Living in two cities - roadblock for OF? Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Prev Previous Post   Next Post Next
I've been using OF for a few years now, and I'm sadly thinking of calling it quits. I live in two cities and can't figure out how to set up contexts satisfactorily with the hierarchical organization that OF imposes. A tag system would do the trick; can anyone think of a solution using OF?

I split my time living in two cities, A and B.

I have similar things that I do in each city: work on computer, make phone calls, run errands (Trader Joe's, Costco, Home Depot...).

I can set up my contexts like this:

Errand : Costco : A (need to buy at Costco in city A)
Errand : Costco : B (need to buy at Costco in city B)
Errand : Costco (need to buy in Costco anywhere)
Errand : HomeDepot : A
Errand : HomeDepot : B
Errand : HomeDepot
etc.

Or like this:

A : Errand : Costco
A : Errand : HomeDepot
B : Errand : Costco
B : Errand : HomeDepot
Errand : Costco
Errand : HomeDepot

But each has its issues. The first scenario makes it a big pain to pause all my city A tasks when I'm in city B, and vice versa. The second scenario prevents me from seeing all my Trader Joe items together, which is a big pain when I'm trying to shop there.

Am I missing something? Or do I just need to add myself to the long list of people wanting "tags"?

thanks!
Anton
