My favorite feature of MLO is the Rapid Task Entry. If I have an idea or
remember "I've got to do this thing" or "oh, read this article" I toss it
into the Inbox so I don't get DISTRACTED or sidetracked.
But then I end up with 100's of things in my inbox. Organizing those tasks
and moving them
Looks like that did the trick.

I just installed MLO on my new PC and noticed the GTD example.
I really like the Getting Things Done approach but don't want to go down a
rabbit hole investigating Productivity P0rn .
So I'd like to see how well it works before spending a lot of time learning
that interface.

If I create :

Task1
Task2

And have a To-Do filter which says do not show tasks that have
Uncompleted Dependencies, it shows me Task1 and Task2. The *filter*

BTW, I tried making the top level project "Complete sub tasks in

I don't see a way to force a completed task to display.
