Re: Inventive use of realms .. what are you doing
Thanks for that Jason. Some food for thought there. I've looked at the 'queued and pending' additions in the past and really liked the sound of them. I'm always a bit nervous of adding too many things that may break the whole system when it comes to an upgrade of something. Is there any chance that we could get the queued and pending additions built in to mGSD, but they need 'switching on' if you want to use them? So, the default fild would be the way it if now, but tick a toggle box and you get the extra functionality. If it was built in I'd be less afraid of it breaking. D On Jun 16, 9:20 pm, Jason C caputo...@gmail.com wrote: I have come up with a system that I find satisfying. I want my system to: 1. Highlight critical/time sensitive issues above all else. 2. If there are no critical tasks, allow me to work on whatever I am most inspired to work at that moment. If it is something I had not worked on for a while, I want to be able to pick up as quickly and efficiently as possible. Miller's law is the underlying theory for how I organize my realms, areas and projects: the number of objects an average human can hold in working memory is 7 ± 2. I shoot for groups of 5-7, which gives me room to grow to the max of 9. Currently I have 3 realms. Each realm has from 5 to 8 areas. Each area has 2 to 5 Active projects. I have a total of 36 active projects currently. I also have about that many future and queued (see below) projects. To help keep the active projects manageable I added another state to Project status called Queued using the tweak found on Tiddlywiki.com FAQ under customization. When I do monthly reviews or whenever I have too many projects in each area, the top 7-9 projects in each area remain active while the rest go into Queued or Someday/Future if I really have no intention of working on in the next 3-6 months. I use mGSD for all my tasks except my day job tasks. I have 3 realms. Each is a different level of importance: Household is the most critical, followed Music (I am self-employed part time as a musician) and lastly, Fun. To keep next actions manageable I altered my Do Work lists to group and move starred tasks to the top. I try to have only 5 starred actions per Realm at any time. I also added a pending status to Next Waiting etc, again to help my prioritize my actions so I am only dealing with groups of 5-9. at a time. So when I start up mGSD, I click only the Household realm and scan for starred items, which could financial, having a good marriage, being a great dad, etc. When those are scanned I then click on the Music tab. In this way I can easily judge which starred items need my attention the most. Hope this is remotely helpful. Makes more sense in my head I think. Works fabulously though.

Re: Another call for 'Realm' improvements.
MultiTagEditor works great to select all of the projects I want to change realm of, as I name all of my projects with a kind of area prefix. So, I can quickly (compared to any other method) delete one realm's tag from a set of project tiddlers and add a different realm tag to the same set of project tiddlers. I can then use 'Mis-Matched Realms' to find all of the tiddlers within those projects. This bit is much more time consuming, but I'll get there in the end. Any chance of a fix to the bug (Project realms and action realms being different) in the foreseeable future? I'd hate to spend hours changing all of these tags, and then noticed that it's fixed in an update in the not too distant future.

Starred items dashboard
Hello all, How could I make a 'Starred Items Dashboard'? Basically, a cross between 'Starred items' and 'Action Dashboard' which would show Starred action in their contexts. Maybe even show the starred projects listed by realm? (But forget the last bit if that makes it harder. Any ideas?

Re: Another call for 'Realm' improvements.
Definitely a good tip. I was a committed D3 user and converted my entire file over to mGTD. That's why my realms are in the state they are. I add my new entries using the correct realms, but the older ones obviously all have the default realm.

Someone else mentioned that to me a while ago, but I couldn't find any information at all about how to use it. Nor could I find out if it was any more sophisticated than simply replacing the tags of all tiddlers with tag X to tag Y (which search and replace would do for me in no time).

Re: Project/Task
I'd be interested to see peoples solutions. I've added a Back Burner Realm and intended to put lots of projects into there, but I have not yet found a way to change the realm of LOTS of projects and theirs actions, so I hacve not been able to implement it.

The hardest part of all this was to come up with appropriate names, and I'm still not totally thrilled, but I think the functionality is good. It wasn't too difficult to update my favorite views, and I also created a new dashboard view which works well for me.

mGTD: Thoughts from a long time d3 user
[A few of my thoughts and some feature requests at the end] Hello all, I looked at mGTD years ago and decided that D3 was more suited to me. I really didn't get on with mgtd's dashboard and slow entry method and found d3 very configurable/hackable. I recently re-thought my gtd methodology, due to being snowed under by index cards that I never get around to entering into the system, and looked at various option again. Tried Thinking Rock, but that didn't feel any good to me. Then took another look at mGTD to see how it had changed. I found myself much more at home with it than I had done previously and was impressed (rather than frustrated as I was years ago) with the lay out. Then I stumbled across the 'Quck Add' button. That feature looked to be a total deal clincher to me so I transferred my d3 information into mGTD (with the help of http://www.estamos.de/blog/2008/09/05/getting-things-done-gtd-migration-from-d-cubed-to-monkeygtd/) and tried it out. I have not used it extensively since then (Christmas and family time etc), but it's looking very good so far. The quick add feature is incredible. d3 was great for adding actions to projects, but being able to add many projects at once is fantastic. My plan for this is to create a simple text file and amend it through the day (maybe using Launchy to make the process even smoother). At the end of every day, I can simply cut and paste that text file into quick add. That's just so good! One question I have is with next actions. In d3, only the fist action was the next action. When that action was finished, the following action was the new next action. This could be changed manually so that you could tag other actions as 'floating', enabling them too to be active, but the default was for one at a time. That seemed to be much more gtd than all of the actions being active at once unless you manually toggle them, or am I missing something? It seems like to get what d3 does in terms of automatically creating your next action would take lots of activating and deactivating actions in mgtd. Another part of mgtd that I liked was 'areas' as I had built this into d3 myself and all of my area tags kept working fine (with a bit of work) after moving them over to mgtd. I did it slightly differently on my system in that I tag a project with multiple areas. For example Home: Buy new bed may be tagged with 'home', 'finances' and 'family' (bad example, but you get the idea). Most of my projects have between 2 and 4 area tags. This work fine in mgtd, although it would be handy to be able to click on multiple areas within a project rather than having to click on one and add the rest manually by editing. I love the simple way that projects can be moved between 'Active' and 'Someday/Maybe' at the click of a button within the projects dashboard. That's going to be great for weekly reviews. At the moment, I'm not using the 'realm' feature, but I really like it. I just want to give it all a bit more thought before I start re- tagging 500 projects so that I don't change my mind about the realms half way through. That's about it for my aimless thoughts. Congratulations to the developers and I'm enjoying finding out about the new functions I have available to me. I still have a fondness for d3 and my hacks of it, but I'm happy with mGTD at the moment (hasn't had heavy use yet though). Thanks again. A few feature requests are listed below if anyone is interested. Cheers Damian Requests - Is it possible to make the default tag for a new project added by Quick Add to be Someday/Maybe rather than Active? This could maybe be a toggleable option to switch on and off? Personally, I want most of my newly entered projects to be 'Someday' and changed over to 'active' only on a weekly review - In quick add, could 'Space' separate tags rather than | (after the first |)? This is the way that d3 handles adding actions. It's no big problem. It would just speed up entry. eg .call dad|@calls @home @quick rather than .call dad|@calls|@home| @quick - Tag abbreviations within quick add? Would it be possible to manually set up some abbreviations for tags? Such as 'sm' instead of typing Someday/Maybe, or 'ff' instead of typing [[Friends and Family]], or '$' instead of Finances. - Could quick add have a method to add notes into projects? eg Scratch bum|Personal .find index finger|@home|@office _Easier when not seated .scratch when ready|@home in the above example, the '_' prefix would tell quick add to add the line as notes within the project. No idea if that is possible or not. - Can a project have more than one area selectable? Multiple area tags work fine, but currently need to be manually added as you can only pick one from a drop down list. If they were all visible and toggleable (as contexts are within actions) then multiple areas could be applied much more easily. - Quick add within a project. Can quick add be done within a project as d3 does? I know that you can do it by typing
