Hi Doug, Based on past conversations. I am certain that some members of this group do use the urgency field to help them get their To-Do lists in the "right" order. But if you have a strict ordering sequence in mind, this approach may frustrate you. For example, if you want a certain task at the t

Hi Doug, I am a practioner of the Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology, and as such, I do not use due dates for any of my tasks unless they truly do have a "drop-dead" due date. Your comment seems to indicate that a "weekly goal" must have a "due date" within the next week. That is simply not the

2010-01-07 Thread Ron Stockfleth
Setting a task as a Weekly Goal is not the same as expecting it to be completed sometime in the current week. There is no direct correlation between dates and goals. I do not date my tasks unless they truly are due on a specific date, so most of my Weekly Goals do not have dates. Conversely, if a t

The open/closed context functionality works exactly as I expect it should, and exactly as you expect it should as well. For example, I have a context called @Errands that has open hours from 8am - 9pm. So if I have an active task called "pick up milk" for instance, with a context of @Errands, that

The project or task does not appear when a StartDateTime is set to tomorrow, because you have the Action Filter set to "Active". By definition, a task that has a StartDateTime of tomorrow is not active. I suspect you get similar results for DueDateTime because you also have a StartDateTime of tomor

Hi Dave, Perhaps you misunderstood "ladsr777's" response to you. F4 inserts both the current date and current time. Many of MLO's shortcuts show up in the menu selections. For example, if you select Edit/Insert, you will see the shortcuts for Insert Date/ Time, Insert Date, and Insert Time. Ron

Hi Ruby, The reason that tasks that have a start date of tomorrow are not listed is because you have the Action Filter set to "Active". Tasks that have a start date of tomorrow are not "active" by definition. Set your action filter to "Available" or "All", depending upon your needs, and you shou

Don't use the Next Actions filter if it bugs you. If you look up in MLO's help file, it will explain that the Next Action filter will place only one (first) active task for each project. If you do not want this view, then try another approach. If you use the Active Action filter in combination wit

Hi Jeff, A1: Yes! My guess is that you have the Action Filter set to "Active". The "Active" Action Filter is designed to show only tasks that are actionable right now. By definition, any task with a Start Date of tomorrow or later is not yet actionable. If you change your Action Filter "All", yo

You can get a project to be 100% complete by completing the project parent task. When I complete the last subtask of a project, most of the time I am not done with that project. It is helpful to me that a project shows up in the To-Do view, as that is a reminder for me to define the next action st

You enter a task or subtask, and then in the Properties pane, you check "Folder" under Task To-Do Visibility. Note that this will make your item a Folder, which is simply a container of tasks (i.e. it will not show up in a To Do view). Ron On May 27, 4:28 pm, Alexis wrote: > in the Outline like
