Distinguish between "workview" filtering and "actionable" tasks

[Jeff Fortin Tam]

I've been loving GTG for my GTD needs since 2009 or so, but with the blurry distinction between my daily life and my work life, I think I've finally figured out what I'm missing: the "Workview" mode is nice, but it needs something else to complement it.

Currently, workview filters out all the tasks that are deferred into the future or all the tasks for which a tag is marked as "not to be shown in work view".

This leads to the problem where I have either too much (300) or too few (50) tasks depending on if I turned on workview.

I would like:
- An "Actionable tasks only" filter to filter out all the tasks whose startdate is in the future
- "Workview" to ignore the startdate and only concentrate on "filter out the tasks that have a tag that is not set to be shown in workview mode"

Both can be used in conjunction (actually, turning on "Workview" could even automatically activate the "Actionable tasks only" button) when I'm in a professional work setting, but when I'm at home I could turn off workview and be able to see "all the tasks that are actionable but not necessarily related to work".

This is not something I can distinguish just by using one @work tag: the problem is that I have tasks that are "R&D" or "experiments" in my life that are more like "side projects", and currently the problem is that I'm "always" in the workview because the non-workview is a complete mess with way too many tasks (half of which are in the future, and thus non-actionable).

Thanks!
