Do you also have tons of tasks in your inbox, which you probably never going to do? Well, then this script has been made for you! It creates a new project where it will move all inbox tasks to. After your inbox is clear that new project is set to "dropped" and all that crap is out sight, forever.
tell application "OmniFocus"
tell default document
-- crate quarantined project for tasks to be moved to
-- name in this version is »Quarantined Inbox: YYYY-MM-DD«
-- some other versions provided below, e.g. »Mon: 23. 06. 2015«
--set quarantineDayName to do shell script "date -v +0d +'%a: %d. %m. %Y'"
--set quarantineDayName to do shell script "date -v +0d +'%d. %m. %Y'"
set quarantineDayName to do shell script "date -v +0d +'%Y-%m-%d'"
set quarantineProject to make new project with properties {name:"Quarantined Inbox: " & quarantineDayName}
log quarantineDayName
-- get inbox tasks and move to quarantine folder
set inboxTasks to inbox tasks --of default document
repeat with inboxTask in inboxTasks
--set end of oldInboxTasks to inboxTask
if completed of inboxTask is not true then
--log name of inboxTask
move inboxTask to end of tasks of quarantineProject
end if
end repeat
-- mark project as done
-- alternatively you can write »dropped« which is
-- probably more appropriate
set status of quarantineProject to dropped
end tell
end tell
