Let me get this straight. I come up with a technique that is generic enough to be useful for the Covey/ABC 123ers, the GTD followers, the Autofocus guys and the group of people that don’t use any of those and only want to be able to differentiate between the tasks they are working on and the list of things they still need to do. And that is forgetting to mention that it also works for the Eisenhower Method guys…
And your response to me is that my idea is not generic enough for MLO? And to be honest, I really don't want to get into an argument concerning GTD reviews or how batching the GTD collection process makes GTD a closed list not an open list methodology like it is so often described. That wasn't my intention. All I wanted to do is present to Andrey my idea on how to implement a manual and sorted task list. And yes that it is a way to implement something similar to what Richard wrote. So, I just think we are going to have to agree to disagree on the other stuff.
