The “Today” perspective you’re showing in that screenshot is a custom perspective; perhaps it’s one you created it in OmniFocus 1 at some point in the past? Or perhaps you opened a shared perspective file? (Opening a perspective file will add it to your synced database.) In any case, the reason it shows tasks from tomorrow is because the “Due or Flagged” setting is actually short for “Due Soon or Flagged”, where “Due Soon” means whatever you’ve configured it to mean in OmniFocus’ Date & Time Preferences. This Due Soon period defaults to 2 days, but you can change it to mean 24 hours—which I’m afraid still includes tasks due the next morning. There is a feature request in our database suggesting we offer the option for “Due Soon” to mean “Due Today”, which seems like a reasonable request to me.
Has a web clipper, syncs to your calendar, can forward emails to it, has a calendar view that shows your events as well as tasks, robust reminders, tags, smart lists, etc. I use it to manage my university course work as well as personal life: it is well priced and rock solid.
Oh man I’m snuggling with this too. I just got Omnifocus for the Mac (trial Pro) and already have the iOS (Pro) version and trying to figure out a way to only show Todays taks so I can go through them throughout the day. The option is only Due Soon and this cn only be set to 24 hours, but 24 Hours bleeds in to the next day and that to me is very confusing and I must say counter productive is the whole point of GTD is to get things done with clarity and focus. I have played around with flags, with start dates, with due dates etc, but none will do what’s needed with just showing just Today’s tasks and only Today’s taks. Well, the trick with OmniFocus is that how to best do this is entirely dependent upon the workflow you want to use. The “Today” extension in OS X and iOS can be set to show only tasks that are “Due Today” and/or “Deferred to Today” with other options for showing tasks that are Overdue. That might do what you want, depending on how you use dates on your tasks.
Feature Request: Use Calendar Week As Defer/due Date 2016
This roughly mirrors what you would see in “Forecast” view within the OmniFocus app itself. Personally, I prefer to use a custom perspective, but this is tailored to my own workflow, which involves defer dates and flags, rather than due dates. I generally avoid giving something a hard due date unless it actually carries important consequences (usually external deadlines), as otherwise there’s an artificial sense of urgency with everything coming due when it may not actually be a priority. For example, if I have a task that reminds me to clean up my desk, it might be something I want to get to today, but it’s not going to be the end of the world if it slips until later in the day, or tomorrow. On the other hand, if a client needs a report on their desk by 3:00, that’s going to have a “hard landscape” due date.
So with that in mind, I use a custom perspective called “Hotlist” that includes the following settings:. Group Actions by: Ungrouped. Sort Actions by: Due. Filter by Status: Due or Flagged. Filter by Availability: Available I then use a combination of flags and defer dates to build my “today” list. Keep in mind that weekly and daily reviews are a critical part of OmniFocus, although in my case my biggest focus is on the weekly review – basically planning my upcoming week.
I usually only go through a daily review when I don’t already have enough on my plate for a given day. So, during my weekly review, I go through my projects and take anything that needs to be done, and give it a flag. If I’m not going to do it today (Monday, in my case), I’ll also add a defer date for later in the week so that it stays invisible until that day. If it’s something I know I’m not going to get to this week, I just leave it for next week’s review. If it’s something that has a fixed date farther off, I’ll flag it and apply that as the defer date. So in other words, my weekly review goes something like this for each task:. Am I going to do it today?.
Am I going to do it later this week? Flag it and set a defer date. Is there a deadline on it? Set a Due Date.
If so, am I going to start working on it more than 24 hours before the deadline? Flag it as well. Is it something with a fixed start date in the future? Set that defer date, flag it. Is it something with a fixed due date in the future? Set that as a due date. Is it something I’m not going to get to this week?
Leave it alone for next week’s review Repeating tasks are also part of this process, but they don’t normally form part of the review. They’re flagged with a defer date so that after they’re done, they just come back up the next time they’re relevant, whether it’s daily, weekly, monthly, or on some other cycle. Again, this method works for me, after several years of refinement and reading and participating in tips and discussions in here. It may not work for you at all, or it may spark a few ideas as to how you can do things with perspectives, flags, and defer/due dates, so take whatever you can from it:) I should note that I do also work in a few other perspectives, but they’re generally purpose-specific. Household chores, for example, rarely get flags or due dates, as most of them are “when I have time” type of things, however they’re also repeating in most cases, so they get defer dates. I can then check my “Household” perspective when I have time to take care of a few of these things and see what’s there waiting for me.
If something is important on that list, I’ll flag it to bring it into my Hotlist (e.g. Cleaning up because company is coming), but otherwise they tend to live outside of that.
I also take a similar approach to errands Unless it’s something important, it doesn’t get flagged, as it’s more of a list of “things to do the next time I’m out.”.
I want to share my start date setup, because I think its pretty useful and I haven't found a better way yet. But first, I want to clarify what I mean by 'Start Date'. Start dates have been a pretty common feature request among Todoist users, but there's also a ton of confusion about what is meant when people are talking about them. For this setup, start date means that a task is not available to act on until a certain date. It doesn't necessarily mean the day you will actually start doing the task, it is simply the day that it becomes 'visible' on your lists.
Those of you that have used Omnifocus will know this is the same thing as 'Deferred Date'. Its sole purpose is to hide the task from your view until its actually actionable. If you are questioning why this is useful, think about repeating tasks like 'Change the furnace filter'. I want to roughly change the filter every 3 months, but once I do it, I don't want to see that task again for another 3 months. For me, I would want that task on my 'Quick Chores' list, but only when it needs to be done. Without start dates, I would check it off and it would stay on my 'Quick Chores' list, but with a new due date, even though I really shouldn't be doing it for another 3 months.
This might not bother some folks, but I want my lists to be only what is actionable right now. I don't want to see that task every time I go to my chores list and have to think 'oh yeah i just did that a few weeks ago, i'll just ignore it for now'. I have a lot of tasks like this. I realize I could just hide these off on a list I don't look at, and only do them when they pop into my 'Today' view, but that would clutter my 'Today' view up with noise from tasks that I don't REALLY need to do today. Enough justification, here is how I set up this ability in Todoist. Some of you may find this setup overly complex but the complexity is mostly in the filters, not in the process or creation of tasks, so I consider it actually simple and low maintenance. I encourage you to try it for yourself for a while.
To start, I put any task that is not actionable until a future date in a list called 'Deferred'. I do not look at this list. This is what keeps it off my actual actionable lists like 'Quick Chores'. I assign these tasks a due date. The date I assign is an actual deadline / due date, it is not a fake start date. Looks good but I prefer to use my due dates for when I must do something so something like changing a filter wouldn't get a due date in my system. I'd instead either put a 3 month event/Reminder in my tickler calendar, or set up an ifttt to create the task when I want it.
For instance, I want to make sure I get the games with gold on xbox every start and middle of the month but I don't want to see the task until the games are available. I set up 2 ifttt tasks. One puts a task in my list on the 1st of every month with a due date in 2 weeks. The other does the same but on the 15th. Works great and no clutter.
