OmniFocus comes with a system wide service that allows you to select content in any application and send it to OmniFocus when you choose the Services sub-menu > OmniFocus: Send to Inbox. I'll give it a half point for number 2 as well, since the task is created at the time of writing the email. Overall, it's a good option, but it only fully meets 1 of my criteria (number 1). Last, the Maildrop feature only copies the content of the email and adds it as a note to the task, rather than linking back to the original email.

There will be manual work required to massage this task into its final form. The due date is especially important as I always want to follow up on the email within a set time frame. I would prefer that it be assigned to the correct project, as well as be assigned a context and a due date. The issue with this option is all on the OmniFocus side. Last, thanks to the OmniSync service, it’s a task that exists on all your devices.īut it's not a perfect solution. The result is a task that is created straight to your inbox in OmniFocus, so there's not necessarily any remaining work to be done with the task. It is easy to use you can simply BCC your Maildrop address when creating the email. Simply send any email to your assigned Maildrop email address and a new task is created in your OmniFocus inbox. Managed by the great OmniSync service, it works very well. This service from the OmniGroup was intended as an improvement over the clippings functionality in OmniFocus. That is my criteria, not the tallest of orders. bonus points would be awarded to a solution that included a link back to the original email.

to initiate the full creation of this reminder at the time I was writing the email having to switch applications or do more work to the email after sending was not my ideal solution.a reminder of some kind whether it was a visual indicator in Mail.app, a due task in OmniFocus, or a reminder with a due date in Reminders app did not matter.Each potential solution is lacking at least one aspect of my ideal solution. Sadly, although I consider this a fairly straight forward problem to solve, it proved more difficult than I had thought. OmniFocus clippings via the Clip-o-tron 3000.Here are the various options I've considered: Since I use OmniFocus and Mail.app, that's where I focused my research.

This will not be an exhaustive list I'm a Mac user, so the options are (almost) endless. This lack of a more automated approach bit me in the butt recently, so I set out to improve my workflow. Down the road, I will need to check up on that person and currently I depend on my brain to remember this (huge opportunity for failure!) or to catch it when I do a review of all my projects. I email them, asking for information or for work to be done. I have a task or project that is my responsibility, but depends on others to do some work. But when things get crazy, or if I'm not careful, some important task falls through the cracks of my system. It's a little thing and is no bother most of the time. There has been a gap in how I manage my work for a long time.
