Project support material and omnifocusΒΆ

Tags: gtd

Everything in omnifocus can have a comment: projects, actions, whatever. I've used the comment field on projects for a while for writing down the outcome ("the bike is fixed"). I've since just changed my style of project naming: big long-running projects still have a generic name ("customer A"), but most of the projects have an outcome-title ("bike is fixed").

I've now started to use the comment field for reminding myself about project support material. If I've got a physical folder "bike maintenance" that I use to put ideas and whatever into regarding bike fixing, I'll put a note to that effect in the project's comment field.

After a while I tend to forget I wrote down previous ideas and stored them in that physical folder. This fixes that problem once and for all :-)
