By single dimension, I mean that only one context can be added but David Allen says that context has five aspects (1) location (2) presence or people (3) tools or resources (4) Occasion (or an important time, event, ceremony, or celebration) (5) environment which is simply the weather - vital for farmers using GTD
So why doesnt Toodledo separate ALL them so that a Task can be multidimensional with context. PS I know that it has separated Presence or People, but that is all Warm regards/gary This message was edited 7 days ago. |

As a long time user, here's how I work around this.
I use Tags to implement this type of GTD functionality when the Folder, Context, Goal, Status fields are insufficient. You can give a Task multiple Tags. Just separate each Tag with a comma. For example, People are Tagged (John, Mary), while primary Locations (Home, Office, Shop, Out) and Tools (PC, Internet, Email, Phone) are Contexts. So I could have a Task to "Ask John about thing" which can have John as a Tag and Phone or Email as a Context but if I happen upon John, I can go "I had a question for you...", QED. There is also a separate specific Location Field in Toodledo but I never use it. Best, Bob |
