Attributes of a Tinderbox User
User attributes, like system attributes, describe key features of each note. Here they are customized for GTD and include characteristics such as whether the note is actionable (Action=true), important (Important=10) and when an action item is due, if ever (Due=never). These attributes are also visible within the Explorer View and the values of these attributes are modified by the user during the Input and Creation process.
Here is a list of the user attributes and their purpose within the GTD template:
- Due - A completion date
- Importance - Agents sort actions based on Importance
- Action - Is it an action item?
- Repeating - Some actions are regular occurrences
- OnHold - Keep it in the project outline but removed from Agents
- Completed - Remove it from the Agents and mark for deletion during the Weekly review
These attributes are all used by various Agents to evaluate, collect, sort and mark the individual and project derived actions, displaying them in a context sensitive manner.
The values of these attributes are actively modified by the user in the Daily and Weekly Review as new actions and projects are defined, modified and completed. They are gatekeepers between the project outline and the action list and are another essential component to getting things done.
