That's my understanding too, and in doing so he is obeying the rules. Urgent tasks go on the current page, while unfinished tasks go on the next page.
"I understand Jupiter's post that he puts the tasks that have now become urgent on the current page's C2, not the next one. The current page being the one which he stopped on the day before and is going to continue working on right after the whole-list scan" Yes this is exactly what I do.

"That's my understanding too, and in doing so he is obeying the rules. Urgent tasks go on the current page, while unfinished tasks go on the next page." yes the rules are perfect for me. Sometime I am un able to do all my urgent tasks but now I know why and I know what to do.
Maybe I'm being pedantic, but that sentence after ' . . obeying the rules.' is really important.
How about:'Urgent tasks go into C2 on the current page, while unfinished tasks from C1 {on the current page} go into C2 on the next page.'?
<< Urgent tasks go into C2 on the current page, while unfinished tasks from C1 {on the current page} go into C2 on the next page. >>
That's not quite correct. It should read:
"Urgent tasks go into C2 on the current page, while unfinished tasks from C1 or C2 {on the current page} go into C2 on the next page.
For the rest (and to be sure I understand correctly), I think essentially you say:
Sometimes you like to read through the whole list looking for things you need to do soon, because you might have forgotten about them. If you find some you Rewrite those on the next C2 as urgent. This gives you confidence to proceed more easily in working the current page.<<
I like that idea too - especially in crazy times like at the moment where I'm spending one day at one place of employ and not getting much done, and the next at another place ditto for getting things done, and may not even look at the list at all for 2 or more days. The earthquake down south hasn't helped with relatives down there I still haven't heard from. On the bright side, when I do get a minute or so, I know that I can catch some focus just by turning to the list to see what needs doing.
Stats as of this morning... the "SFv3 2 week update" entry appeared on my last page.
Open pages: 6
Completed or dismissed pages: 8 (I'm not differentiating these on a page level - dismissed tasks get moved into their own Toodledo folder and then I archive the page folder.)
Individual Page Stats (total column 1 entries is always 25): (open in column 1 / total in column 2 / open in column 2)
Page 9: 4/3/1
Page 10: 1/1/0
Page 11: 5/6/0
Page 12: 7/10/2
Page 13: 21/3/0
Page 14: (last page): 13/2/0 (tasks added in the course of writing this update: 4)
<< I get annoyed that I have to keep working on things I'd rather let slide but not enough to dismiss or delete them! >>
Just think how great it'll feel when you've finished them!
Oh, I love getting them done... I just feel like the list is forcing my hand. Which I realize is the whole point.
