OmniFocus project templates on iOS

Nice little hack worked out in the OmniFocus forums and summarised by Robert Agcaoili.

To Create A Project Template

  1. Create project for template purposes
  2. Put project “On Hold”. Project is now a template.

The iOS Workaround For Copying A Template

  1. Set template to repeat everyday.
  2. To duplicate, change project from “On Hold” to “Complete”.
  3. New copy of that Project will appear.
  4. Change original template back to “On Hold” and remove the repeat from both the template and the new active project.

More on TextExpander and OmniFocus

David Sparks, a man of many trades and fellow blogger, picked up on my recent screencast about combining TextExpander and OmniFocus, and posted one himself. He definitely has some time-saving snippets for OmniFocus on the Mac, which he also made available for download in his original post.

In his post he also covers the use of iOS text shortcuts for similar applicaton in OmniFocus for iPhone and iPad. Something I haven’t got to use yet, but if David uses it, I better should as well.

Quick Entry for OmniFocus on iPad & iPhone

Great post in the OmniFocus forums about creating a better and faster capturing workflow for OmniFocus on iOS (works for iPad and iPhone). It makes use of the OmniFocus URL scheme, which triggers the Quick Entry when you add enter ‘omnifocus:///add’ into Mobile Safari.

Adding in some magic by iShortCuts and you’ll have a one-click-to-capture experience straight from your iPad’s/iPhone’s home screen.

iPad, iThoughtsHD, iAWriter and iCloud: A relationship made in heaven and kept together by Markdown.

This is a great setup for writers, bloggers and people working on concept since you can mind map and structure things in iThoughtsHD, export it as Markdown straight into iA Writer (on your iPad or Mac) and develop the details.

Seems I need to move from Mindjet iPad back to iThoughts to make this great workflow work for me.
