Hi w, First question: Why tag a task with itself?
Furthermore, I NEVER tag a high-level item (e.g. a project) with its subitems (e.g. tasks). I would strongly recommend that you tag your tasks with the corresponding project, not the other way around! Also, whether a task is finished or open is independent form it's name. Therefore, you should have two more tags indicating a task- status: "todo" and "done". In tbGTD [1] I went so far as to prefix certain tags for easier recognition. Thus, there are #todo, #done, #waiting, etc... with # indicating that these are task-status-tags. Likewise I would have $active or $future or $completed as project- status-tags. Finally, other than you knowing about it, I fail to see how exactly you are modeling task-dependencies. As for that I would simply tag a task with another task and thus have the latter depend on the former ...just like high level items ((sub-)projects) depend on subitems (tasks). What do you mean with "the sequence of tasks is always the same"? I prefer to think in stages and thus have tasks not only tag to a project but also to a "stage", such that one might only get from one stage to another if the previous stage had been completed, think "milestones". So, a stage 1 task for project A might be equivalent to a stage 1 task of project B, but they're not called the same as that would violate TiddlyWiki's unique naming conventions. Therefore, have them tag to a stage of a unique name and you know what point in the project you're at. Eventually you might want a table for project xyz to look like this... |open tasks|done tasks|h |open tasks for stage 1 of project xyz|done tasks for stage 1 of project xyz| |open tasks for stage 2 of project xyz|done tasks for stage 2 of project xyz| |etc...|p.p...| No offense, but unless you're no longer in a design stage of your task management you might want to consider designing it from scratch. Eventually, (especially x-tab of) tbGTD may really be of help to you (see toolbar or help documentation). Cheers and good luck, Tobias.
