[Luc Poitras]

C.K. Here’s the message I sent to Mark this morning...

First of all: wow, wow and wow. You have made my day Mark with this sharing
of yours of Zettelkasten. Been looking at this “thing” for the past hour or
so. Great stuff!!!
And while in my Zettelkasten google searching, I dropped on this, and am
thinking it could be of interest to you.

https://link.medium.com/MfH51JgXBfb

For your info, I just discovered AirTable about 3 weeks ago, and it is
being litteraly a game/life changer for me.

And in the next few days, I will implement this Zettelkasten metho. into my
Airtable base.

Have a good one

Me again about Daily goals...
First a big thanks for the answers received earlier.
And here is the answer surrounding my question a couple of weeks ago.

Re: [MLO] Re: « Daily » goal!

[Luc Poitras]

Thanks Dwight!
For the « open/close » approach, wouldn’t work in my « 10 000 steps
completed » daily goal because this is something I want to achieve during
the day, without knowing exactly when it’s gonna happen (I know I’m there
when it says 10 000+ steps on my IPhone health app.
And I suppose using the star could work.
Until now, with your examples, I will continu using context that ressembles
your « daily goal » approach.
But, still, I much prefer calling a cat... a cat, and still believe there
should be this in edit tasks: Goal: None; Daily; Weekly; Monthly; Yearly.
Thanks again Dwight!
Luc

Re: [MLO] Re: « Daily » goal!

[Luc Poitras]

I like that... Haven’t seen it this way.
An example could be something like: « 70 000 steps completed » and this
would be a « Goal: Weekly »... and then have 7 separate tasks called: « 10
000 steps completed » ... one for each day... with the « day specific goal
» connected to each.
If you know a bit about GTD, you should remember these: Day specific
information; Day specific actions; Time specific actions; and maybe Day
specific goal now.

[MLO] « Daily » goal!

[Luc Poitras]

Guys! Recommendation here
And still don’t understand why this « daily » goal is not implemented yet.
I believe/ suppose it would take just a few steps to integrate for MLO app.

Here is an example why this feature would be helpful:
Let’s say I want to walk 8000 steps today... 500 more steps than the 7500
steps I did yesterday. I would create a « daily » goal of 8000 steps, and
in the advanced filter, I would then group by goal.

Another example:
I want to ensure  to empty my inboxes... and I know I have multiple inboxes
(On desk, on Phone, emails, etc) So I would choose « Goal: Daily » in this
« Empty my inboxes » element.
And in my day view, there would be a goal group with the « Empty my inboxes
» and « Walk 8000 steps » in it... AND possibly the actions related also
appearing under them.

What do you think?
PS: Was thinking of creating a project with end date today... could work...
but wouldn’t it be more clear knowing and seeing this Goal daily group?
Thanks
Luc

Re: [MLO] Re: Gantt-type representation of projects

[Luc Poitras]

Without having read the responses here, have you thought of grouping your
tasks in « « work blocks »?
Ex.: I always loose control of house being clean and stuff...
So, the family and I decided to only allow 1 pomodoro (25 minutes) per day
for cleanup and putting back in order.
So, then and only when the cleanup pomodoro starts I will focus on this
aspect of my life.

And you figure it out, 1 pomodoro of 25 minutes every day, and you multiply
this by a factor of 3 (me, my wife and my daughter) its 75 minutes of it
per day.

Also, I have a context that I call « cleanup pomo » so I click on it when
the time comes... and the actions show up...

Hope it helps and makes sense to you!

Re: [MLO] Opening a view in MLO using Siri?

[Luc Poitras]

Anf if not, in mlo custom view settings, why not create a possible “say
siri” for every view out there?
Just an idea...
I can just imagine opening my “to-do today” view by just asking... and
opening in an instant my “august 2019” view to see what will be my active
projects then...

Re: [MLO] Re: Best Time/Life Organization Method to Use With MLO

[Luc Poitras]

Besides others, I like the idea of dropping tasks within related time
blocks, and also using the Pomodoro method.
For example, if I have a long list of tasks related to “home maintenance”,
I know I will have each day a 30 minutes Pomodoro (25 minutes of completing
tasks... + 5 minutes break) solely completing home maintenance tasks... and
when the 30 minutes is over, all tasks not completed wil be pushed to the
next day.
The time blocking method can for example be used for an important active
project. You can decide you will complete a Pomododo every day related
exclusively to THAT project... so you can be sure that at the end of the 5
day work week, you will have put 150 minutes of productive work exclusively
on that project...

Hope this helps!

Re: [MLO] Re: Question: How to indicate a Project's Status is a Someday/Maybe, MLO project properties or Context?

[Luc Poitras]

I think I just found a way that works FOR ME:
- I have a Workspace called "Projets en cours" meaning Active Projects;
- In this Workspace, in the AdvancedFilter, I have "IsProject is true";
- Based on David Allen's GTD, we should always do a weekly review, and within 
this weekly review plan the week ahead;
- Let's say we are sunday the 08 of mai today and I am doing my weekly review;
- I will modify the date of sunday the 08 to sunday the 15th of mai in the "To" 
within the StartDate Filter on the left, and leave the "From" blank to leave 
the already active projects intact.
- I also check the "Hide Undated" box in the StartDate Filter. And so, if I 
feel that an undated futur project should appear in the Active Project 
Workspace, I will then create a start date within this week for it, and this 
project will (from now on) appear in my Active Project Workspace.

Hope this helps,
Luc

[MLO] For the ones who want mlo on the Mac

I dropped on this by mistake, while searching in google. For the ones who

I suppose that this is an information that is already known by a lot of
you, and I am not "up to date" with the latest mlo developments... but here
it is anyways!
I just signed in!

And by the way, in the past few days, I tried AGAIN to use Omnifocus on my
Mac with exactly the same conclusions as my earlier trials:
Frustration\ I was not able to configure Omnifocus the way I wanted!!! And
it doesn't come close to mlo's configuration possibilities!

Re: [MLO] Re: Suggestion: New Group (or new forum) for MLO new users?

[Luc Poitras]

Hi John,
(On a very large scale here if I may), one thing is for sure: You are an 
intense guy! 
And please don't get me wrong here, my comment is not a critic that I am 
adressing to you, but being more of an observation.
And between you and me, I want to tell you this: I feel the same way!...
Things around me are not moving fast enough! Change around me is not happening 
at a fast enough paste! 
And if I understand correctly what you are saying, there is not (in this case 
the MLO community) enough sharing of knowledge, not enough interactions 
between..., not enough here is what I feel or think about this and that, and 
I would appreciate some feedback, and even more and more feedback if you will, 
and maybe also not enough Can we work this thing together (this powerful mlo 
app!) so we can build kind of an approach where we could minimally use it in 
a more functional way?
This is not an attempt here, on my part, to give answers.
And to you John, I say keep up the good work, we need guys like you to shake 
it up, and to provoque change.
And to the other mlo forum members who take the time to answer the questions, I 
just want to say thanks to you. I do not always follow where you are getting at 
when it turns more on the technical side of it, but I take what I can and try 
to make something out of it.

 You have a valid point that I am no longer a total new user - valid up to a 
 point. However unlike those who have been here for many years, the experience 
 is extremely fresh in mind, believe me.
 
 In truth I bear the fresh wounds in my flesh from a vicious attack from the 
 existing inhabitants, which was caused by my charging into a what appeared at 
 the time (compared to other forums for software with many millions of users) 
 to be half asleep forum but which turned out to be full of highly 
 intelligent/ thoughtful old-timers who objected to: 
 - my whirlwind of naive questions without reading the entire manual first 
 (even though yes I did do text searches for all relevant options that I 
 failed to understand!), 
 - my honest emotions including huge frustrations
 - my carefully considered suggestions as to how MLO might improve the user 
 experience... whilst it *was* fresh in mind at the time. 
 
 OK so when I was a new user I got grief for giving a load of new user 
 feedback (no matter how much I tied to ensure that it was constructive), and 
 now my new user feedback is no longer valid!
 
 In retrospect part of my mistake was to move my whole life onto MLO too 
 quickly. But in my defence nobody warned me - nobody said Don't move in to 
 MLO too quickly. I did this because I had a window for spare time to do so. 
 However approach this added huge amounts of stress because suddenly the 
 control of my entire life was... out of control!
 
 In fact perhaps like many other new users I was engaged in a time-limited 
 project to find a new productivity tool and I had already burnt up a fair bit 
 of time researching and evaluating *other* tools. This added yet more 
 time-pressure!
 
 *   *   *
 
 What I am suggesting is that a new users' forum is the place where new users 
 are encouraged to ask their necessarily naive questions. But that not ALL 
 experts will be expected to follow that thread, certainly not all the time 
 that is. They may not want emails rattling into their inboxes from new 
 users... BUT when they have a little time on their hands, yes they may like 
 to dip in and see what's going on with the new users.
 
 Of course SOME expert users may like to subscribe to the new users dialogues.
 But others may not. And by creating a physically separate forum for new 
 users, only then does it become possible for expert users to get an email 
 from every other expert but NOT get any from every new user.
 
 i.e. They can follow new users using different email settings for each group.
 
 And even if an expert user has subscribed to BOTH it saves a lot of time for 
 the reader to know up front whether one is dealing with a novice or a 
 seasoned user.
 
 Yes, obviously any user can discuss MLO anywhere that they choose... and they 
 could in fact start their own Google Group too(!). I have not done so because 
 although I also feel that this would antagonise this community. Moreover as 
 you point out unless it was officially sanctioned by MLO website it may not 
 get very much traffic. Although yes it would be some traffic from anyone 
 searching Google for MLO forum or MLO community etc
 
 If you or MLO are worried about people commiserating about how badly it 
 sucks you have two choices. 
 
 A) Step in and help show the way
 
 B) Listen to them! 
 What is it that is not being explained correctly? How are the user's 
 expectations being mis-managed. What do new users really need to hear so that 
 their expectations are in line with reality.
 
 In my case I needed to hear 

RE: [MLO] Cancelled Projects

[Luc Poitras]

For my part, I also have a workSpace titled Calendared projects. For me, 
these projects are not suspended or on hold, or Not Started, but are in the 
calendar for a futur date. 

And what I did is put in advanced filter the following rules :

Is Project;

Project status In Progress;

Start date after today.

 

Also, in General Filter, I have put Show Hierarchy :Yes. This way, concerning 
a futur InProgress project, I am able to add information directly from that 
WorkSpace.

 

So, the main reason I did this is to differenciate the Suspended projects 
from the already blocked in futur calendar date projects.

Just a question regarding project status. I would like to be able to mark a

Cancelled means that there are no future plans to work on the project. However, 
I don't necessarily want to delete the project. Suspended means the project is 
on hold until a future decision can be made. Is there a way to add a project 
status?

RE: [MLO] Cancelled Projects

[Luc Poitras]

…..But I also agree that having customizable project group names would make it 
much easier. 

The other thing I find confusing is that I seem to have too many projects in 
Not Started that should go instead in Someday Maybe. 

 

And I realize that just the struggle I have right now of trying to put a name 
on the project status explains why I would also recommend customizable project 
group names.

Totally agree with this suggestion! I am completely charmed with MLO; Nothing 
else approaches it! And I too get easely lost when trying to follow the

So, this unique software, combined with tutorials, would be even more unique in 
my own opinion!
PS: And obviously, the sales would go up 'cause people would see all the power

[MLO] A simple idea about goals! You tell me!

[Luc Poitras]

For me, weekly, monthly and yearly (goals) does not resonate. 
Would it be more appropriate to categorize goals within these?
This week, This month, or This year!
And I know we had discussions about goals before in this forum, but here I go 
anyways!

Example:
Plan the Christmas Holiday.
I decided that Plan the Christmas Holiday is no more a project of mine, but 
is instead a goal. 
The reason I changed it to a goal is because there is a lot of projects 
underneath it:
-Put lights in trees ouside;
- buy and decorate christmas tree;
- Decorate the center of dining table;
Buy gifts;
- prepare christmas food, etc.

So! Every single project here is grouped under Plan the Christmas Holiday

NOW, on this december 11th, if I had to choose between This week;  This month; 
This year, this goal would go, at this date, in This month.

...and when we get to, let's say, the 19th of december, I will switch it to 
This week...And on december the 26th, it will go in This year goal...

So, in other words here, Plan the Christmas Holiday is more of a This month 
goal, than a monthly goal, wouldn't you say?

You tell me if I'm in the You say tomato, I say tomato stuff here...I've had 
more than my share of Getting too much into details before!

Thanks!
Luc
And by the way, Happy Holidays!

Re: [MLO] Re: Just discovered a way to use goals wisely!…wisely for me I mean!

[Luc Poitras]

Wow Robisme...I totally agree with this one. The idea of having a goal for 
(to)day or goal for day would be awesome. But then again, having a goal for 
day, AND having the possibility of choosing which day of this week you want 
to complete that goal (which is different than putting a due date as you said) 
would be even more awesomeThis would be like (kind of) response to the 
need, a lot of us have, of implementing a calendar into mlo.

...Just trying here to push the idea of day goal a little further!

PS: I have the impression that some of you would argue that you can just put a 
star beside the task, instead of create a goal for day, but I feel that goal 
for day and starred would'nt have the same function!
But maybe I'm wrong! Haven't analysed this!

Thanks Robisme!

 Hi,
 Your post is starting to answer one of my questions : are goals goals for 
 this particular week, or a goal I use to take care weekly ?
 If this particular week, wouldn't it make sense to have a goal for Day, 
 so one could set his job for today and thus, having them filtered in the todo

  Hi! 
  Just want to share with you my discovery. I know a lot of you use goals, 
  and I read your posts about the subject. 
  But for my part, I never, until an hour ago, found a way to integrate this 
  aspect into my personal action management system. 
  So here it is, and you tell me if it makes sense: 
  - First of all, I am very GTD friendly; 
  - So when something needs more than one action to be completed, I check the 
  Project box in the mlo Properties...unless it's too easy to do; 
  - The problem I faced is that there was too much In progress projects on 
  my list; 
  - I tried before (lots of time) to just put the projects that I know I 
  wouldn't do this week in the Projects suspended, but for a mysterious 
  reason, it wasn't working for me...wasn't fluid enough...it's like if, in 
  my sense, a project is active (In Progress) or not active (Not started),  
  or completed, and nothing else! 
  - So my discovery is that at the beginning of the week, I take a look at 
  all my In progress projects, and the ones that I know I want to be done 
  this week, I put them as Goals this week...so they become both a In 
  progress project and a Goal this week; 
  - Beside all my other views in To do, I have one now called Liste de mes 
  objectifs pour cette semaine (List of my goals for this week); 
  - And in this view, in the advanced filter, I have  Goal=week; and I have 
  Action filter: Available (you can put Action filter: Active if you 
  want) 
  - In my Group and sort, I have Grouped by Top Project; then Grouped by 
  Project, then Grouped by context;  PSSS! Make sure you put Grouped by 
  Project , not Grouped by Goal ...You will understand why when you try 
  it! 
  - So, what I see in my Liste de mes objectifs pour cette semaine view, is 
  only the projects in progress (or active I would say) that I absolutely 
  want to work on, or finish this week...with their respective available 
  actions underneath. 
  - I am also evaluating now the possibility of always keeping the View: 
  Goals in Outline, instead of always having it on View: All tasks; And if 
  I want in Outline to work on something other than my Goals this week, I can 
  just switch back anytime in View: All tasks. 
  
  Hummm! just realised I could create a List of my goals for this month 
  view ,...meaning that here I would have available all of my In Progress 
  Projects\ Goals this month that I can't work on this week, or that are due 
  in the next few weeks. 
  
  Sincerely!

Re: [MLO] GTD contexts in an always connected world

Sorry for the delay Lisa in answering you're question a couple of weeks ago 
about me giving you more ideas in which I use the contexts in combination with 
the pomodoro technique. To be honest, I still struggle with this, and I'm 
stubborn enough not to let go of the bone until I find the wright approach. As 
soon as I have enough meat around that bone, I will let you know.
But then again, if I keep on attacking the bone in a stubborn way, there will 
never be enough meat to share!!! (ha! ha! ha!)

Started jogging again...helps me letting go!

 I want to thank all of you for your thoughts on Contexts. I'm finally getting 
 around to really sitting down and analyzing all the possibilities, and this 
 all helps. 
 
 I really do want to use Contexts in some way that actually helps me work. 
 (And for me my system also has to sync to Android).  I've switched over to a 
 combination of goals and starred for my prioritization (though I'm drawn to 
 the idea of focusing more on the Week than on each day, as Dave C discusses; 
 I'll reply to that email separately though).  
 
 Mikeaja, I think you have a good point; I can draw from GTD what I want, and 
 discard the rest.  What I find is that tweaking my system in itself is one of 
 my productivity techniques -- it keeps it fresh even without necessarily 
 adding functionality.
 
 João -- can you tell me more about your energy demand contexts and how they 
 help?  I don't think I can do too many types of contexts because the 
 Android app's filtering is a bit basic, but that one calls to me and I might 
 combine it with Luc's Pomodoro suggestion.
 
 Luc, I think the Pomodoro technique could really help me and I really 
 appreciate the suggestion.   I tend to be a yak shaver ( 
 http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/Y/yak-shaving.html ) -- yesterday I 
 reconfigured my phone's dialing system when I was really supposed to be 
 making a quick call for a haircut appointment!   I downloaded the free book 
 from http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/book.html  but haven't read it, only 
 the quick reference sheet. I like that it can be compatible with other 
 systems too. 
 
 If I understand you correctly, you have contexts that correspond to what 
 Pomodoro you group them into?  So cleaning cat's litter and watering 
 plants would have the same context?  I also think Pomodoro might be good for 
 grouping tasks into energy demands, that perhaps this could be built into the 
 Pomodoro Contexts too, maybe that is what you are saying?  After all, Home 
 chores often have similar energy expenditures, Landscape has different ones, 
 etc.
 
 Can you tell me what naming system you use for your Pomodoro contexts?  If 
 you have a bunch more than you listed (that are not work specific of course) 
 I would love any ideas.
 
 Also there are about two dozen Android pomodoro apps...I'm hoping I can find 
 one that doesn't try to do what MLO does but just acts as the timer part..
 
 Thanks again, everyone :)

 I actually have this pomodoro in my kitchen that I use, and once the 25 
 minutes is gone, it's finito, finish, the end, I stop doing domestic chores. 
 
 So, after I've taken a break by doing anything I desire, I can just start 
 another pomodoro that I have engaged myself to do every day, like personal 
 development studies. For example here, I listen every day to Steve Job's 
 vision of the world on You Tube (inspires me a lot; you can google it 
 easely)...and I read inspiring quotes in this daily personal development 
 pomodoro. 
 
 Now, what about the contexts in all this? For me, context is not just where 
 I am at the moment (place context), but also the kind of work I want to do 
 in this or that moment (situational context).
 I tried to mix both place and situational contexts, and put at the same time 
 in there the pomodoro technique, so it looks something like this:
 
 Home/ My daily (or today's) domestic chores pomodoro;
 
 Home/ Today's landscaping pomodoro (if it rains, I just skip it for that 
 day);
 
 Home office/ bill payments pomodoro (this context is open 24 hours each 
 Thursday);
 
 Anywhere/ personal study pomodoro.
 In this context for example, I have daily recurrence for my Steve Jobs 
 vision of the world; but I have quotes that are weekly recurrence (I just 
 find it's enough to read this or that on a weekly basis.
 
 ...I hope you get the point; I skipped some details here, not to get too 
 heavy!
 
 And hope it helps anyone!

[MLO] Just discovered a way to use goals wisely!…wisely for me I mean!

[Luc Poitras]

Hi!
Just want to share with you my discovery. I know a lot of you use goals, and 
I read your posts about the subject. 
But for my part, I never, until an hour ago, found a way to integrate this 
aspect into my personal action management system.
So here it is, and you tell me if it makes sense:
- First of all, I am very GTD friendly;
- So when something needs more than one action to be completed, I check the 
Project box in the mlo Properties...unless it's too easy to do;
- The problem I faced is that there was too much In progress projects on my 
list;
- I tried before (lots of time) to just put the projects that I know I wouldn't 
do this week in the Projects suspended, but for a mysterious reason, it 
wasn't working for me...wasn't fluid enough...it's like if, in my sense, a 
project is active (In Progress) or not active (Not started),  or completed, and 
nothing else!
- So my discovery is that at the beginning of the week, I take a look at all 
my In progress projects, and the ones that I know I want to be done this 
week, I put them as Goals this week...so they become both a In progress 
project and a Goal this week;
- Beside all my other views in To do, I have one now called Liste de mes 
objectifs pour cette semaine (List of my goals for this week);
- And in this view, in the advanced filter, I have  Goal=week; and I have 
Action filter: Available (you can put Action filter: Active if you want)
- In my Group and sort, I have Grouped by Top Project; then Grouped by 
Project, then Grouped by context;  PSSS! Make sure you put Grouped by Project 
, not Grouped by Goal ...You will understand why when you try it!
- So, what I see in my Liste de mes objectifs pour cette semaine view, is 
only the projects in progress (or active I would say) that I absolutely want to 
work on, or finish this week...with their respective available actions 
underneath.
- I am also evaluating now the possibility of always keeping the View: Goals 
in Outline, instead of always having it on View: All tasks; And if I want in 
Outline to work on something other than my Goals this week, I can just switch 
back anytime in View: All tasks.

Hummm! just realised I could create a List of my goals for this month view 
,...meaning that here I would have available all of my In Progress Projects\ 
Goals this month that I can't work on this week, or that are due in the next 
few weeks.

Sincerely!
Luc

[MLO] Found (I think) my best layout for use of mlo, everywhere, in windows environnement!

[Luc Poitras]

Hi everyone!
Before I start, I just want to say: Bear with me. 
And let me just say this! I'm sure that there are lots of people here who read 
the emails in this forum, who are passionate about using mlo, who see it's 
great potential, and who have great ideas that they sometimes would like to 
share...but don't because they can't compete with the knowledge, the 
experience of some of you here, or the fact that english is not there first 
and main language (like me for example; I speak french)... or wathever other 
reasons you might think of. 

So here goes, bear with me!

I am trying to find, for a long time now, the best tools, or layout, to be able 
to use mlo everywhere (home, office, on the road, etc) and always being able to 
use it in windows environnement: I just want to be able to use the full 
capacity of mlo, and that, everywhere I may be!!!
I've tried mlo on iphone, and tried mlo on ipad, and tried mlo with parralels 
on my Mac 27 inch (still use parralels on Mac, but dropped mlo for iphone and 
ipad cause feels for me too limited, compared to mlo in windows!)
That being said, I want to share with you what I think would be the best way, 
in my own opinion, to use mlo with windows, in all circonstances.

I just had a long talk with somebody I know who manages and owns in my region 
(Canada's National Capital) a relatively big company who sells computers and 
software to public and govermental firms. I was explaining my needs to him, and 
was telling him I was considering buying a tablet with windows environnement.
Tablet because:
- it's portable, and don't necessarily see myself transporting a laptop 
everywhere I go;
- because it would be kind of having an Ipad... with windows on it;
- and for a couple of other reasons.

So to get to my point here (sorry guys it takes so long) we came up with an 
interesting layout, considering that windows base tablets don't take much 
market place yet!

So...Not cheap but interesting layout:

Using the Lenovo Thinkpad x220 tablet. (there's a laptop x220 and a tablet 
x220). The tablet x220 is like the best of both worlds (laptop vs tablet).

So here is my scenario:
- At my desktop at home, I would clip my x220 tablet on the Lenovo dock (sold 
separately) so to work in mlo on my big screen;
- On the road, I unclip from the dock my x220 and it becomes my tablet I've 
always wanted; let's say I'm waiting at the dentist, I can still use the full 
capacities of mlo no problem;
- X220 tablet is touchscreen... obviously;
- If I'm in my living room and want to work in mlo, I can just transform my 
tablet into a laptop by turning the screen around.

...Am on a cloud right now because I can see all the ease of use of this 
layout, and for me, ease of use takes a large part in the decisions I make!

So, what do you think?
Any other layouts you think would fit my needs (full mlo capabilities 
everywhere!)
Now, don't blow my bubble here! (just kidding!)

Sincerely yours!
Luc

Re: [MLO] Found (I think) my best layout for use of mlo, everywhere, in windows environnement!

[Luc Poitras]

Thanks Mark for your response!
I heard about these ultrabooks! Effectively, they are not cheap!
And by the way, seems that the touchscreen will be much more efficient under 
windows 8, configured especially in part for the tablets, so that would solve 
at least that problem!
And lastly, about the battery life, seems that the 6 cells battery that comes 
in the box with the x220 tablet lasts about 7 hours, and if you switch to the 9 
cells, it will last for about 12 hours if i'm not mistaking.
Anyways, thanks again, and see you soon maybe in a coffee shop on the Byward 
market!

 Luc - it's funny to see someone else in Ottawa on this mailing list.
 
 I've been tempted by the same system but said no in the end:
 - Weight the tablet version is ~4lbs. Windows ultraportables must be less 
 than 3lbs
 - Battery life ~5hrs disappointing for the weight
 - Windows 7 isn't really touch screen friendly even the Android tablets get 
 this right.
 
 At the rate things are going I will likely likely purchase an Ultrabook this 
 year when I see one that meets my price point. The IPad is out not because of 
 the limited MLO functionality but because I can't readily edit my business 
 documents on it (my business runs on GIT) and because it's not designed for

Re: [MLO] Re: Found (I think) my best layout for use of mlo, everywhere, in windows environnement!

[Luc Poitras]

This is one of my next move Leigh. I gave a friend 20$ two weeks ago to install 
mlo on his ipad to try it out. Now, I'm gonna find another friend who has an 
android tablet , give him 20 bucks,  and try mlo on his android tablet.

PS: Am I missing something here! Actually, I would love to use mlo on ipad, or 
even maybe on android tablet, but seems the flags (I use a lot) and the 
Outline/To-do...don't exist. And when some great idea that needs elaboration 
comes to my mind, I need the full functionnalities of mlo NOW to process it. 
It's not that I'm a big baby and need everything now. It's just that my work 
schedule permits that!

 Something to consider, while not windows, is using an Android tablet.
 The functionality in android is more robust than an iPad.

Re: [MLO] Recurring SubTasks

[Luc Poitras]

 Lisa said:

 What I do is I have a grouping, Morning Routine, but each task has it's own 
 recurrence. Most of mine are set to recur 1 day after this task is 
 completed. This way, I don't have to catch them up if it has been a few 
 days.

For me Lisa, I prefer the idea of catching up on a series of tasks to get 
them back to today's date for one of these two reasons:

First, every time I get into the process of ticking the boxes and catch up, I 
automatically question myself if these recurring tasks have really there reason 
of being there. If not, I will need to change something in my routine, or 
delete some of them;

Secondly, if I find these tasks have really there place, the more I 'm not to 
date on these recurring tasks,  the more it creates a tension inside, and 
pushes me to find a way to stay up to date; In other words, it tells me to be 
more proactive!

Hope this makes sense here!

 Good morning,
 
 I found a post this morning that described my exact issue (however, I
 appear to not be clever enough to post to that same discussion).  I
 have a set of morning activities that I do every single day.  However,
 I am not yet in the groove enough to ensure I am acutally doing them
 every day.  I had created a Morning Routine item with my activities
 as sub-tasks.  I set the Morning Routine to recurr daily and mark all
 sub-tasks as uncompleted.  I certainly didn't understand why it did
 not recurr daily unless I'd done all sub-tasks the prior day.  I would
 like the ability to flag a set of tasks (or parent with sub-tasks) to
 effectively skip if uncompleted and set to today's date on recurrance.
 
 Thanks,

  Yes, I like this idea of expiring tasks that get marked complete

  task, as that would be a lot of work/change, but just an option auto
  complete this task.
 
  The same system for the alarms could potentially be used to trigger the
  expiration, and that would have an additional effect that if such a task had
  an alarm, it should go away when the task expires.
 
  One issue, though, is that I don't think the option can go in the advanced
  recurrence options box this way, because it would seem to apply to
  individual subtasks whose recurrence is inherited.  It almost would need to
  be another field, expiration date, separate from due-date, and if an
  expiration date were set, the task would be marked complete at that time,
  and all other recurrence options would take over from there.
 
  If we can narrow it down a bit further you could add it to uservoice and
  start collecting votes :)

[MLO] Dependancies with contexts, anyway possible?

[Luc Poitras]

Hi!
Just like you can have dependancies between tasks, how about dependancies 
within contexts.
Here is my simple example:
- I wake up in the morning, not out of bed yet, so here is context  Waking up.
- tasks like: 1-Do specific breathing exercices to reenergise; 2- writing down 
fresh ideas for projects while still in a pending or blurry state of mind 
(brainstorming); specific stretching exercices in bed to revigorifier.

Then comes the Getting out of bed context, where tasks like: 1- start coffee 
machine; make bed; prepare breakfast for the 3 year old; read journal; etc.

Then I have more contexts like these that follow, like Getting inbox to empty 
pomodoro and Cleaning chores pomodoro

So, there is a sequence here that obviously has to be respected, (for me I 
mean) like Getting inbox to empty not coming before Cleaning chores 
pomodoro context.

I want the appropriate contexts to appear, once the precedent context tasks has 
been completed!!!

And if I may, before somebody suggests it, the open and closed hours for 
context don't work because my work schedule varies, so I don't come out of bed 
necesseraly at the same time each morning.

In other words, I just hate having contexts appear that are not actionable in 
the present moment, but that will maybe be actionable in 10 minutes, once I 
clear the tasks of the present active context.
Thanks!
Luc!
Hope I am clear enough!

 Hi Luc,
 If you want to propose dependencies between contexts, you should write
 it up on the website at mlo.uservoice.com - if it gets a lot of votes
 it will be noticed.
 
 Meanwhile, as a workaround, I wonder if you have considered using
 projects instead of contexts.
 
 Imagine the following:
 [] Daily routine (project)
   [] Get up (project)
  [] Wake up (task)
  [] Get outta bed (task)
   [] Get started (project)
  [] Drag a comb across my head
  [] Find my way downstairs
  [] Have a cup
 
 Daily Routine is defined as a project that repeats daily, with all
 tasks regenerated on recurrence, and with recurrence happening when
 all tasks are complete. Everything else is defined as inherit dates
 from parent.
 
 Get Started is dependent on Get up
 
 When the day starts, the only active tasks (in this section) are wake
 up, get outta bed. When you have completed these two tasks, the
 project get up appears on your list and has to be checked off, but
 as soon as you have done this, the last three tasks show up. There's
 an added step of checking off the get up project but other then
 thst, it seems to do what you want.

Re: [MLO] Re: When will we start to see some design and not just marketing upgrades to MLO?

I agree 100% with Eli here, the mobile being just a tracking tool while being 
out. The big advantage of seeing it this way is that Andrey can CONCENTRATE on 
developping to the max. the desktop.

 Maybe its time to start focusing more on the feature set again, and

 What got me thinking about this was the lack of any kind of formatting

[MLO] Possible to automatically change status of a project...

[Luc Poitras]

Hi all!
Can any of you tell me if there is any way to automatically change the
status of a project. Here is what I want to do:

Folder: Project in progress

[MLO] ...change project status automatically!

[Luc Poitras]

So, here is the example again:

*Outline*
*Folder:* Projects in progress
 - Buy used car for my daughter (project status: In
progress)

*Folder:* Projects suspended
 - Plan trip to Vegas in september (project status:
Suspended)

Lets say I change my mind and I want to put the 'Buy used car...project' in
the 'project suspended' folder. Is there any way, via the advanced options,
that the status of the project changes automatically.

In other words: the condition is that any project that is placed under
Project suspended folder will automatically have a Project suspended status.

Thanks in advanced
Luc

Re: [MLO] Don't want actions from not started or suspended project to show in to-do

[Luc Poitras]

Thanks Lisa for your answer!
Worked out partially well!
The problem that occured is that ALL items (also those who are not part of a 
project) have a  not started default setting. So, that being said, when I 
apply what you recommend, the actions related to a in progress project appear 
in to- do, but all other actions related to a checklist (non project) 
dissapear, because of that default not started!
But wait (just have an idea here), if I switch to in progress all of my 
checklists, maybe that would work!
Thanks again!
Going to try this last approach!

[MLO] Don't want actions from not started or suspended project to show in to-do

[Luc Poitras]

There is something in the project management in mlo that is, in my sense, 
completely illogic. Tell me if there is something I'm missing here:
If I change the status of a project from In progress to suspended or not 
started, the actions related to that project should (automatically) not show 
in to-do anymore.
Or, at least, there should be a checkbox somewhere, giving me the possibility 
to work within mlo that way.
And by the way, I find it's one too many steps to 1) change project status to 
lets say Suspended and then 2) Hide that project's branch in to-do.
Any comments would be appreciated!

[MLO] landscape view for iphone

[Luc Poitras]

I understand that the iphone version just came out, and the list of to do's
for the mlo team is long, but I'm wondering if I'm the only one strugling
with the fact that there is no landscape view within the iphone app. I'm
having a hard time finding the information I want in my mlo outline cause
there is always missing half of the description. After just a couple of
words, these dots (...) appears and I don't have the time and patience to
click on each of the descriptions to see what it really is.

I suppose and hope this landscape view is gonna appear in the next version!

Anyone here wanting a landscape view for the iphone, just like a lot of
other iphone apps?

Thanks in advance!

Re: [MLO] Re: Recurring Tasks

[Luc Poitras]

I too use mlo as a calendar, and like Richard C, use the duplicate
function to generate multiple copies of the same task which I then
manually allocate to their future dates/times.. Would be very convenient to
be able to see the futur recurring tasks just by ticking a box.
Luc

2010/5/2 Richard C r...@rcollings.co.uk

 This has been much requested but does present some problems for those
 activities which are regenerated on the basis of when they are
 completed.

 However, the combination of the desire to see future recurring tasks
 and the fact that you can't easily adjust the dates of individual
 recurring tasks has meant that I have started using the duplicate
 function to generate multiple copies of the same task which I then
 manually allocate to their future dates/times.   I still use the
 current Task Recurrence mechanism for some tasks but it really doesn't
 work for me in quite a lot of circumstances.

 So I was wondering whether it might be possible to provide a tick box
 on the Task Recurrence dialog box which when ticked generates on
 commit a set of actual task instances.  This would allow the existing
 functionality to be retained (and it would be greyed when one of the
 'Regenerate' options was chosen).

Re: [MLO] Re: How do you save Hotkey settings for a view?

[Luc Poitras]

Talking about free apps concerning hotkeys, have any of you ever heard about
Activewords. If so, you think there's any added value of having something
similar integrated into mlo. I haven't used hotkeys for a while in mlo cause
I find them for my part to be too restreining. I would love to be able (just
like activewords) to type a keyword like ex: *zcl* and then press F8 (*z*oomed
view of *c*heck*l*ists folder in outline view)...just like
activewords...and a zoomed view of my checklists folder in outline view
would appear on my screen. The main purpose here is to had meaning behind
the active word I use so I don't forget it and secondly, having an infinite
choice of hotkeys to use to move from one place to another within mlo.
You tell me if I make sense here. This is just an idea!
Thanks!
Luc

2010/2/3 pottster kenwarren...@googlemail.com

 There is an excellent free app called ActiveHotkeys which tests your
 system for active Global hotkeys. I would stress that this finds
 assigned GLOBAL hotkeys, you would still need to check for conflicting
 pre-assigned hotkeys within MLO.

[MLO] Re: Feature Request: Save state of columns in search results

[Luc Poitras]

Agree with Luciano about column size in search functionality
Luc

2009/11/11 Luciano Passuello luci...@passuello.name

 Hi Andrey, all,

 I use the search functionality a lot. I love it, except for the fact that
 it doesn't persist the column sizes when I close/reopen MLO. I only care
 about the caption of the tasks (first column), and I must always widen the
 column so I can read. Ideally, one should be able to hide the other columns,
 but if that's not easy to implement, persisting the column sizes among
 instances would be a real time-saver for me!!

 Thanks!
