Quire - Using Organizations as GTD Contexts

Status: To-do

Hi! I'm looking at Quire for a personal GTD setup, not a team productivity app. It seems perfect! (I mean perfect). The only thing is that I've been dinged for creating too many Organizations in a short period of time. I'm using Organizations as my major GTD contexts, so I can have Projects beneath them specific to each one. Then I make myself the Assignee for each Task (is there a default for this?), and I get everything in the My Tasks Overview. This is a perfect match for how I imagine a GTD system to work. The only thing is that limit on creating Organizations. I need about 10, not 3.

Actually, I think the larger issue is with the setup of a system - specifically, how we are limited from setting up "too many" projects or organizations "in a short time".

If I am migrating my setup over from another task/project management system (Asana, in my case), the first thing I need to do is quickly recreate the structure of my contexts, folders and projects. This means I end up adding "too many" organizations/projects in a short time".

This slows down my evaluation of the software. I can't see how Quire performs with my GTD setup immediately, because I have to wait over several sessions just to get the initial structure built up.

In my case, I am willing to wait because Quire seems like such a good fit, but it is a minor frustration that might make others abandon the platform.
