Only showing next actions in contexts (Focus Today/Next)

GTD separates 2 modes: I like to call them "Management mode" and "working mode". In the first I am processing my inbox, reviewing, looking at projects, describing tasks and planning my work. In "working mode" I am actually checking off tasks.

Working on tasks is something I do in a certain context. That way, I should not see things that are not yet available (focus tomorrow, Scheduled, someday or waiting). Because what would be the use of making a task "someday", when it shows up right now?

If this is behavior on purpose it would be nice to make this a setting, so that I can only look at my work that can be done today/next.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback!

We have improved the rule how to show the tasks under a context. You can group by the tasks under the context by Box, you can just see the task under the Today and Next group. How do you think about this idea?

We will consider your suggestion seriously.

Shall you need any help or have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me back.

Best regards,
Doit.im Team

Wendy,

I also understand that you have a solution under implementation for hiding those tasks in a project that are intended to become Next or Waiting as soon as certain preceding tasks have been completed. I understand that you refer to this as "task dependency".

Would it be possible for you to describe this a bit more. Will it be possible to have any number of tasks active (showing in Next) or just one single task at a time?

Hi,

I am sorry that I do not refer to this as "task dependency". It is a Group by option what I talk about.

Q:Will it be possible to have any number of tasks active (showing in Next) or just one single task at a time?
A: What do you want it to be?
