Another enthusiastic +1 for the ability to flag items to do TODAY. This is very important for perfectionists like me who tend to have too many task items and get overwhelmed at seeing a long list. In the morning I need to be able to pick a subset of items to do that day, and right now that's difficult in MLO. A flagging feature like the weekly goal would work great, although a general "flag" feature would also work, as long as we can filter on it.
