Hi, Sylvia. You have picked a great tool in MLO. One of the great things about this tool is that it supports many different methodologies for task management, and even allows you to invent your own methodology or to modify an existing methodology to match up with how you are most comfortable working. All of this flexibility can be intimidating for a newcomer, so I would recommend starting out by learning an existing methodology. Then, if something about the methodology seems burdensome or restrictive, you can adjust it to suit your needs.
The methodology I would recommend is called Getting Things Done (GTD) and was developed by David Allen. He teaches courses and offers consulting but most people can learn what they need buy buying his book "Getting Things Done: the art of stress-free productivity" or borrowing it from your library. Allen describes his methodology in terms of capturing tasks on cards or pieces of paper, MLO lets you do that on your phone or computer but otherwise it's pretty easy to see how to use MLO to accomplish the steps laid out in the book. -Dwight On Monday, June 2, 2014 7:04:12 PM UTC-4, Sylvia R Flores wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > I decided to get organized and eagerly decided to purchase the software, > but now that I have it installed on my PC and iPad I am starting to feel > overwhelmed.
