- Due date (or Tickler Date, which isn't quite the same). - What project it belongs to (or subproject, or subsub...) - Its overall priority as a ToDo.
Ecco notepads, and the Tickler section, allow me to do these things pretty well. Also, using the outlining feature, I can easily make a simple ToDo turn into a task with subitems, then into a full-fledged project, and decide in an ad-hoc way whether the tickler section will continue to show the original item, or have the "emergent" ToDos show up there, with the Projects notepad holding the entire project context.
Moral: don't try to figure out the "one true way" to do this. Give me plenty of rope, then offer some easy-to-use templates (styles) to get me started with. (There's a couple of GTD templates that have become popular with the Ecco crowd.)
-- Don Dwiggins [EMAIL PROTECTED] "It is change, continuing
change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society
today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking
into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will
be. . . . This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our
businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of
thinking. -- Isaac Asimov (1920-1992)
