Other statuses that David Allen mentions

Hi,

I noticed that Nozbie collapses what Allen describes as contexts (Home, Work) with statuses. Also, the application does not include some of Allen’s suggested stauses (Delegated, Reference, etc.) although I can of course add them if I want to.

What is the reasoning behind 1 collapsing statuses and contexts and 2 not including all recommended statuses? Do you not recommend using them?

Thanks!!

Hello Daniel. I recommend using different contexts David Allen mentioned. In the first version of Nozbe I did just that, but for many it was too much.

Right now out of the box we’re including only four most-used contexts and you can add more if you like.

I merged statuses with contexts because the full GTD implementation is just too complicated. I wanted it simple and I though statuses and contexts are very similar and I blended them altogether.

if you looked at the way that Gqueues works is left hand side bar, it should be possible i believe to integrate status without complicating things

BRV I’m not sure if MIchael does but I have a passive knowledge of that language ( passive cause I have not used it in over 13 years).

A lot of ru people, who seek or study GTD method highly praised this text , he helped me to create my own system, may be you or your programmers something like that.

Daniel Shorter,

Nozbe lets you assign more than one Nozbe-context to a task.

Consider adding both Allen-contexts and Allen-statuses to Nozbe-contexts. Example: @Home, @Work, @Computer, @Errands, *Delegated, *Reference, *Postponed.

And a task can have two contexts assigned, e. g. @Computer and *Postponed.
