Review Future Items
Purpose
This screen is where you review the thoughts you might like to do one day.
Navigation
To navigate between topics or items, you can use the mouse or the arrows keys. Press Enter to select the node or item.
Three Panels
The data in this screen is displayed in 3 panels:
-
Topics: a tree, listing topics for which there is a least one Future Item. When you select a topic,
the existing items are listed on the Future Items panel, ordered by description;
-
Future Items: the Future Items for the selected topic are listed. They are ordered alphabetically. When you
select an item, details are displayed in the Future panel;
-
Future: the details for the selected item can be maintained.
Operations
To perform operations, you need to select the item in the Future Items panel and either use the right-click menu
or the Shortcut Key assigned to the operation.
-
Delete: delete the item. Confirmation is required;
-
Change Topic: combo is displayed to select the new topic;
-
Reprocess: you might decide that now is the time to start on a Future Item. The application will navigate to the
Process Thoughts
screen with the initial thought for that Future Item
displayed, allowing you to enter the next physical action for that thought. If you go back to the Future Items screen,
the item will not be displayed anymore as it has been actioned now.
A future item starts with a thought so you can not add future items using this screen. Use the
Collect Thoughts
screen for new future items.
Notes field

You need to click on the pencil symbol button or double-click on the field, in order to start the
Edit mode before you can update the field;

Tickle date
You can use the tickle date to get reminded about the Future Item. When the tickle date is reached or
has passed (in case you don't run the application for a few days), the Future Item will be sent
back to your unprocessed thoughts box and will re-appear at the top of unprocessed thoughts the next
time you call the Process Thoughts screen.
