Hello everyone,
I keep going back and forth in OF, trying to determine the best way to handle tasks that don't belong to a project. I feel like I'm gumming up my system by having too many projects, or too many tasks sitting in a Single Action List.

For example, for things that would belong in a certain context, like phone calls, but would not belong to a project (Call the Dentist, Call the Vet, Check on Credit card bill), I created a project called Phone Calls, and all the items in here contain tasks with a Phone Call context. (Make sense?)

I thought it would be a good idea to just have a single action list, with all the tasks containing a context, but that gets way too long, and hard to review.

I also create a lot of repeating tasks (car and house maintenance), and put those in a Project called Tasks with Due Dates. Unfortunately, since OF doesn't order tasks in a vew by due date, I have to constantly reorder them so they're in date order (or am I missing something here?)

Would appreciate any ideas you all have. Just basically looking for ways you all organize tasks that don't belong to a project.

I apologize if this has been discussed in a previous thread, but this subject makes it kinda hard to search on.

Thanks!
