love to see daily and recurring tasks. Do you have repeating tasks in your tickler?

    • @TheZemackdaddy
      @TheZemackdaddy 7 місяців тому

      I mean Moore of how you handle daily and weekly recurring things without using defer dates, for example.

    • @megedwards5136

      @@TheZemackdaddy - Thank you for your question. At this time, I do not need to track any daily or weekly recurring tasks, either personally or professionally. I do need to track monthly tasks and that is in my tickler. Some of those actions are monthly recurring actions like start the generator but I find I want the flexibility of deciding given the weather what day would be best at the beginning of every month and then I schedule the time in my calendar. What I found in the past is I grew numb to recurring tasks as I was being reminded when I really didn't want to see it at that time. Once I did track some daily tasks and I just created it in the word doc and printed it out as I wanted it on paper vs. in OF. What I always do is ask myself, what is this and how would I best like to be reminded to do this action and be reminded in a way that I would snooze, ignore it or just go numb to it. But again this is the way I do it and you may have recurring tasks that would benefit from using defer dates in OF and their other great features.

    quick question, why not use OF4 new version?? ( whit the new preserve hierarchy in forecast, that allow to use forecast tag+defer date for schedule all project and use due date as deadline?)

      Hi, I will be moving to OF4 at some point and will give their new features a try.
