OmniFocus in Notion is simply a task that has the
OmniFocus in Notion is simply a task that has the Estimated Time field set to !@projSetting the field to OmniFocus in Notion that this task isn't a simple task, but it's a Project that will have tasks assigned to it.
!@proj tells OmniFocus in Notion that this task isn't a simple task, but it's a Project that will have tasks assigned to it.While you can make a Project by setting the
Estimated Time field to !@proj, I go to the [🅿️ Projects] view, and click the blue [+ New] button.This initializes a new Task with the respective fields filled out.
(It's one less thing you have to remember 😉 )
I use the 💠. emoji to denote a
Project. This is a personal choice, you don't have to follow it. But it makes things easier.(Hint, on Mac
control+cmd+space opens up the emoji selector. It's super easy!)2. Creating the Project View
Click the View dropdown underneath the OmniFocus in Notion header.
