Re: Project/Task

2009-03-09 Thread Damian

I'd be interested to see peoples solutions. I've added a "Back Burner"
Realm and intended to put lots of projects into there, but I have not
yet found a way to change the realm of LOTS of projects and theirs
actions, so I hacve not been able to implement it.

Re: action dependencies

2009-03-09 Thread jdunham

I think this is a common problem.

Check out these other threads for two different approaches:
http://groups.google.com/group/GTD-TiddlyWiki/browse_thread/thread/923a998109fbdf0f?hl=en
http://groups.google.com/group/GTD-TiddlyWiki/browse_thread/thread/bd1d4179a211ae06?hl=en

If you're looking for something totally simple, you should make sure
you know how to link tiddlers (use double square brackets [[My
Tiddler]] if there are spaces, otherwise just type it).  For each task
that is dependent, you can just put "this task has to wait for [[My
Tiddler]]" in the Content area of that dependent Action.
