Me too
I totally agree. I’ve implemented a simple system in kGTD, but it still requires a fair amount of manual maintenance.
What I want is a system that just dumps items from the 43 folders into my...

Yeah, I’d second this request. If it doesn’t make it into OmniFocus 1.0, that’s fine by me, but it would be nice to see someday.
In the meantime, maybe we could hack together something basic using...

Comments on bluebaltic’s proposal
I think I understand bluebaltic’s proposal, but let me see if I have it right.
Each task, project, and sub-project may be assigned a priority independently
In the Projects view,...

Thanks!
Yay! Thanks. And will you consider having the prerequisities affect the definitions of actionable? That would totally make my day, whenever it shows up.

Task priorities
Will OmniFocus allow me to manage task priorities? kGTD sort of has them (optionally). I do like being able to create my own list of priority labels. But my one beef with kGTD is that it doesn’t sort...

Having our cake and eating it, too
Clearly, we disagree on this point, and that’s why I recommend a easily toggled setting. Then we can both get what we want!
And realistically, I could see myself wanting different options at...

Simplifying time estimates
I would be happy with a single time estimate field. It could be optional. To further simplify, it could be “bucketized” — instead of allowing any time (in minutes) to be entered, it could be a...

I think this sounds good, but I’m unclear about one thing. What does it mean to filter contexts by more than one context? Does it mean that ALL selected contexts must be on the task or ANY?

Regarding automated next-action selection

Next action vs. actionable vs. other
Ah, OK, this statement helps enormously. So, for a given project, each task falls into one of three buckets:
Next action
Actionable
Non-Actionable
In a parallel project (or...
