#Using ithoughtsx with omnifocus mac
Seeing my files and folders on my desk and opening up my app an hour before the appointment helps me to prepare for this morning's work.I know mind mapping isn’t for everybody, but if it’s for you, I’d like to remind you that Marked 2 works with some of the major Mac mind mapping apps, bringing mind mapping, markdown, and writing together for some amazing workflows. Get everything set by preparing the tools needed to get into the mindset. All because I didn't set a plan or an appointment to get s**t done. When the day is gone, I'm kicking myself for wasting the day away.
If I have no plan and just "go with whatever I feel like doing" and I'll end up spending time wandering around for 30 minutes on YouTube/Instagram/Netflix until I feel like actually doing something. Plan ahead and it's amazing what you'll get done.
Open up my writing ideas list, prepare a cup of coffee, lock the door, turn off notifications, and get ready.
When my phone dings me 15 minutes before the Tuesday 8 am appointment/time block, I'm going to prepare everything to get some writing done. I can schedule every Tuesday morning from 8 am to 10 am as my writing mindset. If I know my doctor's appointment is on Tuesday at 8 am, I prepare my mindset for that. I honor that appointment as if it was a doctor's appointment. I intend to cut the grass today from 6 am to 8:30 am. I create a time block or appointment in my calendar. Usually, I'll title the task itself with the preferred platform for that contact (FB Mark re: shipment #1234, EM Sarah re: price quote #5678).ĭo I feel like doing braindead work and scan some paper invoices I feel like writing I feel the urge to work on that advertising flyer for the Father's Day ad insert to expand. I have different - when I want to do writing in - when I'm scouring the internet (blog posts, ScreenCasts, YouTube videos, etc.) to gather material for - when I'm doing things like clearing my inboxes in email, Drafts, DEVONthink, Ulysses and organizing them, or mind mapping in - when I'm gathering all of my paper invoices I received and need to scan them and organize in - when I'm in the Kindle app or the Apple Books - when I'm doing work in Affinity Publisher or Adobe - when I'm dealing with people in my social media platforms (Facebook, email, WhatsApp, Instagram). Instead of the device, look at my mindset:ĭo I feel like doing braindead work and scan some paper invoices I feel like writing I feel the urge to work on that advertising flyer for the Father's Day ad insert of using a context for each app, I turn towards "thinking" modes. This is what helped me break down my insanely long "Computer" context. These are all contexts that can be done "on my computer" but involve different thinking modes for me.
