Re: GTD process question: Daily todo lists
Hello, At some point in the past, I realized that 95% of my next actions were attached to the context '@work'. I did try to split that in several contexts like '@computer:online', '@computer:offline' and '@office' to account for the fact that I sometimes work from office, from home (both with internet access) and sometimes while commuting without internet access. However this was not enough to reduce the amount of next actions in '@computer:online' (still in the 85% range). Therefore I decided to experiment the multiple-context capabilities of mGTD, and to throw in a few more contexts which are not location based, in parallel of the ones listed above. I tried using for example a '@criticalPath' for actions which will delay other people's work if I do not respect my deadlines, a '@today' (that I daily updated) to mark items I wanted to do during the day (thus making a daily to-do list...), etc... In the end, what I did was having two sets of contexts, one for 'priorities' and the other one for 'physical location', and I used the intersection of the two to reduce the number of actions I have to choose from each day. I also tried when applicable to reduce the number of next actions per project to 1, only keeping as active the one with the highest 'priority', and moving the others to 'future', even if it was possible to do them immediately. I do not know if such ideas will be compatible with your environment, but what is great is that both GTD and MonkeyGTD give you a very broad capacity to experiment :) Best regards, Frederic On 28 nov, 03:21, John Holden j...@holdencrew.com wrote: You can think about using/referring to the 'Completed Projects' and 'Done Actions' lists/ticklers to track what you have done for your boss. This will list things by date and you can review it as part of your Weekly Review. It is 'very GTD' to do a thorough weekly review and I think it makes a big difference. With regard to daily ToDo lists, part of the GTD dogma is do what works for you! If you want to discipline yourself and commit to getting a discrete number of things done - come hell or high water - you can write them in your calendar/diary, allocating them a time as appointments. These tasks are going to take time, so there's nothing wrong in committing to 'an appointment with yourself' to complete next actions. If you're getting lost with context-based next action lists, perhaps you should review your contexts and challenge whether they actually work for you? Are they relevant to how your work/life is structured? My At Office list gets very long and out-of-control, as does my At Computer. This is because my computer is at the office (!) and the risk is that everything gets added to one of these lists. At the moment I am focusing on getting the lists done, rather than worrying about how they should be organised! Maybe you need fewer contexts? Maybe more? Probably different. Worth a think about why you get lost quickly. Good luck John On 28 Nov 2009, at 00:11, Jeff wrote: I'm back at mgtd after trying text files for a while.

Is it contrary to GTD dogma to use daily todo lists? When I use context-based next action lists, I get lost very quickly. -- Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups GTD TiddlyWiki group.

Re: mGTD: List all done actions which are not in a project
Hello,
I assume you are using MonkeyGTD?
I believe that there are some standard dashboards showing what you
need (like 'Action Dashboard by Project', in the 'Done actions'
section), but you can also create a simple tiddler with the following
code:
mgtdList title:'Done Actions without projects' startTag:Action
tags:'Done' view:DoneAction mode:global
where:tiddler.getByIndex('Project').length==0
Best regards,
Frederic

Hello all,
I made the mistake the other day of deleting lots of projects by just
deleting their tiddler rather than clicking the delete project button.
Is there any way to list all of done actions which are not in a
project? I don't want to delete all done actions as I sometimes like
to keep track of what has been done in a project by looking at the
done actions.
Hope someone can help out
Thanks
Damian

Re: Chrome saving problem
Hello,
Local save using the TiddlySaver applet does work for me here, with
Java 1.6.0_16-b01 and Chrome 3.0.195.27.
A few things that you may check:
1. When you open your TiddlyWiki file, if you press shift-escape, you
should see Chrome's task manager. Is there a line reading Plug-in:
Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U16? If not, it seems that Chrome was not able
to load a Java VM in a plugin. Reinstalling Chrome might solve this.
2. Assuming that you work under MS Windows, when you open your
TiddlyWiki file, do you have a small Java icon in your system tray?
If so, try right-clicking it, then pick the open console option. You
will get a small text windows were Java will trace errors. Try saving
your TiddlyWiki in Chrome. Is there an error message (exception, in
Java-lingo) shown in the console windows? If so, it might give
precious info on what is going on. That's how I realized that I could
not save because my TiddlyWiki file was in a directory with special
characters in its path ('e' with acute accent... not that special
actually in Europe...)
I hope this will allow you to get a rough idea of what is going on.
Best regards,
Frederic

Same here - I want to use MonkeyGTD with fast Chrome.
But it doesn't save.
It appear to save online (upload) but the changes aren't saved - so I can
work with Chrome neither online nor offline.

forgot to say :
it used to work - for a week or so
only in the past 2 day something broke apparently.
I have tried with a clean version but no improvement.
I have tried with Iron instead (maybe some night built in chrome would

I updated the .java.policy to allow read,write
still no sucess

Hi all,
I am using monkeyGTD on a local file system only.
I have put the TiddlySaver.jar in the same folder.
Launched with --enable-file-cookies
I still get message:
It's not possible to save change changes. Possible reason include:
- Your browser doesnt support saving(...)
- The pathname contain illegal character
- The TiddlyWiki HTML File has been remove
I don't manage to solve to the problem.
Any idea.
thanks.
