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

 Everything in one place in EntourageSubmitted by JMTee on October 19, 2006 - 11:17pm.
Not your software, Nick, I know, but still... I have all NA?s as Tasks. I?ve set up Entourage?s categories as contexts (@CALLS, @COMPUTER, @WORK, @WAITING FOR and so on). Normally I just choose the category (predefined custom view) to see all my @CALLS for example. But the trick I?m using is to precede all possible NA?s with the name of the person it concerns. See the below list for clarifying on this. This way, when I?m in a face to face (or over the phone) meeting with someone I just look at ALL the tasks sorted alphabetically, and see all Nicky related NA?s in one place regardless of the context. ... So all things related to Nicky in one place, but, alas, not with your software configuration, sorry, but wouldn?t similar approach be possible in OO and kGTD, too? » POSTED IN:
