I agree. The current system I use is especially problematic when I want to follow up with a waiting for context and then wait again for a response.
My goal in OF is to switch to the contexts and just process... not switch back to project view and add a new item for waiting for or a new action.
Example:
-send email to testCompany about widget
When I send the email it needs a waiting for. Currently I do this:
-send email to testCompany about widget
--waiting for response from testCompany -future date
When I get to the future date I want to send an email to testCompany to see what the status is.
-send email to testCompany about widget
--waiting for response from testCompany -completed
--send email to test company about widget
I send an email and am now back in a waiting for state
-send email to testCompany about widget
--waiting for response from testCompany -completed
--send email to testcompany about widget -completed
--waiting for response from testCompany -future date
In programming speak... a waiting for item is a loop until condition is completed.
