basically the same method. a folder in my outline named projects for
review, most of the items in the folder have the context @projects but not
all. the context is what it should be if the project was "active", and all
of them have the box marked to hide the branch in to do.
I guess some would bother to set up review times for these items. I don't,
I review them when I want or I am looking for work to do and if something
needs to be started I simply un hide the branch and start working adding
subtasks as necessary to get to the magical "next action" I am as faithful
to that as humanly possible as I bought into the whole I can only do the
next action thing. It took me years to come up with a tree that works for
me that supports that and this folder was the missing link
I find over time I have been making more and more use of folders and into
the folder I drop anything that has to do with the subject as a task even
though most of these "tasks" are simply notes, thoughts or ideas. I just
mark them as hide and they are there for when I need them but they do not
interfere or pollute my to do lists which are ALL context driven. Context
is the only selector I use. I have my context view set to show me the
hierarchy this way I see the original subject folder in the list as well
which triggers instant relationship to why the task is there in the first
place.
an example in my main outline I have a folder called accessory department
tasks
in that folder is a subfolder called terry and wil as they are my employees
in that department
in that subfolder are all the tasks I am holding them accountable forand
any associated notes or links are in the notes field for each one of these
tasks. all these tasks are marked with the context @agendas
so monday at my weekly review with that team I click on my tab which is set
to view by context
click on the @agendas context so ALL my active @agend items are showing
and I see an outline that looks like this
ACCESSORY DEPARTMENT TASKS - SEE FILE IN CART
TERRY AND WIL
ULICHNEY - FM U
2014 mdx headrest display unit waiting
on tom casey to put on display
hitch and bike rack on outlander sport
- spoke to bill
restock toyota accy rack
refill glass cases with trinkets and
trash in chrysler showroom
terry calling to get a trifecta
display rack for cjd showroom
NIKE CLASSIC 962-999-04-45-4000
IDENTIFY AND PLAN HOW TO MOVE - 10AM MEETING
KURT DISPLAY FOR HITCHES LOOK INTO
showroom accessory literature
now during the meeting i can discuss each task either marking it done,
adding notes, changing due dates etc
If the task requires anything rich text or images etc I use onenote and
drop a link into the note area
just some idle thoughts what works for me may not for others
