That is seriously odd, just seeing the icon my iPhone home screen. But then I’m also beta testing OmniOutliner which is coming to the iPhone for the first time ever. It is weirdly freaky seeing such a familiar feature in an unfamiliar place. I’ve said this before and lamented it before and scratched my head before, but no longer.

Previously, Review was a feature of the Mac and iPad versions of OmniFocus but not the iPhone one. The one I was expecting was that when this comes out in the next few days or weeks, we will finally be able to do a Review on the iPhone. Not because I’ve signed anything, not because of spoilers, but because it is a bit mean of me when you can’t get the new version yet.īut I’ve been waiting for one feature in this beta and was taken by surprise by another one. Today the Omni Group released a new beta of OmniFocus and I shouldn’t talk about it. Oh, the pleasure I get from great software: it’s immeasurable and terribly surprising.

We finally get OmniFocus’s reviews feature on iPhone. That means we get features that were previously only on the iPad. That was good, I used that thousands upon thousands of times, but now that’s gone and instead we get the iPad edition turned universal. Of these four apps, only OmniFocus was already on the iPhone – but it was there in an iPhone-only edition. I don’t have to tell you that having OmniFocus on my iPhone is superb. And I can tell you that having OmniOutliner available on my iPhone has been a huge boon. I’ve not been on the beta tests for either of these but I have for the other two Omni Group apps are that coming to iPhone very soon. That’s still true even if, like me, your iPhone is the older, smaller type, an iPhone 5. Just go get them from your Purchases section in the App Store. What’s nicer still, though, is that if you already have these apps for iPad, you’ve now got them for your iPhone.

That’s obviously good: even the bigger screen of the iPhone 6 Plus is not as handy as an iPad or Mac but you always have your phone with you so the usefulness is high. Now that the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have big screens, the Omni Group has been moving their apps to the phone. Previously… there was a Mac version and an iPad one but no iPhone. Dwarfing them all, though, is that the two can now also run on iPhone.

But he has other advice that I’m less precious or prejudiced against, so do read the full piece. I like that he’s clear about what it does, I’m not keen on the certainty behind it. Laying these out on your desk or on a wall will give you a visual overview of your work that you can rearrange.Ĩ Essential Lessons in Creative Discipline – Bryan Collins, Fast Company (11 June 2015)

For larger projects, write your outline on index cards. If you’re writing a book, write an outline for each chapter using headings and bullet points. Each section should contain three to five bullet points corresponding to a point you want to make. For example, if you’re writing a blog post, break it into five or six sections and an introduction and a conclusion. Outlines help you see if your plot makes sense, if your arguments stand up, or if your blog post is going in the right direction.īefore you start your next writing project, take five minutes to create a writing outline. They help you say what you want to say, before you’ve figured out what it’s going to sound like or you’ve wasted time and energy writing about the wrong things. Outlines are the tool of fast and productive writers. Because exploring on the page, writing something to see where it goes and being willing to throw it away afterwards is still what I believe to be right for me. I’m pretty much as addicted to OmniOutliner as I am to its sister app OmniFocus but I use it with care, I use it with wariness. I do use outlines on certain jobs – I’m contractually required to often enough and there are times when it is definitely a quick route to a goal, just not necessarily the best one. I like a huge amount of the piece but its thing about must, must, must outline is making me twitch. Fast Company has a good feature on creative discipline, this business of creating things in the haphazard crazy way we do but simultaneously being focused and actually finishing things.
