Hi, John. Yes, Daniel's approach is great. The best thing about MLO is that there are usually several equally valid ways to do anything, and you can pick the one that feels the most comfortable. Btw, to address two questions you asked Daniel, you can easily hide your Someday tasks from your to-do lists by marking the Someday context hours to be Always Closed and ensuring that your to-do views exclude closed contexts. And you can easily make a Someday view by starting with Active Tasks by Context, changing the context filter to *include* closed contexts, and zooming in on the Someday context, then saving the view.
This approach isn't comfortsble to me because once I put a task into Someday I don't want to see it or think about it for at least six months. I do weekly reviews by area of focus (=folder) and this approach would likely result in Someday tasks popping up for consideration during my reviews. So I would rather have them all sequestered into a folder of their own. -Dwight Mlo betazoid on Android sgn2 On Mar 11, 2015, J Smith <shiph...@gmail.com> wrote: >@Daniel >Interesting... please can you say a little more about what you actually >do. >I'm guessing you have a context called "@Someday-maybe" or >"~Someday-Maybe".
