Dependancies with contexts, anyway possible?

[Luc Poitras]

Hi!
Just like you can have dependancies between tasks, how about dependancies within contexts.
Here is my simple example:
- I wake up in the morning, not out of bed yet, so here is context " Waking up".
- tasks like: 1-Do specific breathing exercices to reenergise; 2- writing down fresh ideas for projects while still in a pending or blurry state of mind (brainstorming); specific stretching exercices in bed to "revigorifier".

Then comes the "Getting out of bed" context, where tasks like: 1- start coffee machine; make bed; prepare breakfast for the 3 year old; read journal; etc.

Then I have more contexts like these that follow, like "Getting inbox to empty pomodoro" and "Cleaning chores pomodoro"

So, there is a sequence here that obviously has to be respected, (for me I mean) like "Getting inbox to empty" not coming before "Cleaning chores pomodoro" context.

I want the appropriate contexts to appear, once the precedent context tasks has been completed!!!

And if I may, before somebody suggests it, the open and closed hours for context don't work because my work schedule varies, so I don't come out of bed necesseraly at the same time each morning.

In other words, I just hate having contexts appear that are not actionable in the present moment, but that will maybe be actionable in 10 minutes, once I clear the tasks of the present active context.
Thanks!
Luc!
Hope I am clear enough!

Should have read instead: "Getting inbox to empty" coming before "Cleaning chores pomodoro" context.

Hi Luc,
If you want to propose dependencies between contexts, you should write
it up on the website at mlo.uservoice.com - if it gets a lot of votes
it will be noticed.

Meanwhile, as a workaround, I wonder if you have considered using
projects instead of contexts.

Imagine the following:
[] Daily routine (project)
[] Get up (project)
[] Wake up (task)
[] Get outta bed (task)
[] Get started (project)
[] Drag a comb across my head
[] Find my way downstairs
[] Have a cup

Daily Routine is defined as a project that repeats daily, with all
tasks regenerated on recurrence, and with recurrence happening when
all tasks are complete. Everything else is defined as "inherit dates
from parent".

Get Started is dependent on Get up

When the day starts, the only active tasks (in this section) are wake
up, get outta bed. When you have completed these two tasks, the
project "get up" appears on your list and has to be checked off, but
as soon as you have done this, the last three tasks show up. There's
an added step of checking off the "get up" project but other then
thst, it seems to do what you want.

That was funny Dwight! "Drag a comb across my head; find my way downstairs" I like your humor!
...And very interesting idea to use projects instead of contexts. I'll give it a try! The idea of dependancies between projects could work!
