Re: How to assign priority to tasks?

2012-04-20 Thread simgsd


 But since I only have a few projects each of which do have many tasks
 or to-do's -- what's the proper mGSD term for it? -- what's really
 useful would be assigning priorities to the tasks, so to-do's are
 ordered by priority and worked on within each project.  Any idea how
 this can be achieved?   Or does this idea makes sense?

 I was exactly in the same situation and did the following: 
* (created the prtiority tags as described)
* edited Tiddler TitleButtons, inserted everything between new  new

!Action
...
...
  [[MonkeyGTDTheme##Subtitle]]
 /div
new---
 div style=float:right; 
  span macro=multiToggleTag Priority allowNone:on/span
 /div
---new
 div macro=hideWhenTagged Done 
style=padding-top:0.25em;padding-bottom:0.25em;
  span macro=multiToggleTag ActionStatus longVersion:on/span
 /div

 div macro=showWhen config.mGTD.getOptChk('MultipleContexts')
  span class=labelContext:/spanbr/span class=unboldLinks 
macro=groupOfSingleToggleTags Context useCheckbox:yes/span

This gave me nice three Toggle switches to select priority for Actions in 
the upper right corner of an Action. (I did not do that for projects, but 
only use priority for actions)
* created a new tiddler named Actions (by Project), tagged with View 
excludeSearch:
{{cols2{

{{col{

tiddler 'Ticklers Requiring Action'

mgtdList title:'Next Actions (high)' startTag:Action tags:'Next  !Done 
 1-high' view:Action mode:global
group:Project
gView:bold
where:tiddler.hasActiveProject()
newButtonTags:'Action Next'


mgtdList title:'Next Actions (medium)' startTag:Action tags:'Next  
!Done  2-medium' view:Action mode:global
group:Project
gView:bold
where:tiddler.hasActiveProject()
newButtonTags:'Action Next'


mgtdList title:'Next Actions (low)' startTag:Action tags:'Next  !Done 
 3-low' view:Action mode:global
group:Project
gView:bold
where:tiddler.hasActiveProject()
newButtonTags:'Action Next'


mgtdList title:'Next Actions (no prio)' startTag:Action tags:'Next  
!Done  !1-high  !2-medium  !3-low' view:Action mode:global
group:Project
gView:bold
where:tiddler.hasActiveProject()
newButtonTags:'Action Next'


}}}

{{col{

mgtdList title:'Waiting Actions' startTag:Action tags:'[(Waiting For)]  
!Done' view:Action mode:global
group:Project
gView:bold
where:tiddler.hasActiveProject()
newButtonTags:'Action [(Waiting For)]'


mgtdList title:'Pending Actions in Active Projects' startTag:Action 
tags:'Pending  !Done' view:ActionProj mode:global
group:Project
gView:bold
where:tiddler.hasActiveProject()
newButtonTags:'Action Pending'


mgtdList title:'Future Actions' startTag:Action tags:'Future  !Done' 
view:Action mode:global
group:Project
gView:bold
where:tiddler.hasActiveProject()
newButtonTags:'Action Future'



}}}
}}}


* work-advanced-modify menu, inserted a new link to the new dashborad 
tiddler: 
[[Actions (by Project)]]

* after that, you have a nice Action Dashboard showing all actions
- grouped by priority
- and below that, grouped by Project. 

* I did the same also for by Area and by Context

Have fun!

 I probably need to study the basics of the design and philosophy of 
 GSD from some introductory material -- what's a good introduction? --
 that said, I am a little unsure why GSD doesn't like the priority concept 
 at
 the first place.

 Hi Meng Lu! 

 You are not missing anything. Since the GTD approach does not prefer 
 prioritization of tasks, mGSD accordingly does not implement 
 prioritization - initially. 

 But you can add prioritization to actions (and or projects) yourself, 
 if you really want to. Here you can find a description how to do this:

Thanks for the input.  I followed the instructions and can assign
priorities to *projects* now.

But since I only have a few projects each of which do have many tasks
or to-do's -- what's the proper mGSD term for it? -- what's really
useful would be assigning priorities to the tasks, so to-do's are
ordered by priority and worked on within each project.  Any idea how
this can be achieved?   Or does this idea makes sense?
