I wanted to brainstorm about making the mGTD system even more useful.
So here's my problem:
I have three kinds of projects or tasks:
Things that I'm actively working on
Things that are urgent, but have to wait until my active ones are done
("pending?")
Things that I should do someday or maybe not at all.
You can probably see where I'm going with this. mGTD only has two of
these categories. If the pending stuff is made active, then it's hard
to focus on next actions when there are 50 of them instead of 3 to 5.
If the pending stuff is in the S/M (someday/maybe) list, then it gets
lost, and when I do have space in the active list, I have to browse
through many more items to find the best candidates to make active.
I find I have this problem on both the action level and the project
level.
For now I am using the stars to flag the more important items, but I
have to say I don't like it. What I really want is "next and waiting
actions", which I keep onscreen at all times to show all next and
pending stuff, and I only want to see the S/M stuff during my weekly
review.
For stuff that I have absolutely no chance of working on today (today
for actions, this week for projects), I don't want to see it in my
active list, but I hate banishing it to S/M where its really going to
get lost in the crowd.
While I don't want to break the purity of the David Allen concept, I
honestly feel that this is missing from his idea too.
How hard would it be to add a third attribute? Obviously the hardest
part would be changing the view tiddlers, but I hereby volunteer to
help. Does anyone know how/whether other GTD tools handle this?
Any other ideas?
