GTD system reference

I have recently come up with a metadata markup system that evolved out of the “dash/plus” system that I use for action items in my Pocket Moleskine. I will try to describe it as best I can with text but it is better viewed so I have included a link to a picture:

- (Dash): Undone Action Item.
+ (Plus): Done Action Item.
<- (Right Arrow): Waiting - i.e. for another action).
-> (Left Arrow): Delegated (with a note to whom and the date).
^ (Triangle): Data Point.
O (Circle): A circle around any of the above means that it has been carried forward, moved to another list or otherwise changed status - i.e. a “Waiting” item has now become an Action Item elsewhere (with a note about where that item has gone).
