Feeling overwhelmed? Not as productive as you could be?
If you wish you could use OmniFocus to get organized, but you haven’t found a system that works for you, you’re in the right place.
In this video course, you’ll learn an OmniFocus workflow you can rely on.
Picture this:
Let’s make that happen for you.
“I have been trying to use OmniFocus on and off for YEARS, like maybe a decade and after your course this is the FIRST time I actually feel like I know what I’m doing. As far as I’m concerned Omni needs to bundle your videos with a pro + tutorial version because it makes it SO SO much more understandable and useful.”
“Managing 500 employees and a $40 million budget means I have a lot of projects and tasks. Thanks to Peter’s course I’m starting the week super-charged with my schedule and tasks lined up.”

I studied economics at a top liberal arts college.
After I graduated, I took a job in litigation consulting. I ran complex analyses for Fortune 500 companies getting sued for millions, if not billions of dollars.
As my career advanced and I got more responsibility, I started to feel overwhelmed. Clients were happy, but I felt miserable.
Sound familiar? A lot of people I talk to struggle with the exact same thing.
I faced so many projects and meetings and deadlines and emails. My to-do list was endless.
I tried to fix it by pushing myself and working harder, sometimes staying at the office past midnight…
Before I knew it, I was sat on the couch at home, burned out. Just cleaning my apartment was stressful.
I never returned to my job.
After I recovered, I decided there had to be a better way to handle all of the responsibilities life throws at us.
So I developed a system to stay organized. I clarified my priorities, tracked my to-dos, and sorted out my notes. With my new system, I was able to handle anything.
Soon, people noticed I was now always on top of stuff. They asked me to teach them my system. So I did.
And you can learn my system, too.
You don’t have to spend 1.5 years burned out and unable to work. You don’t have to struggle and work harder in an attempt to stop feeling so overwhelmed, like I did.
You just need a simple system that’s easy to stick with.
I’ll teach you.

Tasks at home. Projects at work. Being there for your friends and family. Staying healthy. Taking care of your finances. It’s a lot.
It’s a lot, but it’s manageable with the right system.
With the right system, you can stay on top of your email. You can consistently get around to your most important tasks. And you can meet your deadlines.
OmniFocus can be a great foundation of that system—if you set it up right. And that’s where this course comes in.
Of course, you’ll learn lots of OmniFocus-specific things too, like how dates work, how to use the various types of projects, how to use Focus Mode to concentrate on specific parts of your life, and more.
You’ll learn exactly what you need—no more and no less. I’ve designed the course to be as efficient as possible.
You could piece together information on using OmniFocus from random places all over the Internet. But how long would that take? And what is your time worth to you?
When you follow this course, you’ll learn everything you need to know to organize your life and to be productive using OmniFocus. You’ll save tons on time compared to figuring things out yourself.
Think about what you could do with the extra time. You could spend it with your kids. You could spend it learning to play the guitar. Or you could, you know, spend the time doing the actual work you want to do!
That’s what learning an OmniFocus workflow you can trust will do for you.
“I have been using OmniFocus for years and I already knew a lot of things, but Peter’s approach helped me rely on OmniFocus more than ever before. This freed me up to focus on the important tasks each day instead of guessing what to work on.”
I know how risky it can feel to invest in something new.
So I’m taking all the risk.
If, for any reason, you’re not completely satisfied, I’ll promptly refund 100% of your payment—no questions asked.
See, I want you to think, “wow, this is amazing!”
I want you to feel absolutely delighted with your investment.
Now, will some people take advantage of this guarantee? Will they go through all the course materials, get super organized, build an awesome productivity system—and still ask for their money back? Maybe. But I hope you won’t.
I’d rather take that risk myself, instead of you missing out on the results you’ve been wanting for so long.
I just want you to succeed.
That’s why you have an entire month to check out the program and implement my system.
Then, if you feel it isn’t for you—no worries, you get your money back.
When you enroll, you get immediate access to a bonus workshop.
This 1-hour workshop is the perfect complement to the course.
In the course, you’ll organize your to-dos and projects so that you’ll be super on top of your day-to-day and week-to-week responsibilities.
But we want to make sure you’re making progress on your long-term priorities, too.
That’s where the workshop, Translating Your Goals Into Action, comes in.
After you take the workshop, you’ll walk away with:
The workshop comes with a handy, step-by-step workbook, so it’s dead easy to implement the workflow.
Balancing your day-to-day tasks with long-term priorities is the key to making your dreams your reality. Let’s get to it.
“I went from 50% productivity to 1000%. I finished my 2 University courses this August with A and A+ and at the same time launched 2 new products while still maintaining my business and its current products, all in one month!”
“There’s loads of info about OmniFocus online and it is bewildering. Doing this course is an easy option. Maybe you could get a lot of the info for free but there’s no guarantee and it could take lot of time.”

If you get stuck or want to run something by me, just leave a comment on the relevant course lesson.
If you’re not happy with the course, just let me know within 30 days of your purchase and I’ll give you a full refund. No drama, no questions asked.
You might be eligible to pay in installments. At checkout, look for the option to pay with Affirm, Afterpay, or Klarna. I don’t control whether this option is available to you, unfortunately.
No, I don’t. You can, however, buy this course as part of a bundle, at a lower price than if you were to purchase the courses separately.
You’ll be up and running with this workflow in an afternoon or two.
Forever! Other sites may require you to keep a monthly subscription, but for this course, you pay once and you get lifetime access. You’ll also have access to course updates and new lessons.
This course is self-paced, so you can start it whenever you like and take as long as you need.
Absolutely. With the Teachable app, you can download the course to your iPhone or iPad and watch it even when you don’t have Internet access, like when you’re on a plane.
You won’t only learn where the buttons are in OmniFocus (though that is part of the course, too). We will go beyond that: you’ll learn a simple yet effective workflow that you can use right away to get stuff done.
(And I won’t waste your time teaching you complex customizations and automations that you don’t need.)
If you use Apple devices at home, but you use a PC at work, you can still use OmniFocus and you’ll still get a lot out of the system you’ll learn in this course.
In this case, I recommend that you bring your MacBook or your iPad to work. Simply use OmniFocus on your laptop/tablet and do the work on your PC.
On any computer, you can also use OmniFocus for the Web to manage your tasks and projects, although OmniFocus for the Web lacks certain features.
Do you have an iPhone or iPad? Then absolutely.
In prior versions of OmniFocus I recommended against it, but with version 4, OmniFocus now has really solid iPhone and iPad apps.
In the course videos, I mostly use OmniFocus on macOS, but the system/workflow is the same on all devices. If you want to use OmniFocus only on your iPhone and/or iPad, you’ll have to translate my macOS instructions to the mobile interface. That’s easy: the course includes a lesson walking you through the OmniFocus interface on iOS.
Yes. Key course concepts rely on features only available in the Pro version of OmniFocus.
Subtitles are available in all major languages. If you need them in a different language, ask me— I might be able to add them.
Yes, just email me.
“I have taken every course - all were paid courses & yearly subscriptions too. Peter’s OF program wins hands down! If you have any reservations, then watch his videos on YouTube. This is what sold me on his program.”
“Peter’s course is life-changing. He has a vision: ‘I want you to be productive, but not overwhelmed’. And it shows throughout the course that he cares.”
“Thank you so much!!! I am so excited to use OF! Your lessons were super easy to follow and you were amazing at teaching in detail but without making me feel dumb! Thank you!”
“Your course was well worth every penny. I have been using Omnifocus for years but this will transform my daily use and was hugely helpful.”
“Peter’s course was perfect for what I was looking to do! I was letting all the due dates sit and wasn’t sure what to focus on NEXT. Having a refresher was what I needed!”
“I and my wife purchased your Omnifocus tutorial. It is brilliant, thank you! I really mean it, OF is currently saving my life! I can really withstand a chronically crazy schedule and multiplicity of projects with a relative serenity. This is really something! The course is a bargain.”
“Peter’s course illustrated not just the OmniFocus Zen that I knew was there, but several other seriously impactful ways to work. Worth every penny. Exceptionally valuable.”
“I’m gaining more and more control of OmniFocus (and as a result, my days and my energy) after each lesson. In less than a week, I’m feeling more in control. And that’s after only getting through the first three sections of the course!”
“Peter’s course has put OmniFocus in a new light and for the first time I finally feel in a groove with it.”
“I have taken a few other courses on OmniFocus but Peter’s has resonated with me and has assisted me with overcoming previous challenges.”
“Peter’s course has been a sheer delight to follow and work through. I have used OF for well over 5 years now and read and studied lots about it, but Peter’s training really makes sense to me and is filling in gaps.”
“You literally will find no better way to jump start your use of OmniFocus.”
“Peter’s course brought a couple of breakthrough moments for me that were quite literally life changing. I know that sounds dramatic, but when everything you do stems from this workflow system, and someone removes a clog from your system, it really is life changing.”
“I found this to be an incredibly productive course and binged it over two days. The fact that I can actually use OmniFocus effectively after owning it since Dec 2013 is amazing.”
“I overcomplicated my previous attempts at using OmniFocus. After taking Peter’s course, everything is running smoothly and I’m back in control.”
“I recommend Peter’s course because it really helps. It’s much more than a theoretical course describing how to use OmniFocus. You learn to see opportunities for making your life easier.”
“As a long-time user of OF, I wanted to re-energize how I use OF. Peter’s course was great for that!”
“I wish all my colleagues would take Peter’s course. Everyone can learn something and my life would be a lot easier if everyone around me was as organized as I am now 😁”
“I’m massively more organised. I’d stopped using Omnifocus; it became a long list of tasks that was completely overwhelming. Peter’s course has brought organisation and structure to my life.”
“Peter’s course uncomplicated the many many features available in OmniFocus.”
“I tried OmniFocus before and did not like it because I was overwhelmed by all the features and had no clear vision of how to utilize it's features. After taking Peter’s course I love the app and have a clear path forward on how to effectively utilize it!”
OmniFocus is incredibly customizable. It’s so easy to spend hours, days, or even weeks tinkering with your setup—without ever making it work for you. So I made a cheat sheet to help you out. I’ll show you an OmniFocus setup that works for almost everyone. Start with this foundation, then customize OmniFocus to make it your own. Get the cheat sheet.
