I&#8217;ve been an avid user for over five years and it is central to my productivity both personally and professionally. These posts will presume you&#8217;re generally familiar with the software. If not, they may not make complete sense.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Since I use OmniFocus for nearly everything in my life, it has become chock-full of projects and tasks. As a result, it&#8217;s easy to become overwhelmed with all the tasks in an unfiltered list. To make things jump out, I&#8217;ve started using <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Emoji\">Emoji<\/a> (\u00e3\u0081\u02c6\u00e3\u201a\u201a\u00e3\u0081\u02dc) to add small pictographs to the task. The results are quite fun.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2191\" style=\"width: 609px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mike.peay.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/OF-Emoji.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2191\" class=\" wp-image-2191 \" src=\"http:\/\/mike.peay.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/OF-Emoji.png\" alt=\"Using Emoji in OmniFocus\" width=\"599\" height=\"321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mike.peay.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/OF-Emoji.png 1664w, https:\/\/mike.peay.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/OF-Emoji-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/mike.peay.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/OF-Emoji-1024x548.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2191\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Using Emoji in OmniFocus<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can click the picture to see the full size which should make them easier to make out. The cool thing is that if I&#8217;m using a device with a Retina display, they are quite discernible and let me scan a list very quickly. The only downside is that I&#8217;m limited to the ~250 symbols that exist. You&#8217;d think that&#8217;d be enough but there are a few I have to do with out; for example, is a &#8216;printer&#8217; too dated?.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the first in a series of posts about OmniFocus that I&#8217;ve been thinking about for ages.
