@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

With regards to linking actions, I've been playing around with Life Balance on my PC and Palm. I'm not sure if this particular method will fit into your system, but the software has a feature to set up outlines of tasks and subtasks. The beauty behind this is that the parent tasks won't show up on my action lists until the respective subtasks are completed. It really works well for those times that I don't want to keep reviewing my projects list to decide my next actions. If the next actions are predetermined and only displayed once they are able to able to be completed, it's one less step in the process. » POSTED IN:
