--- title: GTD with OmniFocus and Emoji author: George Mandis date: 2017-02-07 description: A trick that's too simple to be a tip or a hack but is somehow worth writing 100 words about. tags: post, post, gtd, tip --- This is a fairly silly tip, but I've found a semi-practical use for emoji and [OmniFocus](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/omnifocus-2/id867299399?mt=12&uo=4&at=1l3vtGD) — my favorite GTD tool. I usually have a few too many projects to juggle at any given point. My ability to manage them successfully waxes and wanes, which speaks more to my own GTD discipline, but OmniFocus has always done a good job of helping me keep things reasonably organized. Sometimes though I want certain projects to stand out from others visually. Lo and behold, emoji to the rescue! ![Emoji in OmniFocus](https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/george.mand.is/images/emoji-omnifocus.png) It's a subtle difference, but it helped me visually discern between the two concurrent winery project — 🍷🍾 — I had going on at the same time. It's also a good trick to employ for a barebones project management tool like [Basecamp](https://basecamp.com).
