I suppose you could easily print from Omni Outliner to PDF, thence to a PagePacker pocketmod!

maybe pocketmod could be useful for you, to print your action-lists:

You can use it to print your action-lists more sophisticated, e.g. with a weekly calendar.

I Look forward to your future posts. Cheers.

I was just discovering this site and I like it so far. Already put the PSS into NewsFire so I won’t miss anything in the future. Thanks.

Now, back to my question. I noticed you had Basecamp shots. I assume it was so ‘other developers/designers’ can share/view a To Do list.
Do you still use Basecamp in parallel with Outliner? For example, your Amigo Todos.

Yes, we still use Basecamp for our project to-dos. This allows everyone to share one list.

Annyyyways, I remember from the ‘old’ days reading the other Blog (about developing Amigo) and there were screen shots of Basecamp.

First I had TaDa, then bought Basecamp, then started using Backpack (using lists). Now I just realized that I actually own that Omni software package! I knew I had the Graffle one, but I had no idea about the Outliner, and after watching your video (again, if you just stated it, I probably would have moved on) I’m convinced to give that a shot!

Whew. I just type away and things go nuts.

I wrote a little webapp and recently made a command-line app so I can add a todo to my web-based list without skipping a beat.

I feel 8% more productive already!

I use Office Time and it’s great to be able to drag a task from Omni Outliner into the notes field of an Office Time session.

Is this the site you’re referring to?

Yup – that’s the one.

One question, is there a way to automatically populate the category column in OmniOutliner with the sub-projects of your “other” list? I haven’t yet been able to figure it out, and that sort of thing would be great.

Great question. I’m not sure, unfortunately. I’d love it if someone could figure out how to do this.

I noticed that you’re deleting the items once you are done, but what about moving them into a Done folder?

Now that is a great idea. Thanks!

Quick question Carson. When you enter items into “Other” and specify a project….do you have a script that automatically puts the project in the “Cat” column? Or are you manually entering that each time?

I have to manually choose the category.

Having seen this, though, I realize my technique is a little messy (although I like nailing stuff down to days in a calendar), so might give OmniOutliner a go to see if I can make it work :)

The one thing that’s missing that I like about Kinkless GTD is the support for contexts (ie. @work, or @home, or @phone, or @grocerystore). Seems like there must be a happy medium between the simple solution (yours) and the more complex one (Kinkless).

I guess the bottom line is that there’s never a right way for what works for everybody.

I noticed that you’re deleting the items once you are done, but what about moving them into a Done folder? The ideal would be if it noted the date the item was marked as complete, without you having to specify it. Alternatively, if there’s a sort of Trash folder where deleted items are filed, then perhaps that could function in the same way.

The reason I mention this is that it would give you a better sense of what you’re getting done each day /week.

Thanks for the tutorial!

If you got a time and inspiration, it would be nice to see a brief tutorial about how you run your development projects. But thats just a suggestion :)
