The scenario would be that my fictional friend, Shirlene texts me the great news that she got engaged over the weekend. For this example I am going to use a fictional example of "Shirlene's Wedding". Now let's take all four of those key principles and use a few simple features of OmniFocus to embrace them. You don't need to capture every single action to get there, but just the very next action which goes on your list of things to do. From there, you work yourself back to the very next physical, visible action to take on that project to move along. In the Natural Planning Model you deal with all your captured commitments (Projects) by using your imagination to get to the desired outcome. The next two GTD principles are Next Action and Natural Planning Model which go together very well. When that date comes up, you un-folder that item and take whatever action that needs to be taken. This is where you take something that you don't need to take action on now, and put it in a folder for the future. The next principle is the 43 folders or "Tickler" file folder system.

In GTD you throw this on a Someday/Maybe list and review it occasionally, activating it when you want. The first concept is Someday/Maybe and that is the ability to capture something you are thinking about, but haven't fully committed to but don't want rattling around in your head all day. In GTD we have four concepts that are key to being clear and properly engaged with our life and work. One of those incredible features is using the Defer date on projects.

One of the many things I love about OmniFocus is that it can take your GTD practice to a new level, bringing core concepts into simple features.
