Say you enter a new task: "Call Mark". This is a new task, so you'd date it a month from today. You end up calling Mark, and leaving a message. He calls you back, and you agree to meet a week from today, but you need to come up with the place. You enter a new task: "Come up with restaurant for meeting with Mark.". Do you date that one month, or 7 days.

Any ideas?

I used to treat this as 7 days. This is now a committed action rather than a possibility.

(It would be 7 days even if the meeting were a month, a year or a decade out.)

avrum:

One month.

It doesn't matter because DWM uses single passes through the entire list (i.e. you don't circulate round individual pages). So a task on p. 30 is just as likely to get done as a task on p. 7.

I suggest "The Star" at Rusper. http://www.horshampub.co.uk/star-inn.php

Mark: "One month"

Ok, so I'm not the only one who's confused. Onwards, I'm going with the Boss's suggestion. 30 days.

Avrum,

Au contraire: I was not confused: just plain wrong.

Sorry, Mark.
