flagged projects/tasks problems (4 creating Today's Actions) and A GREAT alternative Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Prev Previous Post   Next Post Next
I don't know if this alternative to creating flagged projects/tasks for creating a Today's Task List has been proposed before, so just in case here it is.

Scenario:

- You use flagged tasks to create a list for tasks to do today
- You use flagged projects to decide which projects you want to focus on this week

Challenge:
- When you flag a project, now you have a whole bunch of ghosted flags showing up on your today's task list that are not necessarily due today

Alternative:
- I spoke with Theo (support ninjas) and he suggested me something that is working like a charm.

Select the projects you want to concentrate on this week, and FOCUS on them and create a perspective for that.

When the perspective is created, make sure you go and select all of them again and update the perspective.

This allows you to "show all" again and select / unselect new projects as you watn to update this "focused projects for the week" perspective.

- Doing this allowed me only use flag for Today's task, while having another nice list of focused projects.

-This works well for me because I have a huge hierarchy of projects that I do not want to put on hold, nor moving to the top of the list because I have a lot of nested folders.

I hope this idea helps those in need of a solution like this.

Cheers,

Edward
