OmniFocus and GTD aficionado Jason Atwood returned to Learn OmniFocus LIVE to share his OmniFocus 4 setup and workflows.

Jason has a long history with productivity. He’s been practicing David Allen’s Getting Things Done (GTD) approach for 20 years and recently completed his 😮 1000th weekly review (check out his blog post on the subject to read his insights).

He’s been using OmniFocus since the beginning and has evolved his setup and workflows over the past years, developing OmniFocus into a highly trusted and efficient tool. Jason talked about the OmniFocus settings he recommends, four primary perspectives he uses to get things done, why it’s important to limit the number of active projects, how and why he performs a weekly review and more.
