Re: Docs in a sorry state
Joel - I think the problem is that (in my understanding) mGSD is the work of one guy, who has full-time job doing something else, and doesn't make money from mGSD. I think the best we can hope for, short of donating enough money that he can develop this full time, is to organize users to contribute to the documentation, wiki-style. Regardless, if you've found mGSD to be a useful tool, consider donating a modest amount. On Jul 11, 11:04 am, joel the ripper dueckofe...@gmail.com wrote: Heavy user of mGSD here, love it. The practices and organization of documentation need a good deal of help though. I am using 3.1.7. The latest version mentioned on the blog is currently 3.1.6.

The main website has almost no information about mGSD. It sends me to a separate resource for documentation,http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/MonkeyGTD, which no longer exists, and to yet another site for the blog. I found out through a blog post from February 2011 that the docs have moved. So when I go to the new docs, and click on the Updating instructions, I find that they don't work (0 tiddlers to import).

Right now instead of providing the information one would expect, it sends you hunting umpteen different directions to try and glean it out of blog posts and newsgroup topics. Reformat at least the core, basic mGSD documentation into a normal, linear format and put it on the main mGSD website (tiddlers are a frustrating way to read documentation).

Re: Falling behind on accumulating actions
You could use 'depends on' this makes all the critiques except for the next one 'future actions'. Once you complete the next critique, mark it complete, and one from the future actions will become your new 'next action'.

I have what I think is a special use case, but I'm looking for ideas on how to make it easier for me, or to see how other people have solved it. Here's my scenario: I'm a member of a writing group, which requires its members to critique at least one story written by another member once a week. If you miss a week, that's okay, but you have to do two the next week to get caught up. If you miss two weeks, you have to do three to get caught up, etc. Well, I'm embarrassed to say that I'm now behind by more than ten weeks, and I'm trying to catch up. Now, for GTD, I've set up an action for each critique that I have to complete. I have a tickler set up to remind me every week to add another critique action. This means my 'Next Actions' is getting rather long, full of all of these critiques I have to do, which makes it difficult for me to see other actions (many of which have higher priority, which is one reason why I'm more than ten weeks behind). It's also getting harder for me to count how many I have left to do at a single glance. Although this is probably not a common use case for GTD, I'd like to know if anyone out there has come upon a situation like this, and how they have resolved it. I've thought about just putting a number in the name of the tiddler, or in it's notes, and then change that when I need to, but this would require more mouse clicks than just completing a task, so I'd be interested if someone has a better idea than that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups GTD TiddlyWiki group.

mGSD is designed to help you implement the Getting Things Done (GTD) system in managing your workflow. GTD de-emphasizes scheduling. Only things that are fixed in time are put on a calendar.

Re: Inventive use of realms .. what are you doing
Jason C- When you say 'areas' are you referring to what is called 'context' in mGSD? Otherwise, I don't understand what an area is. On Jun 16, 4:20 pm, Jason C caputo...@gmail.com wrote: I have come up with a system that I find satisfying. I want my system to: 1. Highlight critical/time sensitive issues above all else. 2. If there are no critical tasks, allow me to work on whatever I am most inspired to work at that moment. If it is something I had not worked on for a while, I want to be able to pick up as quickly and efficiently as possible. Miller's law is the underlying theory for how I organize my realms, areas and projects: the number of objects an average human can hold in working memory is 7 ± 2. I shoot for groups of 5-7, which gives me room to grow to the max of 9. Currently I have 3 realms. Each realm has from 5 to 8 areas. Each area has 2 to 5 Active projects. I have a total of 36 active projects currently. I also have about that many future and queued (see below) projects. To help keep the active projects manageable I added another state to Project status called Queued using the tweak found on Tiddlywiki.com FAQ under customization. When I do monthly reviews or whenever I have too many projects in each area, the top 7-9 projects in each area remain active while the rest go into Queued or Someday/Future if I really have no intention of working on in the next 3-6 months. I use mGSD for all my tasks except my day job tasks. I have 3 realms. Each is a different level of importance: Household is the most critical, followed Music (I am self-employed part time as a musician) and lastly, Fun. To keep next actions manageable I altered my Do Work lists to group and move starred tasks to the top. I try to have only 5 starred actions per Realm at any time. I also added a pending status to Next Waiting etc, again to help my prioritize my actions so I am only dealing with groups of 5-9. at a time. So when I start up mGSD, I click only the Household realm and scan for starred items, which could financial, having a good marriage, being a great dad, etc. When those are scanned I then click on the Music tab. In this way I can easily judge which starred items need my attention the most. Hope this is remotely helpful. Makes more sense in my head I think. Works fabulously though.

However this was not enough to reduce the amount of next actions in '@computer:online' (still in the 85% range). Therefore I decided to experiment the multiple-context capabilities of mGTD, and to throw in a few more contexts which are not location based, in parallel of the ones listed above. I tried using for example a '@criticalPath' for actions which will delay other people's work if I do not respect my deadlines, a '@today' (that I daily updated) to mark items I wanted to do during the day (thus making a daily to-do list...), etc... In the end, what I did was having two sets of contexts, one for 'priorities' and the other one for 'physical location', and I used the intersection of the two to reduce the number of actions I have to choose from each day. I also tried when applicable to reduce the number of next actions per project to 1, only keeping as active the one with the highest 'priority', and moving the others to 'future', even if it was possible to do them immediately.

If you're getting lost with context-based next action lists, perhaps you should review your contexts and challenge whether they actually work for you? Are they relevant to how your work/life is structured? My At Office list gets very long and out-of-control, as does my At Computer. This is because my computer is at the office (!) and the risk is that everything gets added to one of these lists. At the moment I am focusing on getting the lists done, rather than worrying about how they should be organised! Maybe you need fewer contexts? Maybe more? Probably different. Worth a think about why you get lost quickly. Good luck John On 28 Nov 2009, at 00:11, Jeff wrote: I'm back at mgtd after trying text files for a while. They're just not as pretty or cool as a TW-based app. Now I'm trying to use mgtd to also track what I have done so that I can easily produce status reports/tasklogs for my boss. Is it contrary to GTD dogma to use daily todo lists? When I use context-based next action lists, I get lost very quickly. -- Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups GTD TiddlyWiki group.

help with minor tweak
I'd like to make a minor tweak to my MGTD. For me, the flashing ticklers notification isn't prominent enough and I sometimes miss it. I'd like to make it bold and red. Can you help me do this? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups GTD TiddlyWiki group.

Re: using quick add
Okay, duh. I found it ('About quick add' linked from within the quick
add box), but I still have a question...
when I quick add:
.Mow lawn|@Home
The action is created, but with no context (should be Home). Any
hints?

tweak request
When you save changes to your locally hosted mGTD file you get the little yellow box Main TiddlyWiki file saved. I think that when you mark a task as being completed, the yellow box should disappear, because at that point you have unsaved changes. If the box remains, you are more likely to neglect saving your changes before closing your browser. --ike9898 --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups GTD TiddlyWiki group.

Personal style of using MGTD - Do you have any use for completed actions?
**Trying very hard to express self clearly** Do you ever have any reason to look at items that you've 'checked off' (finished)? The reason I ask is that sometimes I'll have a next action tiddler; in real life I'll complete the action; but then instead of checking it off I'll create my next-next action on that project by editing the tiddler for the just completed action. Example: I finished Context office; project get life insurance: Complete WAEPA application. Yadda yadda supporting notes such as address to send it to, etc After I finished it I edited it to Context home; project get life insurance: Have wife sign completed WAEPA application. Yadda yadda supporting notes such as address to send it to, etc The advantage is that it saves a little work in transferring stuff such as the yadda yadda supporting notes to a new tiddler; the (potential) disadvantage is that I lose the record of the action I have completed. So all that is to ask, do you find any value in retaining a record of your completed actions? --ike9898 --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups GTD TiddlyWiki group.

done/close
When I edit a tiddler and hit 'done/close', it exits the edit mode but does not close. I think that in effect, 'done/close' does exactly what 'done' does. I apologize if this comment is naive or redundant of others, I'm new here. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups GTD TiddlyWiki group.
