Hello friends! I'd like to ask for your opinion regarding multi-line text editing. This suggestion comes from one of our Russian-speaking customers Dolina Zamkova so here is a translated abstract of our email conversation. Current problem: When you write multi-line text, you must press 'Shift-Enter' first, then use 'Enter' to start a new line, then 'Ctrl-Enter' to submit the text. Wouldn't it be easier to have a setting that will allow using Enter to always write multi-line texts, and always submit on 'Ctrl-Enter', like you do it in text messengers? So we could add a new account-wide setting, on the Settings page: () Finish editing by pressing 'Ctrl-Enter' (convenient for multi-line text) What do you think? Do you write multi-line texts in Checkvist at all? Other thoughts of how we could make it better? :)
Hello Edo, I'm not very familiar with GTD, but tagging could work the way you describe it. An alternative could be marking such list items for 'ASAP' due, thus you'll have a list of such steps on the Due page.
ReplyDeleteBut tags can work as well, given that you can perform local/global search on a tag.
Best,
Yes, using a "Next" tag and then accessing it from the tag list is indeed an option - as ling as the tag has a URL that shows results collected from all my lists. In that way, it would be indeed similar to a list of "starred" items in some apps.
ReplyDeleteOne comment though - dating a task as ASAP signifies urgency - while the very reason behind the concept of "next" or "starred" is to avoid urgency by collecting the tasks that matter, and attracting attention to them, BEFORE they have deteriorated to "ASAP". From this point of view, my ideal state in life could be defined as an empty list of "ASAP" tasks. :)
Edo Amin Elan i use the action and next tags in my daily reviews in the evenings. I set the "tomorrow" date on the next actions I am going to focus on the next day for each project in each context. Then I work off of the agenda view during the day to keep me focused on those tasks.
ReplyDeleteRe: using the #next tag - it works, kinda. But there are a few things that you can't do with it. 1. When I click the tag to view tasks based on it, I can't act on a task (e.g., using "dd" or "tt"). I have to actually click it to get to it in its non-tagged location and act on it there, then return to my tag review (via a mouse click, again). Is this intended? I would like tasks to be tag-able and date-able wherever they show. 2. You do not get notifications sent to you daily. So really, the definition for what constitutes a "due" task which has popped up here is far from an abstract issue.
