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.
Stressing out with your iPhone
I can definitely confirm the results of this study. Sometimes, unfortunately, for myself, but clearly for a lot of my colleagues and customers.
Stress was directly linked to the number of times people checked their phones on average, and people with the most extreme levels of stress were troubled by “phantom” vibrations when no message had been received, the survey showed.
Simple solutions include turning off notifications for email, text/iMessage, Twitter and IM. You can also configure your email account on your iPhone to not get messages pushed, but only polled on your explicit request. Calms you down significantly and let you be in the moment, e.g. the conversation you are having, the meeting you are in or the dinner you are enjoying with someone who is important to you.
