I’ve created a Stalled perspective showing all project without next actions. When I want to define next action in such a project though, it immediately disappears from that Perspective (sort of logical, as it’s no longer stalled) but also I can’t name / make the next action. So I’m left with remembering those projects and find them in the normal Project hierarchy again to add next actions. What am I missing here? Is there a way to prevent the perspective from auto-updating e.g. until I press CMD-K?
I do it like this: When in “Stalled”, I press “Alt-Cmd-R” and this brings me to the marked project in project view. There, I add next actions and plan the project and then I return to the “Stalled” Perspective.
I also included a variation on this perspective in Custom Perspectives for OmniFocus on Learn OmniFocus:
On a related note, I have an OmniFocus action in my “System Maintenance” single action list that repeats daily and prompts me to check for stalled projects. I included a link to the “Projects: Stalled” perspective for convenience.
