Exclude categories from group by display in tasks

[coeal]

Hello,

I use the GTD productivity system. I am trying to filter my tasks list a
certain way but have not found a way to do it. I would like to filter by a
category of tasks (work related as opposed to personal) so I first assign my
task the category of @Work. Secondly, I'd like to assign it a project called
Project 1 so I assign it a second category of !Project 1. Now I've created a
view that displays all tasks with the @Work category and I group that view by
category. My one task displays in the view I created twice. It displays in
the !Project 1 grouping and another grouping, @Work. Is there any way to
exclude the @ Work category? I already know I am looking at tasks that have
the @Work category so I just need to see all tasks grouped by their
categories that are not @Work, presumably projects. I am trying to avoid
using a custom field for project names because then I can't both quickly add
new projects and use the check box feature. I am using outlook 2003.

No, you can't not group by any specific category if you are grouping by
categories. Are you filtering so only @work categories show? You could also
use autoformatting so specific categories are highlighted in another color -
project1 is red, project2 is green etc - rather than grouping by categories.

Additionally to Diane, you may collapse the @Work group because you know
every item is listed there, and just put your focus on the other groups.
