Whether you’re a writer or a student, an attorney or a software developer, outlines can help clarify and develop ideas and concepts. And the beginning of the year is a great time to take a step back from our ground-level to-do lists, to think about our plans more strategically at the 10,000-foot level. I’m doing this now myself, looking back at the past year and thinking about the year ahead, and find OmniOutliner indispensible for giving structure to those thoughts.

My love of outlines goes back to learning to write 10-minute essays as a freshman at the UW. We learned to spend the first 3-5 minutes writing our outlines (using the tools of that era, paper and pencil), then we would turn those outlines into prose. I quickly learned that those outlines were also great for putting structure to my history class notes, taking notes on one side of the page in my notebook, then returning later to rewrite those notes as an outline on the facing page.
