I think this is mostly a demonstration of how you can slice & dice your tasks any way you want. For example, you could zoom in on your "Work" AoF in the outline or you could filter by the "@Work" context. But there could also be some cases in which you zoom in and filter--for example, if you're planning on going to the football game with Tom from work, but you also interact with a lot of people at work. Zooming in on the "Work" AoF will filter out the football game, and filtering by the ":) Tom" context will filter out all the other people you need to talk to, so you now just have a list of work tasks to review with Tom. Now, getting back to my @@HardwareStore, @Lowes, and @AceHardware contexts from my previous post... I have a HardwareStore folder that automatically assigns the @@Errands, @@HardwareStore, @Lowes, and @AceHardware contexts. Under that, I have AceHardware and Lowes folders. The AceHardware folder that assigns @@Errands, @@HardwareStore, and @AceHardware. The Lowes folder assigns @@Errands, @@HardwareStore, and @AceHardware. Now if I'm at AceHardware, I can set @AceHardware as the active context and select the "Active by Context" view on my Android phone, and any task that was added to the HardwareStore or AceHardware folder will show up. Similarly, if I set @@Errands, it will show me all the stuff I need to pick up at various stores, along with whatever other errands I need to run. I also used the desktop version of MLO to set the "open hours" for various stores, so if I'm out running errands and Ace is closed, the things that specifically need to be done at Ace (like using that $5 AceRewards coupon or buying more paint for the living room) won't show up. The Android app can show you tasks within a certain GPS radius, which seems like it would really be handy if you're out running errands and want to do things nearby. I haven't used that feature much, but I've played with it. Hope this helps... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
