Thanks for trying, but your advice isn't very helpful to me. On Tue, May 7, 2013 at 3:41 PM, robisme (Olivier R) < robillardoliv...@gmail.com> wrote:

If I know for a fact that I won't do a task, I won't put it in MLO, but I have about 1,000 tasks that are someday/maybe, and to be realistic, many of them I would never do. I still want to keep them in MLO because I can't know which ones I'll do and which one I won't. > 2) you should always be able to trust MLO.

I'd hate to rethink my organization scheme because I think it's great, and having to compromise because of MLO's shortcomings would be bad. > > > Secondly: > You are in manual sorting, thus actually a place to add, manage, move, > etc. your tasks.
