I do almost exactly the same as Leigh, with 'area of life' as the top level in my hierarchy and roles / goals as the second level***. You can think of folders as "items without a checkbox" or "note items", because there isn't anything special to make them into folders, just the removal of the completion checkbox. In fact, if it helps you to think of them as notes rather than folders, you can always change their icon on the desktop version of MLO.
***The only difference between what I do and what Leigh does is that I set the areas of life as tasks rather than folders - That's just so that the advanced filter parameter "TopLevelFolderName" can be used to refer to the roles in the second level of my hierarchy, rather than coming up with the same result as the "TopLevelParentName" filter.
