That was one of the thoughts or to simply make a calendar entry that I work on those items as specific times. Unfortunately it's like having three different to do lists which was part of the dilemma.

The paper pile has no sense of priority to it. Maybe having a paper pile in the first place is not a solution (it's mostly data entry stuff but there are a couple of action items). Separating the action items and putting those into OF and making the pile a data entry only pile might work better.

I know in David Allen's book he would talk about using email as it's own list. In other words, you would not add, "Reply to x email" in OF. Maybe I should revisit the book.

I do appreciate your suggestion while I kind of talk my way through this.
