I’m a long time user of OmniFocus but I’m not sure I understand the use case: do you often save web pages as tasks?

- dsabanin 6y agoIt's a matter of personal workflow, but I do it all the time. I try to add tasks for things that I want or need to read, including work-related stuff, like Basecamp posts that require my response, so that I actually get to them. The goal, for me, is to not get distracted by reading things when I should be doing things, so I try to postpone the reading until a more appropriate moment. However, to do that without stress, I need to be able to trust the system enough to know that I'm definitely going to get to that reading later – during a review, or earlier. I noticed that if I don't have a task for links to read, I end up either reading them right away (damn FOMO) or they disappear into a black hole, because there's just too much stuff in my head to remember everything.
