Hello friends, Recently we've got a request to introduce a shortcut to move items to the first/last position on the current level of hierarchy: https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/15758854-shortcut-to-send-an-item-at-the-top-of-the-current And this bring me to a thought to use the current shortcut (Ctrl+Home/Ctrl+End) for this purpose. But with an extension - if an item is already on the top position on the current hierarchy level, Ctrl+Home would move item one level up (and put it at the beginning of this level). This will break the current behaviour (moving item to the beginning of the list), but probably will make this shortcut more useful. What do you think? https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/15758854-shortcut-to-send-an-item-at-the-top-of-the-current
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.
