One is called “Key Projects” with a few rapidly moving projects (manuscripts are a good example). I usually keep three TaskPaper files open and ready for quick entry. TaskPaper is great not only for finalizing manuscripts and reports. It is to quickly throw things in and then check them off before any review is due.

Within TaskPaper, any text line starting with a “ –” is a task. To capture tasks in TaskPaper, press ⇧⌘↩ (or another shortcut you define in Preferences), which brings up a little window where one or several lines can be added and quickly assigned to any of the open files and projects. It is great for managing items that need to be checked-off (often on the same day) but do not require thinking through, review and follow-up as in OmniFocus.
