iCal syncing, suggestion. Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes

It would be really nice and simple to have one calendar for each role in my life.

If OF incorporated the concepts of Roles, any one Role could sync with one calendar.

Currently, I'm trying to work-around OF, creating tags like this:

Errand : Business 1
Errand : Business 2
Errand : Hobby
Errand : Family
Errand : Self

This way I can sync the context with the calendars. this is just plain cumbersome. As you can see for my partial list, I've got serveral items for just one context... add in the other contexts, and I've got a lot of work to do to make OF work for me.

Ideally, IMO, I could sync like this:


iCal Calendar <--> Role - > (Phone, Waiting, Accountant)


And the Role-to-Context relationship could be a many-to-many relationship, so that I can use multiple tags, adding and/or deleting tags at will, rather then forcing them into one context. I.e., If I'm waiting on a call, it just makes plain sense to have two tags "Waiting" and "Phone", regardless of David Allen's approach.

I like GTD, but that system has to be flexible to work for ME, not me for IT.

(sorry for the tone, i'm a little frustrated after paying good money for OF and finding that it's got some good features but I can't implement them into my life because it's also too restrictive and/or not flexible enough)
