Is there any official guidance from OmniGroup on how the Inbox is supposed to be processed? I know this question is related to the staggering number of gripes about how OF1 showed the Inbox with the project window, and I know that you can use a 2-window approach, but this is not what I’m asking.
I’m asking if there is a tutorial or something I can watch or read that describes exactly how the inbox is intended to be processed. I’m willing to change my workflow, but I can’t find any guidance on why it was designed like this in the first place. I’m assuming there’s at least a reason.
A video would be really helpful, but I can’t seem to find one that specifically deals with the Inbox processing workflow in detail.
With the idea being that you simply remember the existing projects that these might be affiliated with and use the pop-up suggestions to validate what you remember?
Yes, that’s what I do. Two or three keypresses is usually enough. I only have about 70 active projects, so there’s not that many possibilities to choose from, and it’s generally clear which outcome a given task in the inbox is intended to further, so getting to the right project isn’t a problem for me.
You might try the video and workflow described at https://inside.omnifocus.com/gtd which covers the most common way Inbox processing is done. It is a good overview and includes a video.
