i also recently finished the MYN book and started thinking about that system. Have been GTD advocate for a while now. However what i came up with in my mind anyway is to simply combine the two. I cannot run my life in 3 views (now, this week, over the horizon) anymore that i can run my life with 6-8 @contexts. however i can easily and have been running my life using contexts and "horizion" type views
my @ Office context are the things i must do today, that i wouldn't go home until they are done my @ this week context are the things that i would like to do this week or next my @ projects context is for anything i want to park until it's time to act...consider it over the horizon and someday/maybe combined. my tasks are do subtasks in order where appropriate and my todo view is sorted by context. i can just look at "all" in the todo view or i can look at the category i want to look at individually. just a thought.......
