Hi--
I tried OF a while back, then switched to iGTD for a while, and I'm back, mainly because OF for iPhone looks so unbelievably cool!
I'm having a problem with using recurring actions within a project. I have a project (call it "Meeting") with the following sequential actions:
-- prepare agenda
-- distribute agenda
-- write minutes
-- distribute minutes
The meeting happens every 2nd Wednesday, so I want to prepare and mail the agenda out every second Tuesday (recurring due date). So I just wrote the agenda, and was happy to click off my first official OF action. But when I did, OF changed the due date to 2 weeks from now (as expected), but it didn't make "distribute agenda" the next action. In fact, there is no identified next action in the project. So in my perspective that shows only next actions, there's no indication that there's anything to be doing on this project right now.
In planning mode, it looks like this (today is 7/8/08):
Action Context Start Due
Prepare agenda Computer 7/21/08 7/22/08
Distribute agenda email 7/8/08
Write up minutes email 7/10/08 7/8/08
Distribute minutes email 7/8/08
So, how do I get OF to recognize that due action is in fact the next action in the project? Why doesn't it cycle the latest-starting action to the bottom of the list?
