Not a recommendation but it is what I’ve fashioned for tasking. It seems to be working ok. Probably more complicated than it needs to be & I’m always looking to refine, simplify it. Suggested changes are surely welcome.

GTD Inbox. All tasks entered here in a special form template. Some are linked to other items as necessary. For example: If I have to call the florist to place an order, I will link to that contact so I can always click on the parent to get the tel # & take notes in the contact detail area.

Groups = Active/Inactive
Active = Action = yes
Inactive = Action = no

@Attributes
@Action = yes/no
@Priority = 0 -> 5 (number the for sorting purposes)
None, Done, As Able, As Required, Urgent

@Category = 1 -> 9 (number the for sorting purposes)
Appt, Todo/Ernd, Phone/Email, Reminder/Foloup, Idea/Research, Financial, WWW, Waiting, Deferred/Pending

Filters: Tomorrow, Next 7 days, Next 30 days

Reminders
Today is reserved for items created or modified today
Reminders are set to view upcoming tomorrow, next week, next month as needed
Also reminders are set up to review GTD Inbox, acitve & inactive items periodically

Forms for tasks include all GTD inputs + date/time for reminders & whatever else I need
