Scratch that. Just realised it is available as a Pro option.Is Nirvana missing any kind of repeating of tasks? How do you guys handle repeating stuff? I have a lot of weekly/monthly/biyearly projects in Omnifocus.

I think you'd be a lot better off using a calendar app as a calendar.Does anyone using NIrvana as calendar?
Should I use specifc date and time list to another calendar app?
It's hard to see landscape of Calendar list.
and how should I handle Specific time action?

I don't use Nirvana, but in general, your list manager really should be separate from your calendar. Project deadlines could be included in a list manager, though! For example, I use Todoist as list manager and have it synced to Google Calendar - that way I can keep an eye on deadlines.Thanks
Are you using Nirvana only for list manager?
How should I handle specific date/time action in project?
Should I check it manually in weekly review?

You can set both start dates and due dates on both next actions and projects. Is this the sort of thing you are thinking of, or are you asking about scheduling work on a project?Thanks

I would give sending the application a due date of Oct. 16.For example if I have "Prepare for Test" project
- Read books
- Send test application
- Check test date
I must 'Send test application' on Oct.16.
This case if I use nirvana how to handle?
I should write down in Calendar then mark complete at weekly review?

Nirvana’s Areas map to GTD’s Area of Focus (Level 2).How to use 'Areas' ?
Does 'Areas' means from 'Areas of focus'?
Can anyone give me some examples how to apply 'Areas of focus' conecpt into Nirvana's 'Areas'?

I‘ve tried repurposing Areas in Things for both contexts and Important/Urgent distinctions, and found they didn’t work for me. In both cases, I found that project next actions did not always fall into the same category. Furthermore, projects moved too much, and the cognitive load in locating them was a distraction.I have the same doubt: I don't find useful to sort AoF, so I was think to other possible use of Areas in Nirvana.
Is there anyone making use of Area with different porpouse?
i e. Eisenhower matrix o even context..

Yeah, tried that too. It breaks down for me in two ways. First, the use of Areas is an aid to navigation. Money things and family things are both personal, but easier to deal with separately. it It extremely difficult to deal with mingled someday-maybe’s. For work, some areas have recurring projects annually, while others areas build on previous work. Just too different to consider together.I used to waste a lot of time and mental bandwidth in Omnifocus placing projects in the proper "area of focus" categorie. Now in Nirvana, I just have two areas "work" and "personal" for filtering when necessary, and keep "Areas of Focus" as a Reference list which I review regularly and use to reflect on how I am spending my time. Just made the change, don't know how effective it is, but really trying to simplify my GTD. If something is a "Project" and not a "Someday" then it has made my priority list, for better or worse - it doesn't really matter whether it is a "Home" area of focus or a "Professional Development" or "Family". Reviewing my AofF list at Weekly Review is when I take time to consider whether I am living a balanced life.
