Hello Don,

They're just ideas for how you might want to organise your tasks, but I imagine 
you'll end up with a system that works for you and isn't exactly how any of 
those templates look.

As an example, my own system is a hybrid of Steven Covey's "7 habits" and 
Richard Allen's GTD (Getting Things Done). 

So, I tend to have a folder for each area of my life (personal, home, work and 
community), with a subfolder for each of my roles (in work: design engineer, 
technical lead, bidding; in home: husband, father, family, earning, home 
maintenance, etc). Under each role I'll have projects with sub-projects and 
tasks. 

I then tag tasks with contexts which fit with the GTD definitions - @calls, 
@computer, @errand, @home, @office, @site, etc.

That way I can zoom in to a particular area of my life or project. I can also 
use a flat view to organise my tasks by context and, for example, clear a group 
of calls or all my errands at the same time.

I put contact names in the task notes. That way I can use a text filter to look 
at all the things I delecated or need to discuss with Rick or Neil (for 
example) as a list together.

That's what works for me. Your system might end up being entirely different. 
The templates (along with books like the above two) may be a source of ideas or 
inspiratikn for developing your personal system. I hope it goes well.

Stéphane
