Thanks
for the detailed explanation of how you're doing this. Completely works for me (in my mind--haven't tried it yet!), for the same reasons you point out. True contexts are few a far between and the...

I am not alone!
Man, this was a breath of fresh air to read!
I keep pulling away from OF, and veering back. I've grown very fond of Workflowy's simple, fast tags, which I've been using for Today, This Week, This...

Sure, I can see the logic of keeping a list outside of your work list. But one of my examples actually is a work list: articles to write.

Is a LIST of context or a project?
I know there's always an argument for each side, but how would you classify a list of similar items: a list of books to read, a list of articles to write, a list of places to visit...?

This is the one thing that keeps me from using OF. I want to be able to run through the tasks and flag certain task to do NOW.

Easier way to set flags?
On the iphone, I wish there were a way to run down the list of tasks and quickly switch the flag on or off.
The only way I can see to do it is to open each task individually, toggle the flag,...

Since you seem to know the basics of the SuperFocus system, I won't try to convert you here, but just show you how I have it set up. I'm about 75% satisfied with this, but I feel that OF (or...
