I think I'm using a newer version, and if I create a new status, it is just a folder, where it would be nice to click and move on.

I like putting them all together for easy access, but it is also easy to archive offline (I use Thunderbird for accessing offline stuff). I'm a newbie to GTD inbox, but I'm liking it so far.

I guess you got a lot of "buy this" comments because you wrote a "buy this" post! :-) I loved the idea of removing contexts. I just went through my list of contexts, and they are actually projects in disguise. One quick question: don't you get overwhelmed by the amount of choices for statuses you have? It's a huge list! :-) Great video, thanks for sharing! I guess you got a lot of “buy this” comments because you wrote a “buy this” post! :-)

People can leave you (public or private) voice comments on your blog and you can listen to them online or on your cell phone. It might be fun to literally hear from some people, no? You can also post comments to your page from your cell phone. You can get a free voice comments player at getabuz.com if you're interested. Amy,

I didn't realize GTDinbox offered the "Old" label prefix -- but I agree, for usablility "Z" makes more sense, you want done projects at the end of the list. I've just renamed my P:Done projects to Z:Done projects, and will follow your advice as other projects become history. Thanks A bunch! This is something I really love about blogging my learning curve: Getting good advice! - Amy Gil, thanks for that tip.

But I like your idea of adding Statuses like "Buy This" so I'm going to try that. Some suggestions though: <i>I’d love it if GTDinbox would offer a default “P:Done projects” (or maybe “P:Archived projects”) label with associated logic so that if you select all messages under a project and then add that label, the done project’s label will disappear from your list of active projects that you see when you open any e-mail message. </i> GTDInbox has the Old: label. So every time I'm done with a project, I rename it from P:Glasses to Old:Glasses. Actually I've configured it to be Z: instead of Old: but the point is that it keeps your projects intact but puts it out of your way. Funny, I also deleted Contexts.
