Hi, John.
I _think_ that I understand what you are after. You want a single report that
shows the next actions per project, selected according to the algorithm that
everyone uses and understands for next action selection, *and also* certain
other tasks that do not at this moment meet the cri
The "Hide in todo" will make a subtask inactive and hide the task from
views that contain only Active tasks, and will be shown in gray in the
outline. Even more useful, a task with children that are hidden, is itself
active, which parent tasks are usually not (parents with outstanding
children, tha
Hey J,

You are not supposed to list absolutely every task.
David Allen often indicates that some of his most inspiring actions and
projects never made it to his lists.
More generally, you are dealing with two sep

MLO already shows the *active* actions, i.e. those that it thinks *are*
actionable (e.g. no start date or start date passed, context not closed).
How do you distinguish between "actionable" and "genuinely actionable"?
There must be criteria.

Sorry I'm obviously not being clear enough.

I'm afraid that there isn't much automation of parameters in MLO. Most
parameters are not linked to each other, there are few options for setting
behaviour or inheritance and adjustments have to be mostly manual. I've
suggested more custom options for inheritance in the past, but these

Oops, yes i meant Alt-D (select due date field), then Del (delete the due date
so that task has no due date). Thanks for pointing that out, Lisa.
I don't find I need to do this often, because my tasks don't often get
relegated from actions with a due date to Someday/Maybe items.
Thanks for the
Hello John,
I think that MLO has enough optional parameters and advanced filter functions
to be able to do what you want in more than one way.
Firstly, I'll say that what I understand to be your need gies beyond what a
plain vanilla (paper-based) GTD system would give you. In GTD, you write dow

Maybe but if so I'm still not sure what Alt-D, Delete does... (!)

Thanks - yes I am aware of the "complete subtasks in order"
functionality... but that definitely isn't what I want either(!)
To recap, for most of my projects, in accordance with GTD theory, I don't
want to see ALL my upcoming Actions for a project (as this is overwhelming,

I had the same thought about Control-D. I think Alt-D was what was meant,

I really have to find time to play with auto formatting and icons more.
Sounds like a good refinement.

One problem I was having with the folders is that I was being over-whelmed
with too much what was if fact rather low priority stuff clogging up my

down in some folder somewhere.

But MLO does not force you to use that view. You can easily duplicate
it, rename it to "Active Actions by Project", and then change "Next
Actions" to "Active Actions" in the section Filter -> General.
In this view, you will see all active acti

i.e. Yes MLO forces you to work in a strict sequential manner, only
seeing ONE Next Action per project, /when you are using the Next Actions

What is the best way that you have found to create a GTD Sometime/Maybe
list?
For me, every task that does not have a due date or goal (week, month or
year) set is a "sometime/maybe".

Does it? You can check "complete subtasks in order" for every project.
By default it is unchecked, so I wonder how you got this impression.

Hello John,
I use the outline structure to group my tasks into the following hierarchy:
Areas of Focus (personal, home, work, community),
Roles (husband, father, friends & family, project engineer, team leader, SCADA
specialist, etc),
Goals and Projects,
Sub-projects and tasks.
