Thank you for your feedback!

I wrote you about this a week or so ago. When I enter a project and it has multiple steps I want to set the steps to someday so that in my planning I can change the someday items to today or even next. I am a researcher and there are like 15 steps to research. But they happen over time. I want to put all the steps in so I don't miss one, but at the same time I don't want them all to show up or they overwhelm me especially if I have several projects going at the same time. Or when I am teaching a class I have 15 weeks I need to prep ahead, but I don't prep for all the weeks at the same time. So I want to decide in my planning session what to move up into my current list of stuff to do.
Is there another way to do this that I haven't figured out yet. ? Thanks for righting a great program. What other software do you develop?

Mark,
I deal with it almost the same way you do - using Someday - but I also make use of the Priority field.
Basically all my actions have a "priority" (I use it for "review attention/frequency"). I use only High, Medium and Low for this purpose. This means I have Priority None left over, unused, and I use this for "sequentially dependent" actions like the ones you describe.
I make use of both Next and Someday for the "seqentially dependent" actions (Priority None) as follows. If some of them are "just around the corner", i.e. if I just have to do one little thing first before I can get do it, I usually put them in Next (with Priority None) but if they are further away I put them in Someday (Priority None). (Someday Priority None I review once per week, together with Priority Medium and High. Priority Low I review only 2-3- times a year). -
