So MLO doesn't have a natural way of marking tasks as "waiting for" or "next action" like in GTD, so I wondered what people used. Some possibilities:
1. What the software seems to want you to do is use "Active Actions" as a substitute for Next Action, but they're not the same thing, and that doesn't give you an option for Waiting For. 2. You could use folders for Next Action and Waiting For, but that's difficult because you'd have to move the whole project or split it up. 3. You could use contexts, which is what I've been trying, though they're not technically contexts. 4. You could use text tags and then search for those text tags. 5. You could use flags. 6. You could repurpose some other attribute of tasks. 7. You could use project status - "In Progress" for NA and "Suspended" for WF. But that only works at project level. Of course, there's nothing stopping you from making everything a project so you can use project status. Other thoughts? How do you handle Waiting For and Next Action? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
