TOPIC: From project to Some Day / Maybe

After working with a project for some time, then we lost momentum and have to send it to Some Day Maybe. How do I move it?

I now use future tab for these projects, ok. But then, I end up with two different Some Day / Maybe lists. And I think there should be another way. Please confirm to me if there is.

Thanks already.

For me the someday/maybe is just a thought, something that I might never do.

A future project is something I have started (at least the planning) and it is just pending at the moment. There is a lot more information.

So some users see it as 2 lists for the same purpose where for me there are 2 different things.

I have a number of these types of projects - or more initiatives - that may stall for a thousand different reasons.

I use the future tab to keep the thinking/structure/history in tact, then I create a single action item - send that action item to someday/maybe with a tickle date to review (with my thinking of what I would do to reinitiate) to trigger a review.

Not 100% elegant, but it does work in that I don't formally review my future tab unless prompted by S/M tickles.

hope this assists...

Just another 2 cents worth... I also have projects outlined in my active projects that I would like to move intact to the future projects section. Right now they just keep getting bumped because I put a whole sequence of steps together that I don't want to lose, but I would really like to be able to "hibernate" the whole thing as a future project.

+1 vote for being able to transfer a whole project to future and back to current.

Thanks,

For me, I'll get a lot of planning done that I don't want to lose, steps that happen before other steps and then I want to dump the whole thing into someday maybe with a quarterly reminder to review (or annual)

For me when you have done some actions or some planning already, it is not a someday/maybe anymore. So I will cut and paste the project from the current projects tab to the future projects tab. And if you want to be reminded of it in 4 months time, set the (now) future project start date to today + 4 months. It will then re-appear in your current projects tab, just in time for you next projects review.
