OF user since Kinkless GTD.
Contexts are not relevant to me as someone who primarily works at a desk, and owns a laptop and a phone. @email, @phone, etc are all available to me everywhere. With the exceptions of people and specific places, I don’t really use contexts in the old David Allen sense.
I do still want to get things done.
I have found the most effective way to ensure something gets done is to schedule it on my calendar.
My workflow now is to look for any next actions that do NOT have a context. At that point I either do them, defer them, assign them to someone else, or put them on the calendar. I then give them a context of On Calendar.
This is very effective in helping me to prioritize, see how booked up I am, and ultimately get things done.
Having a way to integrate my scheduled tasks with e.g. Google Calendar would be awesome. The task would show up on my calendar when I am planning there, and it would show as scheduled and when for in OF.
I’ve been doing this process manually for about 2 years (copying the link to the task from OF, creating an event in gCal, and pasting the OF link into the calendar event notes). Works quite well. I do wish it could be more seamlessly integrated.
That’s my use case. Thanks for listening.
