I don't agree. You're describing tickler items. If you make a decision that you should revisit the potential item in two months, it goes in the tickler for that time. Indeed, that's exactly why the tickler exists.
- BeetleB 4y agoNo, I'm describing Someday/Maybe. If you're not sure when or even if you'll do a project, it goes into Someday/Maybe, and you're supposed to review this list regularly. Tickler file is for when you'd like to be reminded of something. So yes, if indecisive about a project, you can let it sit there. However, if you decide you won't do it any time in the near horizon, you move it out of tickler files and into Someday/Maybe. The two are not mutually exclusive, of course. One could treat the Tickler file as equivalent to Someday/Maybe, but for me that would be horrible. I can't imagine having to deal with hundreds of items spread across only 43 folders.
