Yesterday, Omnifocus on my iPhone indicated that 5 tasks - all red - were going to be overdue in 48 hours. The combination of color (red) and numerical indicator (5) created anxiety (a good thing). With AF 1-4, I never felt the pull to work on potential dismissed items. Even though I'm in the middle of preparing an important workshop (Learning to love: How relationships help you grow), I believe I'll find time to apply some "little and often" to those tasks. Very cool.

I had the exact same feeling (and reaction) today!

Vegheadjones:

That would mean we probably started, and avoided, tasks at the same time!

Great minds think (or procrastinate) alike!

My first outstanding tasks are not until Feb 11th, and I've already gone past Feb 6th and 7th without having to dismiss any tasks.
