Notes to tasksby ptram - 10:25AM, Feb 01, 2008 |

Hello everybody,
This is my first message here, and I start with a question. In my GTD system, I very often attach notes to tasks I'm working on. It is like attaching a post-it to my paper organizer, with additional notes about the ongoing work. When using iGTD, I could use the dedicated note box; with NB, I guess I must add a new item nested to the one I am commenting. For example, say I'm working on a document called MyDoc, and there is an action in my Project page: @Work - MyDoc When finished, I send the draft to my proofreader, waiting for his notes. Here is my task, now: @Work - MyDoc --Sent to proofreader; waiting for feedback. The disadvantage, compared to the iGTD way, is that I have one (or more) "wasted" lines in my To Do Index. The advantage is that I can see everything at a glance, without having to browse through the tasks. is it the right way? The only way? Your comments (either nested or not...) would be much appreciated. Still on this topic, I must add that another possible advantage of the NB way, is that - if the parent task has not yet been checked as complete - sub-tasks are not immediately removed when completed. This allows for the recent history of tasks to be considered. So, in the above case, I would have: @Work - MyDoc -- √ (greyed out) [Sent to proofreader; waiting for feedback.] -- Feedback received. Entering corrections. As of now, it seems to work nice. I must still test it on very long lists of tasks. Paolo |

Hello Paolo, In NoteBook 3.0 you will be able to attach "notes" to a page. For more information see here: http://www.circusponies.com/notebook30.html ---

Nice feature, Eric. I just hope sticky notes can be attached not only to a page, but to a cell/task as well. In the meantime, I'm starting to be accustomed to the described solution. Paolo
