I'm at a bit of loss as to how due dates & waiting for status are supposed to work.
I use 'waiting for' often when delegating tasks or waiting for answers from people. When I put the action in waiting for status, I usually put a due date & current date on it so that if I haven't heard from that person by then I'll know to send them a follow-up ("I sent you X on date Y, etc.).
I'm still getting my head around OF, but it appears that actions in the waiting for state don't show up in the due perspective nor the the badge count.
In fact the only reason I noticed this problem was during today's iPhone sync (it had been about 3-4 days since I synced) and there were suddenly 14 due soon actions!
So two questions really:
- Is my waiting-for-with-due-date the right way to use these two features and
- What's the best way to view all the items that I've got outstanding with other people (and thus in a 'waiting for' context)
