In addition to the project and context views, OmniFocus also offers pre-defined views from the home screen for all tasks which are coming due soon, overdue, or flagged. Numeric values are also shown beside groups which contain tasks for either category, with overdue tasks taking precedence. Overdue tasks are highlighted in red, while tasks coming due soon are highlighted in orange. These attachments will not only be available for viewing on your device, but also synchronize as attachments to OmniFocus on your computer. You can also insert audio recordings or pictures from the iPhone’s built-in camera into any new or existing task. Project, context and start and due date information can be entered on this screen as well, but it is not necessary-tasks with no project or context go into the “Inbox” for later review either on the device or in the OmniFocus desktop application.
OmniFocus permits quick and efficient task entry right from the device, allowing a quick task-entry window to be opened with a single tap and then the task info to be filled in directly. For example, you might place a task such as “Take out the garbage” within a project named “Clean House” and a context named “At Home.” Instead, your tasks are either viewed as part of your larger projects, or they are viewed within contexts where you can actually perform them. As a result, there are few places within OmniFocus where you will see any kind of “flat” task list. In a nutshell, the GTD method involves dividing your task list into “projects” and “contexts.” Projects define multi-task goals which individual tasks move forward, while contexts define situations and locations in which you can perform those tasks.
