With this combo any ideas or scraps of info I have go into a notation doc and then I can pull them up wherever I am.

They want to be efficient and use OmniFocus and then use it when it's not the most efficient way to store items. As always optimal workflow is a work in progress.</p> I’m not really sure why I didn’t do this before but I think the idea of ‘capture everything’ gets way out of hand with lots of people.

From my experience too, if your list gets longer than 10 items of things you need to do (like the list of DVDs you want to rip), it's easier to store that list somewhere else (in your case a text file, in my case Evernote note) and make a task in Omnifocus with a link to the text file / Evernote note.</p> <p>The task can be something like "Rip DVDs 19/200" and you update the external file with what you've done.</p> I think that’s a great approach.

The task can be something like “Rip DVDs 19/200″ and you update the external file with what you’ve done.
