In theory there could be a dedicated macro button added to the message toolbar to replace "send" with "sendandprocess" that sent the active message and then ran it through outlinker.

Unfortunately the software is keeping me far too focused on my day job/projects to get sidetracked into programming this at the moment :-).

I'm thinking that the next post on the site could be a laundry list of features/ideas that others might want to jump in and contribute to.

Thanks

The way the script loops through the mindreader.mmap map, it can only recognize one instance of each attribute (category, context, etc). It would take some programming to get around that and prompting would get in the way of non-attended use.

The trick I use is to use different verbs for different contexts. For example I use "buy" for an "@errand" purchase and "order" for an @web purchase. In your example I might use "visit" or "drop off" for @errand and "pay" for @web.

Thanks.

You can't bring over rich text or graphic information, but there may be a few things you can do today with the tool.

If you copy a list of things from onenote into the gyroq "q" tag, it should treat each line as a separate task and split them out.

If you highlight onenote text, and hit control-shift-G, you can get the highlighted text to be the "note" of a new task (remember to toggle to "q" tag after hitting control-shift-g).

Thanks for the change in the code; I'll have a look at the s2am keyword too - sounds good! BTW: I like the daily stats too, they provide for a nice chart in excel.

I usually write in a specific next action rather than use the subject line as is so it hadn't occurred to me to do this. The "cleansubject" routine was used for the text prompt above.

Note that the code has two other recent changes including a "send to activemap" (s2am) keyword (which does an immediate transfer to the active map's selected topic, and a timer that tells you how quickly you are moving through your mailbox.

I"ve been really enjoying outlinker use. Unfortunately it (and NAA) keep me too focused on getting things done to blog about it much :-).

I've been using outlinker for quite a while now and still love this tool.
One thing I've wanted to be different was the fact that the "action" in mindmanager would always include the "RE:" or "FW:"
When looking around in the code, I found there was already a function to remove these from the text in the dialog.

The change I've made is in the GetNextAction function:
defaultna = cleansubject(objitem.Subject)

Maybe this is something for other users too, or something for your main thread …

Thanks again AO

Yes, I have actually moved away from using the DADP (daily action dashboard plus). I liked it initially, but found I spent most of my time endlessly advancing overdue "targets" and neglecting other aspects of the dashboard. I instead now work from the faster vanilla dashboard and use the branches off the "next action analysis", which has the near-term target information under the "finishing" branch and the "to be processed" under the "foresight" branch. The NAA script provides some incentive to deal with other "review" issues on the dashboard.

I'll try to build this update into DADP soon, in the meantime, you have a tutorial on how to do it :-).

Thank you for the update. I will try this out & here's some things I noticed already:
1. In this blog entry you're showing the "Deadline" image. Should be "My committed Next Actions…"
2. "To be Processed" & "Targets I'll Hit" in the original DADP are missing. Change of logic or just forgotten?

I usually don't get "To Be Processed" showing up, but is useful when it does. And "Targets I'll Hit" is very useful.

IMHO,
