Assigning a Task to multiple categories - good or bad idea ?

[stephengh]

Just started setting up and have never before been able to plough through the e mail morass quite so effectively. My initial scepticism has been swept away.

I am following the guidance of setting up GTD with Outlook and assigning tasks to the @Waiting For etc etc and am a little confused about the use of categories.

How do people feel about multiple categories assigned to a task.

So for instance on Project I could be waiting for a task from Jim. Do I assign this to my @jim category, my project category or my @waiting for category -= or all three ? My instinct is to go for all three. This was when I am looking at the project I can see all matters outstanding on the project, when reviewing all the things I am waiting for I can see it there, and if Jim comes in my office I have all things to do with him easily to hand. The disadvantage I can see is that on the weekly review I will see a number of things a number of times.

help anybody ?
