Hi, John. Question: Do you have a copy of the User Manual? If not, I would
recommend that you get a copy and look through it. If you are having trouble
finding it, try Googling “MyLifeOrganized User Manual” - Most if not all of the
issues that you report as annoying or as deeply annoying would b
To get clear:
In MLO, it appears that the sort order of "Next Actions by Project" does
use the Urgency & Importance of the Project itself, even though it isn't
even showing those fields(!). In fact would argue that the fact that there
it fails to show the importance & urgency fields of the Proj

Yikes, er yes, you may well be correct!

Hi, John. It's my opinion that you are using "next actions" together with
"subtasks in order" where you should be using "next actions" only.
Next actions is implemented as: from each project or folder, show only the
first active subtask. "First" is determined by position within the outline. If
Any item that has uncompleted subtasks is considered inactive, so you won't see
a project's title in the active actions list until you have completed all of
its tasks. So, to see the project I'd recommend switching to the outline. My
favorite quick way to get there would be to double-click on t
It was my mistake to call "add task" a widget, its actually a shortcut. But you
find it in the widgets section of the task drawer. Unfortunately it is named
"shortcut MLO" so if you are looking at an alphabetical listing you have to
look under "s".

Hello
Can anyone tell me whether it is technically possible on Google Groups
(assuming we must stay using it) to have our posts be visible immediately?
And if so is it technically possible that we can EDIT our forum
contributions. (As can be done on most modern forums including David
Allen's
Obviously because I am new... that means in part I have no idea what I am
talking about. But partly it makes me a real expert in the NEW user
experience.
The thing is I develop/managed websites for a living and I too would regard
myself as 'above average' technically and I also have a strong sense
Dwight - I have been pondering your suggestion:

called “#calls” “#projects” “#financials” and “#compliance”

Those screencasts seem to have disappeared. :(
Are they still visible anywhere?

This is an IMPORTANT requirement for me... !

Either way in GTD theory it's extremely important to clear out your "In

Hi
I have a question about Next Actions.
Background:
In alignment with GTD theory, and to prevent overwhelm, I generally like
seeing only ONE Next Action (i.e. not the whole list of actions) per
Project.
For this reason I want essentially all my Projects to have "Complete the
subtasks in orde
Re dependencies - yes, I hear your. But setting up dependencies explicitly
sounds sensible for larger projects (unless you do the entire planning
elsewhere using dedicated PM software) however I IMHO, it is *way* too
painful for small/medium sized projects.
e.g. Suppose I have a Project with 8
Dwight - excellent. Lots of useful pointers.
A couple of points:
What is this Ad-Task widget on Android of which you speak? Is this part of
the MLO app or something I need to download separately.

Gotcha - thanks
I take it you mean "List view display mode", yes?
In my defence, I did have a quick look but couldnt find it.
My general suggestion would be to find a way to make the settings more
obvious.
e.g. To group them by category.
And for this particular setting why not just make all thre

No but we are discussing a significant part of the (newbie) MLO user

My firm suggestion is to move the forum away from Google Groups in favour
of better/more easily customisable (etc) software.

> Would this do what you want?
Maybe it will do - I'll need to think about that.
While I do so, what I will say is that as a general comment this is all
quite fiddly to set up!
I *think* I would prefer to have Area of Focus as its own field with a big
button near the top somewhere allowing me
Yuk. That's rather messy - and it doesnt toggle back to where you came from.
I mean if I'm editing properties (tags) I'd need to hit Control/Up then
Control/Down and to get back I'd need to hit Alt/2.
But I guess it will have to do. Good enough I guess.
Thanks

On Saturday, November 29,
An AutoHotKey script is one solution I suppose..., but surely it would be
much better if us users were able to set this sort of thing up.
For example I want to make all projects be "Complete sub tasks in order" so
that I an get to see a list of NEXT Actions for each project, rather than
ALL a
Let me see if I understand. If I want to delegete an Action (or project) to
someone called Fred for example, I would go the Action (using say "Active
Actions" on the left, and in the Properties ==> General I would enter the
tag "?Fred;"
So now if on the left of the screen I click on Filter ==
