Hi, John. It's my opinion that you are using "next actions" together with "subtasks in order" where you should be using "next actions" only.
Next actions is implemented as: from each project or folder, show only the first active subtask. "First" is determined by position within the outline. If the first subtask isn't active (ie is blocked) the following subtask gets considered, and so on. I think that this is what you want. Subtasks in order adds a constraint that no subtask will be considered active if there's an uncompleted subtask in the same project or folder, higher in the outline. Even if the higher task is inactive/blocked. -Dwight Mlo betazoid on Android sgn2 On Nov 29, 2014, John Smith <[email protected]> wrote: >Hi > >I have a question about Next Actions. > >Background: >In alignment with GTD theory, and to prevent overwhelm, I generally >like >seeing only ONE Next Action (i.e. not the whole list of actions) per >Project. >For this reason I want essentially all my Projects to have "Complete >the >subtasks in order" ticked. > >Problem: >BUT if the Next Action happens to be delayed so that I have a start >date >for it in the future, then when I click on "Active Actions", suddenly >there >are NO active actions at all visible for that project. >Likewise it also disappears from the Next Actions by Project view :^( > >Is there any way around this? > >i.e. Is there any way for a project to show the Next Action that is not > >delayed?! > >J > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
