Hi all,

Now that I have OF on all my devices, it's time for me to dump my Personal tasks into it on top of my work tasks. I've set up respective folders to keep the work tasks and personal tasks easily separated, but one thing I'm toying with are "someday" lists. I have a system in place now, but I was curious about what the forums thought about it.

Here's the easy example, my "Books to Read" list. I have ton's of books just sitting around my house that I "plan on reading" but never do. So, in OmniFocus, I set up a SAL entitled "Books to Read" and entered the books. The rationale is that during my review, I can remind myself "hey, I haven't picked up that book in a while."

Here's the thing that is bugging me a little. For the context, I have all the items as "Read" as I have a ton of stuff to read for my work as well. This works well for work and the book I'm reading currently, but with the titles of all the books I WANT to read in the future, the "read" context is now very full. Should I put the books that I'm not currently reading in the "Waiting" context? Maybe use a Project instead of a SAL and list the books sequentially (having OF block the unread books)? Something else?

I look forward to hearing what you guys and gals have to say.
