I have to disagree with you on this. The apps I mentioned have a dedicated database field for action status. This is a completely different way of working - which I contend is much more effective (hence this thread!). i.e. If you want a task to be changed to the action status of SomedayMaybe, then you just change it directly to that status and BANG it disappears from the Active view and appears on the SomedayMaybe view. In both the apps (GTDNext and Nirvana) it's clever enough so that if you can move an entire project *and all its actions* in this trivial way too. [Fwiw, irritatingly GTDNext does not have a Soon/Later action status but Nirvana does.] Moreover on both apps if you add a task to a project that is as SomedayMaybe project, the system is clever enough to make the new task inherit that SomedayMaybe status. And on both the apps I mention, you can move the entire project into being Active at a single click. There is no need to mess about creating Start Dates, Dependencies, Project sequences, nor moving tasks around hierarchies etc. J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
