I use Future Actions to hide actions that cannot be started now.

Then, > using the FV algorithm (which can be seen here: > http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs004/1100358239599/archive/1109511856508.html), I think that using Last Modified Date violates the FV rules somewhat. It takes discipline to not banish high resistance tasks to the bottom of the list and never start them. A more correct sort-method would be Created Date, but then there's no re-add function. > I go down and 'dot' the actions I want to make a chain using the > starred feature.

I agree with all of this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GTD TiddlyWiki" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
