Review Filters

Review filters are ones I use during my weekly review.

3.1 NA

This filter shows me a list of all projects and their next actions.

  • Status: incomplete
  • Limit view to Next Action item: yes, based on sibling order
  • Scope: filtered parent hides branch, starting at level 2
  • Categories: all except Someday, Need NA, Maybe
  • Keywords: SNA
  • Show items that have: none of the keywords

3.2 Need NA

This filter tells me which projects need to have a next action defined.

  • Scope: Include entire branch when a parent matches a filter, starting at level 1
  • Categories: Need NA

3.3 NA Not Linked

This filter allows me to see which items are not linked to the task list, and quickly link them.

  • Status: Incomplete
  • Link Filter: Not Linked
  • Limit view to Next Action item: yes, based on Sibling Order
  • Scope: filtered parent hides branch, starting at level 1
  • Categories: all except Maybe and Someday

3.4 Linked

This last filter gives me an idea of what my workload is for the week.

  • Status: incomplete
  • Link Filter: to do link
