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

"My goal is to have All-Things-Nicky that are moving parts on the Nicky list, so that when I have a face to face or I'm on the phone, it's right there in front of me, in one place." Isn't this accomplisehd when you add each one of those Things-Nicky to your @agenda-Nicky list? If not, I don't understand the whole discussion. If yes, why not add the same thing to your waiting for? I'll try to describe an example of what I mean... Let's say you lend Nicky a book called "A kinky lifestyle decision". So what do you do? You create a kGTD-item called 'Nicky has my book "A kinky lifestyle decision"' or something in that fashion. You make that a waitingfor item. Than you add another item to your @agenda-Nicky list. Name this 'book "A kinky lifestyle decision"' or something along this way. Question: how does that not solve your problem? » POSTED IN:
