The default settings of myThings for MindManager use a Maplist for the Actions and use one map for each context you define (@office, @phone, @home, @club etc.). This gives you a good overview on your actions for each context.

If you think that you don’t need a map for each context or you think that this is too much then of course you can collect all your actions in one map instead and still have an easy access to your Actions-Map.

This little tutorial shows you how to do this and how to add the AutoDistribution-Function to this map for an easy distribution of the topics dropped on your Actions-Map.
