Nirvana HQ Later option

[bobusa]

I went and started using the Later option in Nirvana HQ.



I find it very useful for next actions that need to be parked because they can’t be acted on immediately. They’re not suitable right now but should definitely stay in view. They’re also not a fit for Someday. So, Later is for active next actions that are parked, and Someday is for passive actions. During the weekly review, they’ll get attention when needed.

Later becomes valuable when you hit one of these situations:

1. Seasonal or weather‑dependent ideas
2. Market‑dependent ideas
3. After "X project or action is done” ideas
4. Energy‑based ideas

This way, I only have genuine next actions, and the number of them is manageable.

Let me know what you think and how you manage these type of actions.

I tried a similar approach, but eventually gave up on it. Over time, task statuses kept changing, and the list just turned into another “everything bucket” — but, hey ho. Likely user-related.

These days, I prefer to keep this sort of thing in the project’s support materials.

On this end, Docs and Spreadsheet remains remains the ubiquitously customizable digital tool for GTD

As one sees GTD fit best. . . .

Yes, I like to use the Later option in Nirvana for parking next actions.
It is very useful to me specially at the start of a big project. I use it as a project support material type of space, instead of having parked actions somewhere else, I like to have them inside the project.
But I have to be very careful and not forget to revise this list. I've added new next actions to a project just to find out that I've parked that action in the Later section
