How are you using the Perspectives?
I just discovered how to use the Perspectives feature in OmniFocus and I was wondering how everyone else was using it.
Here are the Perspectives that I have set up.
_Today_ - Items that are due today or overdue.
*View Mode*
Context
*Focus*
No Focus
*Filter*
Remaining
*Grouping*
Due
*Sorting*
Project
*Action Filter*
Next Action
*Time Filter*
Any Duration
_Flagged_ - Items that are flagged. Just a simple filter that shows me things that are flagged.
*Flag Filter*
Flagged
_ 15m or Less_ - Another simple filter that shows me why I can do when I only have 15 min to work on something.
*Time Filter*
15 min
Any way I would love to see how others are using this feature, so post your Perspectives filters here.

Inappropriate?I'm very very lightweight right now. Along the lines of:
Work - All
Work - Flagged
Personal - All
Personal - Flagged
This is my current "force myself to try a different approach" experiment, and a shift away from the "many perspectives approach" I was using before. -
Inappropriate?I use 2 perspectives most frequently..
"TODO Available" (in project view, available actions sorted by due date)
"TODO by Context" (available actions sorted by context)
The ninja move here is to save the perspective with the sidebar hidden. I like these perspectives because they hide distractions! -
Inappropriate?I use perspectives to filter-out next actions that may be distracting or out of place. For examples, when I am seated at my desk working (for clients), I use the project management application for work tasks. SO I use Omnifocus perspectives to filter out any chores and errands from my view so that I can concentrate on work-related items (call client X, shred papers, archive letters - stuff that is not a project task but relevant to work).
As such, I use them almost like contexts, but a little differently
