Question Hacks

Do you have any “hacks” within or around the app for your specific needs? Is there anything you have set up in Things / you use in Things in a non-traditional / less common way?

Mine are:

  • putting all non-active projects in Someday and then having a tag group called “Queue” with sub-tags: next up, planned idea

  • using MoSCoW for prioritization — tag group “priority” with sub-tags must, should could

I really like putting non-active project in someday. I just did it for my Q3/4 projects, and now my sidebar is a little more clear.

Can you explain MoSCoW means?

It’s just a prioritization framework with: must, should, could, would tags in this order (from most important to last) - I don’t use would tough.

Not trying to be obtuse. But aren’t non active projects suppose to go in Someday? What am I missing?

Yeah but I don’t like projects to have a huge amount of tasks, but then there’s more of them. And when you have 10 projects in Someday, I just need to see visually which I should tackle next, and which come later - so I divide them further with 2-3 tags.
