@If Context
GOD | Feb 19 2006
One of the problems I have is coordinating a particular action in one place so that I can complete it in another. For instance, grabbing a book from the office that is ready to be returned to the library as I go out to get coffee on the other side of campus. Another similar example is that I meant to give something to a friend of mine, have had it in my pocket for several days now, but forgot to give it to him when I saw him today -- even though we spent a few hours together, eating and talking. I thought about tackling this with dated tasks, which would certainly help in the situation with my friend, but it wouldn't help in the first example. So I think I'm going to try using @If contexts. An example would be, @If - Going past library, then grab book to take back. Or, @If - You see Mark, give him that thing. Thoughts? 18 Comments

I also have a kind of @Errand context list but I add a little memory technique to it as well. Say that I put 10 bucks in my pocket to be sure I have it when I meet my friend. That is the first task so I actually have it availible when I meet him as we have no scheduled apointment to meet so I can return the 10 bucks which also could be away of doing it. » POSTED IN:
