How much calendar time have the individual lessons taken? those are from the time I start the lesson, to the time I submit my homework How much calendar time has the course taken? it’s just from the time I started the course, until now since it’s still ongoing What I’m hoping to see, visually, and get answers to are: I did an hour-long working session on 9/8/18, and a 3-hour working session on 9/12/18. I met with the instructor for an hour (a working session), and did a 2 hour session to complete the homework later that day. So for example, on 9/18/17 I started lesson 1. working sessions to complete the lessons.I’ve been taking a go-at-your-own-pace course, and want to see how it’s been going. So to boil it down, what meaningful work have I accomplished over previous timeframes, and what meaningful work am I planning to do over upcoming timeframes?įirst I’m trying to put in some historical data.

I’m more interested in what meaningful work I’ve accomplished over the last week / month / quarter / year. It has a “completed” perspective, but that’s pretty much a big bucket of every task I’ve finished. “mow lawn” wouldn’t be useful to me here)Īdditionally, OmniFocus isn’t good at showing me what I’ve done. It’s really about the stuff that matters to me, rather than the details of daily living (e.g. What projects will I work on this week / month / quarter / year?.Are my areas of focus / responsibilities balanced?.Am I fulfilling my responsibilities in the various roles I have?.Am I investing enough time and energy in my areas of focus?.My biggest challenge right now is seeing “the big picture” – which I can’t see at all in OmniFocus, and which I can kinda make happen in Tinderbox but don’t really like to. I use Tinderbox and OmniFocus all the time. Here are two messages I sent to Peter re: SheetPlanner I’m curious to know what that looks like for you. I’m experimenting with SP as a way of doing the high level planning for projects I run - then I use OmniFocus for my own task management and Omniplan (or Merlin) for the formal project planning and management In my own personal ecosystem, it’s closer to Curio than anything else. SP is a much more friendly environment for the early stage thinking than any of the others I’ve mentioned. I’m experimenting with SP as a way of doing the high level planning for projects I run - then I use OmniFocus for my own task management and Omniplan (or Merlin) for the formal project planning and management. It’s more in the line of a Personal Information manager (remember those?). SheetPlanner is (among other things) a structured task management tool - it’ll do you a timeline (Gantt chart) based on how you’ve put your tasks together but it does a multitude of other things that OmniPlan doesn’t do. The Gantt chart it produces is simply a representation of what might be complex underlying information about all the above factors. OmniPlan is a pure project management app - it handles schedules, dependencies, resources and costs and is overkill for most task planning.

It looks kinda like OmniPlan (which I haven’t used).
