I'm using the star for that too. Just to highlight the hot tasks. I tend not to use +1/+7 because I like to keep all actionables on hand to quickly review them since priorities tend to shift all the time (for me). @mathew, I've tried the urgent/important priories for a while (covey quadrants) using tags, but it did not work for me. The tags did work, but it seems to me that I was more busy managing the priorities than working :-) Stars for me are easier to use. > > I think of DnD re-ordering of lists not as a way to hack Tracks into an > evil non-GTD abomination, but just as the quickest way of juggling what > I've decided to work on.

Fortunately there are several good contributors, but not consistently. Like Eric, I tend to focus my attention to my itches[1]/interests[2]. Like the Dependencies I hope someone will tackle DnD reordening. There are partial patches hanging around on github btw... Reinier [1] My personal biggest its is an inbox manager. I tend to lose a lot of time to process forwarded email to tracks into projects and contexts. Am I alone on this or are more people interested in an inbox manager?
