*What do I do about stuff that I want to disappear from view (e.g. because they are on my GTD 'Waiting' or GTD 'Someday-Maybe' list?* *Do I need to add advanced filters for every single view that says:* * Context does not contain @Waiting AND* * Context does not contain @Someday-Maybe* First, think about whether you want tasks from each context to be permanently, always hidden or whether there is some event or condition that releases them. "Someday" is an example of a context where tasks just don't become active, you want this context permanently hidden. I believe that there are a few ways to do this, the one I like best is to mark the context always closed. - hit F8 to bring up the Manage Context display - select the context that you want to hide - select the Hours tab in the panel on the right - click the Always Closed button - click "close" in the lower right My <Waiting context is for future tasks - I ordered some equipment that should arrive by Wednesday. On Thursday MLO will remind me and if it's not here I will follow up. In this case, I dont want to hide everything under <waiting, just the ones that are not yet due. So I set a start date for each task and those with future start dates hide themselves. Some tasks have a context tied to a location and remain inactive until my phone detects that I'm at the location I have about a dozen issues waiting for a decision from Paul. I have a task for each, and each task is dependent on a task called "see Paul". - Seeing Paul is on my task list but the unresolved issues are not. Before I go to see Paul I complete the "see Paul" task and all my issues appear in the to do list. BTW if I leave Paul with issues still unresolved I just uncomplete the "see paul" task and the issues re-hide. But for any context where you would even consider coding an exclusion into every view, I would recommend making it a closed context. -Dwight -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
