Re: plain Action Status? where is non-Next Action Status?

2010-02-28 Thread AG_Brazil 
Hi Madison

I'm not an expert about GTD but I've been trying to practice for
about
last 3 months and I,ve been reading David Allen several times. I have
his Workflow Diagram stuck in my office's wall and I never heard
about this Action you're talking about. Unless you're talking about
those 2 minutes actions that you should do when Collecting. That is
not something to put on a list - just do it.
And I've been comparing MonkeyGTD (mGSD now) with many
other tools - each one I found - and that's the only one, except for
ThinkingRock, that implements GTD in a straight way.
It doesn't has potential, it's done! Maybe you should Review it.

In mGSD 'Future' was invented just to describe 'non-next' actions. So
consider future to be 'non-next'.


 2.  as described in a different gtd group (and in Allen's work):
 ..There are common Status labels/tags: Next Action, Action,
 Waiting On, Some Day and Finished
 ..if you are waiting on a response, set it to Waiting On.
 Otherwise it’s an Action.
 ..And, if it’s the highest priority thing in a project, it’s a
 Next Action.



In mGSD, Someday/Maybe is appliable to projects not actions. If you have a
someday/maybe action then you could set it to Future, or you could put it in
a project categorised as Someday/Maybe.

Finished projects are called 'Complete'. Finished actions are called 'Done'.

'Next actions' are actions categorised as Next. 'Actions' are actions
categorised as 'Future' (ie, non-next, see above).



 3, in mGSD, when I +action, only:  [check-box finished}  n .
 w  .  f,  Appear, with n=NextAction being the default.


Correct. Though you can use different [+] buttons in your dashboards to
create an action with the characteristics of the list with the [+] button.


 4. The Work/Process filters/reports also seem to just provide
 selections for Next Action(s).


This is GTD method right? But you can see waiting actions also, for instance
at 'Next and Waiting Actions'.

Process is short for 'Process Inbox'. It's where you add projects and
actions into your system.


 5.  Have I installed something wrong??  etc. What am I missing?  Is
 mGSD designed like this?

6.  I can sort of see a work-around, by using w for next action as I
 can get around waiting on; but it just seems like I am missing
 something.


I'm not sure, possibly. Does the above clear things up at all?

7.  I am reasonably GTD familiar from DA's books, paper system, and
 gtdInbox (poor functioning for 100+  projects/references.

Thanks. And thanks for the feedback.


Simon.
