Well you made me laugh, and I didn't even see you!!!!

I'm playing with GTD for housework at the moment too. For a long time, I'd listed down housework tasks in OmniFocus along with the rest of my projects, under a context called @domestic, and the only time I ever looked at that list was to cross off the stuff I'd done during the weekly review. It was entirely pointless, because I just had to put them straight back on there.

My current plan is only to put irregular stuff on the domestic list - so descaling the kettle every 6 weeks or washing the sofa covers every 6 months will go on the list as a recurring task, but unstack the dishwasher makes itself obvious if I can no longer find a cup, so that doesn't need to go on the list.

If something needs particular attention, then I might add it to the list, but I'm trying to keep routine stuff off of my GTD lists. Proper projects that aren't self-evident still go on, of course.

I also have separate checklists for each room (in iPad HomeRoutines), so I don't forget to dust the top of the door frames, but they wouldn't particularly be part of my weekly review.
