So I have an action ie. Check IRS site for blank blank (in my @ online category, stand alone project). So now I’m reviewing and realize I need to create a Project for this task.
How do can I create a project and include the original task below it. I’m aware that if (on the desktop) I drag the task to the Project column it will create a Project with that same title but is there a way I can create what I just described above.
thanks people
I can’t think of a shortcut way to do what you describe. The usual way is to create a new project as usual (P key), then open the original action and assign the new project as its parent.
How about Shift + P you already a Shift shortcut so perhaps → Shift + P can create a new Project with the Selection action as a Children of that Project with the cursor position on the Name of the Project ready to be typed in.
This would be Superb. Sometimes one has a an action which came as a result of deep Weekly Review and you create it. Then things happen as David Allen says you adapt, now that action should belong to a project. It was first thought of as a single action but you realize " you know what I need a project for this action because I have other actions that arose in the thought process?
And that’s the thinking.
Currently the process to create a project with one or more next action is cumbersome. It involves to many steps. I even realised that in my case this leads to project creation resistance.
I think we already discussed this, I didn’t check…
How about
right click → move to a new project
This works. Excellent
