<p>This week on The Omni Show, we welcome Jorge Arango, an information architect, trainer, plus the author of "Living in Information" and "Duly Noted." He has spent years helping people design digital systems that inspire trust and heighten clarity. In this conversation, Jorge shares how decades of experience shaping digital architecture influences the way he organizes his own work through OmniFocus.</p>

<p><br>From his early experiments with the original kGTD scripts inside OmniOutliner to becoming a day-one OmniFocus user, Jorge explains how thoughtful design helps him manage commitments, stay focused, and avoid the trap of over-optimizing. He talks about using tags as a way to create structure and context, why simplicity always outperforms complexity, and how Gall’s Law reminds us that every great system begins as a simple one that works.<BR><BR>Some other people, places, and things mentioned:
