One Project per page doesn't work

After a few months I have decided to refactor my notebook. Having a page per project makes it a bit clumsy to do the weekly review. Worse, it still requires too much overhead when I need to create a new project. Personal productivity is all about tricks and making small but often repeated tasks very efficient.

So I have now moved all my projects onto a single outlining page, sorted by Due Date, with the top-level items being the projects, and their children the Actions. I have added another abbreviation in TypeIt4Me (pr=> Project) and normally keep the whole page "collapsed". Behold the Project List...

Creating a new project is now as simple as pressing Return, pr and typing the name of the project. That beats creating a new page any time.

Also, I have changed my settings for outlines such that the checking off of "children" of an item doesn't automatically check off the parent, and that the due date of a parent is the latest due date of the children. For any project, I create a subordinate item to set the target completion date. Let's see how that works over the next few months...

Alternatively, I could set the project due date to be the earliest due date of the actions. That would present the project list sorted by the urgency of the need to take an action. Not sure what is best...

So that's what I will be trying in the medium term.

more later...
