Categories from To Do
My to do categories (contexts) are as follows:
- Actions: for agenda items, and things I can do anywhere. I have very few of these, so I put them in one category.
- Calls: for phone calls.
- Computer: for tasks I need to perform at the computer.
- Daily: for items that repeat daily. These are my habit-practicing items. I delete this category in Bonsai.
- Errands: for items that I need to do outside of the house.
- Home: for items I must do at home.
- Reading: for keeping track of my current reading.
- Waiting for: for items that I am waiting on something or someone until I can take the next action.
- Work: for items I have to do at work.
Additional Categories for Processing
In addition, I add the following categories in Bonsai in order to process items:
- @Area of focus: these are my main levels in the outline. More about how I determine these later.
- Maybe: for items I might want to do.
- Need NA: for projects that need a next action.
- Project: for projects.
- Someday: for items I definitely want to do in the near future.
