No problem. The way the Weekly Goal works is that it applies a boost the task (and I think this includes folders too) that is set as a Weekly Goal. The children of this task inherit this boost. So far so good. Where it all goes pear shaped is that for (to my mind) some bizarre reason, MLO then applies this boost again to the children (on top of the boost they have inherited). And so on.
Like you I was completely bemused as to the rationale behind this and as yet nobody has really been able to explain (to my satisfaction, at leaset) why you might want this behavior.

Pottser may have a point there about GTD rules as an influence on the algorithm... so now I have to head off to David Allen's forum and tell him how upset I am... Richard, yeah, I did try the Options thing, and on firs try I can get the order in a test data set to work like I would like to, but I have to move the sliders almost to opposite ends of the scale... that makes me nervous as to how it will affect the prioritization of other items... but it may not affect them at all... but it seems we can never be sure... Bummer about the weekly goals issue, as I was hoping to put that to use next... does this still happen if the higher levels are just folders and not project or task entries? Thanks for you calm and insightful replies... Cheers, Grant -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
