Thanks for the icons! I love them! Now I have icons for writing, phone, house, computer, and errands. You can have more than positions 0-3 by the way! I'm using up to 4: position 0 - tells me if it's a folder or an active action position 1 - notes position 2 - location, tells me if it's errands (little car icon), computer, or home position 3 - tools, tells me if I need a phone or to do some writing (pen and paper icon) position 4 - reminder On 2/15/2021 7:28 AM, Stéph wrote: > & is a hashtag for me, for searching or filtering my outline for roles. > (Why use & as a tag - just because "& here's another thing I do"). This cracked me up - thanks! I use @ for location (errands, computer, home), ! for status (waiting for, next action, daily task), and no symbol for the role, just a short name for it.
