I have a need / hate relationship with OmniFocus. Not love / hate — need / hate.

Every few months, I find myself drifting away from OmniFocus and its complexity. Sometimes it's involuntary, as I try to wing it. Most recently, I tried to ease into TaskPaper for my day job duties.

Every time I drift away from OmniFocus, I turn into a forgetful mess.

  • What do I need to be doing?
  • Where did I put that task?
  • What's next?

These questions come up more and more as I use OmniFocus less and less.

Maybe some future version of me can get work done without OmniFocus. This current version just can't stay away.
