I agree that if something doesn't have a TRUE due date then I dont use the Due Date field.
My problem is that I wind up not using the Due Date field *at all*, because I use my (Outlook) Calendar for important/firm deadlines. I don't think I'm using MLO very effectively but here is what I do: Rather than have a GTD Waiting For list as such, instead I live mostly in the Active Tasks view and if I want the task to disappear for say 4 days I just go "Alt/S 4 D" which puts the Start date 4 days into the future. *Occasionally* I do the same thing for Someday/Maybe tasks - i.e. I put them into the future in the same way, but I am now trying to train myself to use a ".Someday" Context-tag, (which for ease of use I have set up with a Alt/Shift/S hotkey). With the use of Advanced filters, this of course causes the task to disappear off my Active Tasks tab, and appear on my Someday tab. I am also trying to train myself to actually review my stuff more often - particularly full GTD Weekly Reviews of everything actionable, as if you don't do this you can end up losing track of the big picture of your life and start to feel out of control, because you wind up doing lots of stupid little things that in hind-sight were a slight distraction. I'm not sure if that helps - just 'sharing'.... ! J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
