OK. Makes sense. I was preparing to say: I overlay as few collections as possible, and prefer Dashboard for the overview … but then I remembered: • Chandler Desktop can not present a calendar view of the Dashboard collection. Looking ahead: • I suspect that a solution will involve spheres. --- Looking back, to recent discussions — lists of unscheduled to-dos, tasks, stamps, notes, stars etc.: • 'task' means different things to different people, and for some Chandler users it's a source of confusion • the task stamp notion was removed from Chandler around February 2008 • a few months later we learnt of a future proposal that might lead to reinstatement of tasks. FWIW I believe that the task stamp should not be a core feature of Chandler. Instead: • the 'task concept' might be delivered as an extension to Chandler Desktop -- maybe included with a standard installation, ready to be enabled by any user who requires (or any group that agrees upon) the concept -- with a possibility that the concept may be *not* echoed in Chandler Hub. <http://groups.diigo.com/chandler/bookmark/tag/confusion> reminds me that users can misinterpret the simplest things. Amusingly I could not recognise the tag icon alongside each collection, I imagined far more exotic meanings! <http://groups.diigo.com/chandler/bookmark/tag/reality> reminds me that I used to wish for a list of all items that were not in a user-defined collection (in other words, items that were in Dashboard alone). In reality: I don't need that view. I completely forgot about it. Maybe the wish was there only after my massive imports from iCal, only for as long as I theorised ways to organise myself. Other selected highlights, mainly from blog entries: <http://groups.diigo.com/chandler/bookmark/tag/task> <http://groups.diigo.com/chandler/bookmark/tag/004250> Last but not least, <http://groups.diigo.com/chandler/bookmark/tag/manage> makes me wonder whether greater use of alarms could lead to more successful use of Chandler in your situation. There's much to think about here! For some subjects, separate topics might be in order. In any case, I sense that some of the discussions will come around to the Chandler concept of speheres.
