Got it. Yes slightly clunky but it works :) Many thanks Dwight. BTW, I am am trying hard to follow the GTD methon but I am having a slight 'existential crisis' in how the heck to set things up on MLO. Is there anywhere with a gallery of completely different ways of doing things, hosted somewhere?
Priority is a good example. I mean given how many Projects it seems that David Allen likes us to create... (I forget the exact quote but you set up a Project for anything that takes more than a couple of minutes an which involves more than 2 or 3 sittings is it?)... I think most GTD users end up with something between say 60 and 120 live "Projects" at once... And it quickly becomes overwhelming unless diced/sliced/ordered somehow. I have found that if you're not careful with quite so many Projects, it's extremely easy to find yourself NOT doing the most important stuff just in order to tick off some nice tasks on list. I know that in GTD we are supposed to keep doing both our 1-2 hours weekly reviews plus our daily reviews (done many times per day??)... and I know that filtering by Context does help a fair bit. But with quite so many Next Actions (one per project) it's still extremely hard to manage such a large number (and this is made worse by my being moderately dyslexic). Either way with such a large number of Projects I am fully expecting my projects to shift in their priority (i.e Urgency and/or Importance) a LOT. But how best to manage these shifts in MLO. I was planning to do this at the Project level using the Importance and Urgency slider fields supplied. And I was intending to do so at the Project level because it seemed to me that it was (mostly) the priority of the entire project that was shifting. But now it seems that this is difficult, possibly impossible to set up and manage easily in MLO. So I am curious about how everyone else does priority round here. I was talking off-line to an MLO expert user who if I understood him correctly recommended just using the manual *sorting* through the Outline. But that would rather screw up the way I was planning to use folders for my GTD Areas of Focus... And fwiw, he also had a completely different way of implementing Context using Flags rather than tags, which was interesting... All v confusing. Has anyone ever pulled together like a gallery showing the completely different ways that people implement GTD on their MLO ? Either way I would love to hear from any seasoned MLO expert user who has actually tried implementing GTD (or v similar) on MLO using different philosophies... and what the crunch issues are in practice.
