Introduction

OmniFocus is personal task management software based on David Allen’s book Getting Things Done. If you have used notepads, daily planners, PDAs (i.e. Palm Pilot), etc. in the past then this is the next evolution of personal task management for you.

Getting Started

1. Read the book “Getting Things Done” by David Allen.

3. Download a copy of OmniFocus to test and then buy it.
