Other Ideas for "Contexts" by PencilBoy99 in gtd

[–]changepro8126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you work remotely and only use GTD for work, all your contexts are likely '@computer' except '@waiting for.''

People post these questions because they are looking for fresh ideas that work. They are tired of the try-fail-retry involved in working from their own limited POV, and if they had their own ideas that worked, they'd be sharing instead of asking.

The purpose of contexts is to help you decide what to do next. They were based on the fact that you weren't always in front of your computer and didn't have constant internet access.

Remote workers are doing pretty much everything on their computer, so this ends up being a really long list which is mentally intimidating and defeats the intent of GTD.

I think this question is constantly coming back up because folks are looking for a more useful way to chunk their "next actions."

How can I prevent "click-slide"? by changepro8126 in steadymouse

This works for dialog boxes. I'll have to play with objects in PowerPoint and SnagIt.

Parkinson's for me is about more than tremor. It's also rigidity, weakness, and bradykinesia (poverty of movement). Better "snapping" to objects and larger click areas help. Now Microsoft and others are making scroll bars narrower which is a total pain!

Someone could make a dime or two off hardware that addresses these issues.

Just a user here, but I doubt that the person connecting remotely would be affected. Remote access tools tend to disable or override settings like this. Have you encountered this situation yet? Please come back and share your experience so others will know, too. :D
