Hey list,
I'm wondering if you make the distinction between projects and actionable
items. If you stop to think about it (specially if you read GTD by David
Allen), you see that you can't really "do" a project, but only actions
related to it. It's a powerful and underestimated concept. Of course, a todo
list is still a reminder of things, and any list can be useful, but the more
specific you are, the less you have to think (process) and the more you can
actually execute.
Anyway, I was wondering how you guys differentiate between projects and next
actions (todo's) in your org lists. I myself use a :project: tag for
projects and todos have todo keywords before them. Projects never have a
todo keyword, except when DONE. I used to use a PROJECT keyword before, but
I felt that a tag seems to work better (and allows you to actually filter
todos without mixing projects). So, a typical list looks like this:
* New feature :project:
** TODO Create a mockup for the index page
** TODO Convert the mockup to html
* Renew passport :project:
** DONE Call for appointment
** TODO Interveiw
SCHEDULED <...>
** DONE Buy groceries :project: ...
How do you do it?
Thanks in advance,
- Marcelo.
