I'm having a hard time keeping the relationship between an item in my waiting for or Next Actions associated with a specific project.
I often times ask myself, did I put this in my waiting for list already? Then I have to spend time going through my waiting for list and understanding which projects are associated with what. So then I worry if i put it in waiting for which defeats the purpose of the system.
I am still setting up my system and this is a big gap for me so I hope others have figured this out. I am using Outlook and Onenote. I have a @WAITING FOR folder in my email that I am using. I have a "waiting for" list in my Onenote. So just two things to look at to know what I'm waiting on. I CC myself on emails I am waiting for and it automatically goes in that folder. But now I have a good amount of things in that folder, and it isn't obvious without spending a minute or two reading through each one as to which project it is associated with.
So the question is, how do you know which waiting for and next action items are tied to a project without reading through each item?
