How do I use "Waiting For" or "@waiting"? Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Prev Previous Post   Next Post Next
Many good thoughts. Another one I had was to use the silver bullet, i.e., the flag. Maybe the flag, for me, is the @waiting tag. So any context that is a person with a flag would be the equivalent of an "@waiting" for that person.

I've always had a little trouble with contexts that are people, e.g, @spouse, vs. contexts that are physical, e.g., @office. What if I want to be sure to call my spouse when I'm at work?

Based on comments that David Allen makes in his books, I have concluded that his system (while the best I have ever seen in this domain) is a little reflective of the lifestyle of a consultant who lives his life on the road largely and doesn't have kids. Thus, some tweaking is required.
