Hi guys, with a possibility to append a context to multiple tasks, I have just set up MLO for AF system while keeping the original hierarchy of my tasks. Here is how I did it:
1) Suppose you want to set up the AF system for your @Work context. Create a view named "autofo...@work Last Page" that shows active tasks for @Work OR (none) contexts. The To-Do list should contain now all the tasks you would want to write down in the AF notebook. Check "Add advanced" button and Add rule "ContextsText does not contain "!Page". Save the view. 2) Adjust the height of the MLO so it shows approximately 25-35 items 3) Press F8 and create a new context named "!Page 1". Got to its properties tab and assign a hotkey for it, e.g. Ctrl+Alt+P. Exit the Contexts setup 4) Select a screenfull of tasks and press you Ctrl+Alt+P. You have just filled in the first page of the AF notebook. 5) Press F8 again, remove the hotkey from he context "!Page 1", create a new context, name it "!Page 2" and assign the same hotkey for it. 6) repeat steps 4 and 5, creating contexts "!Page 2", "!Page 3", etc, until you have less then a screenfull of tasks left. This is the last page of your AF notebook. 7) Create a new TO-Do list view, name it autofo...@work that shows active tasks for contexts !Page 1 OR !Page 2 and so on. Set Group items by Contexts and save the view. The whole system is ready to use. Just use it as described by Mark Forster, and when the last page is full, create a new context and fill up the new page. All new created tasks will automatically appear in the last page view, and if you have not finished with a task, hit Ctrl+D to duplicate it, check one as done and remove "!Page n" context from the other. I hope somebody else can use my approach and to benefit from a very interesting and effective time-management system.

I know I can do bold, italic, foreground, etc --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
