Suggest adding a next action in an @Agendas list for any topics you need to discuss with your wife. I have agenda next actions for my boss, my employees, mom and my partner…and anyone else who I need. That way I can scan the Agendas context and see who I need to catch up with or before I have a meeting with the individual. I think this suggestion is straight from GTD…

Again a recognizable point you bring up here Paul. As Eric already mentioned also eProductivity offers ways to categorize projects. I am trying that out myself right now to get a better view on my projects and will blog about that experience later this week. Peter Simoonss last blog post..Staying in control in busy times

A few quick thoughts: 1. I recommend using the project verbs but wording your project in the past tense - as if it were already done. This way, it sets up a cognitive dissonance and your brain says "no, it';s not done, you still need to..." and that's your next action. Also, when you name your projects this way, it's easier to sort and find them. 2. eProductivity supports advanced categorization of projects and subprojects on a context-by context basis. This setup is available under the advanced options of projects and actions in the preferences. I recommend that you contact support and we will walk you through the setup. We want to make sure you get it right so that you have something to show off to GN. Eric Macks last blog post..Shouldn’t Unanswered E-mail, To Dos, and Calendar Entries Be a Single Application?

heh, one up for Outlook, Netcentric’s GTD add-in has both Projects and Sub-Projects which I’m deploying to resolve exactly that impasse!
