Posted Apr 01, 2015 in: How can I add details to Goals or Folders?
Score: 0
This isn't a specific GTD question but GTD does address it a bit. A properly-set goal must have a clear definition of "done", many goal-setting gurus say something like "What tangible evidence will exist that your goal has been complete? What can other people detect about it?"
Goals in ToodleDo have hardly any space for any detail. It seems there ought to be a "notes" field in a Goal (as there is in a task). For instance, one of my goals, which will take me a while, is to become better at computer programming. I have three very specific "I need to be able to...." measurements for when this goal is achieved. For instance: 1) I need to be able to create DSP algorithms to do X, Y, and Z, and program them into an embedded chip inside a consumer product. 2) etc. For the moment, I create a task that says "Tangible evidence of completion of [name of goal], but this is clumsy. The task has to be assigned the goal, contexts, and all that, it doesn't inherit anything simply due to having a goal assigned to it. I use Folders for categories of stuff. At first I used them for projects, but realized that was too limiting. For instance, I have a folder called Family and it is for anything that I do on behalf of the family that isn't financial. Plan a trip, give someone needed financial counseling, take everybody out for a meal, and so on. Had I restricted my Folders to simply projects, that would have morphed into many folders. So, again, I sure wish I could add a "note" to a "folder" instead of only to a task. Is is possible to do now, and I simply haven't figure out how? Or could this be added somewhere in the development cycle? NWAC |

Posted by Jake:
If you use one of our apps (iPhone / Android) or any of our 3rd party apps that sync with Toodledo, you would have be able to access your data offline when our website was down and made any changes that you wanted which would have synced when you regained connectivity. Additionally, our Lists and Outlines sections are already capable of working offline when the server is down and we are working to bring this offline functionality to the Notes and Tasks section as well. I am unaware of any "third party apps" on Win7 that do this. Can you point me to them? On my Win7 machine running Firefox, the List and Outlines are not available without network access. Do I need to change a setting in FF to do this? Thanks |

Jake, why doesn't the Toodledo application cache data on the local hard drive? I'm not the only person whose network connectivity is intermittent. I *should* be able to navigate to the Toodledo website and see the last stuff I uploaded, if my connectivity is broken (which is true about 25% of the time). Also, I *should* be able to add/edit/modify while offline, and then the updates get to the Toodledo cloud when connectivity is restored.
This is how most of my other nominally online apps work, why not Toodledo? |

OK, found it myself again. There's a magic thing at work...I can search for what I seek for 15 minutes. Then I post a question on the topic, and the next time I search...I find the answer.
Oh, well, sorry for degrading the S/N in the Questions section of the forum. This message was edited Aug 31, 2014. |

Tried it also with contexts. I see now the overall picture of how this works. Logically, to the app, there is no difference between a context, goal, location, etc. They just provide handles by which we can sort our tasks into "what I want to know about now". Tags, apparently, are the only category of sub-division where a task is allowed to take on more than one value.
Now that I understand the big picture of how TD treats these various sub-divisions, I can re-arrange things appropriately. Thanks |

Posted Aug 30, 2014 in: Request to reduce three-clicks to a single?
Score: 0
I can't recall quite what feature works this way, but there are already some things in TD that seem to work by simply moving the mouse away from a drop-down. Because it's not consistent, the ones I've encountered have been irritants, I suppose because they were things that I did not want to work this way.
Going to two-clicks would be WAY better, because (at least on Win7-64 and Firefox on several computers), there's a distinct time delay between click-and-highlight, and then click-and-dropdown. Normal rates of clicking functions result in unpredictable behavior...one must slow down. |

I'm not sure how to word this correctly.
To change things like the priority of a task, its folder, goal, status, you have to click twice. For instance, if a task's priority is 1 and I want to move it to 3, I have to first click on the "1 Medium" display, which turns the display into a pull-down box. Now I have to click a second time to read the list and click a THIRD time to select the new priority (e.g. 3 - Top). Why would anybody click on the priority field, except to change it? So why require all these clicks? Thanks |

As far behind being "normal" at being organized, I have messes everywhere...in my head, on my desk, in my car, in my living room...
Resolving it won't be fast, but I have discovered that a lot of progress can be made if I focus on tasks which contribute to resolving more than one issue. For instance, "Process left-front pile of paper on office desk" could contribute to: a) Catching up on back accounting, b) organizing the office c) transferring financial files to accountant...and so on. Is there a way? |
