Waiting For's & Agenda's
Nick | Oct 16 2006
I have a question that has bugged me for quite some time. As background, please know that I use Omni/Kinkless/ICal the way Merlin hooked it up. I have about 12 contexts & agenda-calendar's in ICal that contain my GTD lists. What I don't know is how to keep my Waiting 4's associated with their original agenda. For example, if I have a meeting with John and he is supposed to get back to me re: such & who, my current methodology is to re-direct that todo from John's agenda to Waiting For. Obviously, the problem here is that, that-which-I'm-waiting for is no longer associated with John, but is now in a list of other waiting fo's. How do you, fellow posters, handle this conundrum? Thanks, Nick 13 Comments

Obviously, the problem here is that, that-which-I'm-waiting for is no longer associated with John, but is now in a list of other waiting fo's. I realised that I did this as well. I've moved an action from "@Nicky -- arrange an audit" to "W/F Nicky -- to propose a time and date for an audit" (these are on 5x3 PDA index cards, by the way). I don't see a problem. As soon as Nicky gets back to me, I'll be prompted to put the next action back onto her agenda (or, if she actually does set a time, it'll be in the calendar already). Steve » POSTED IN:
