I have yet to read all of the parts of this series, but just wanted to say how much the glimpse of your desktop in the OmniFocus screencast inspired me.
I’m currently down to two folders on my desktop, “@Inbox” and “Current Projects”
Current Projects is my “Next Actions” and Review phase in one. Files are grouped into their own folder with a descriptive title —“PDFs to print out”, “Files for product demonstration”, etc.
The desktop icons are sized 96x96 to nudge me into making sure that I will not let extra icons hang out on the desktop for too long. I placed a link to @Inbox in my Finder sidebar, and redirected all of my download folder locations to @Inbox as well.
Looking forward to reading the series!
