Hello, There are several issues, which I have expected to improve in MLO for long, long time. It is 1) prioritization of tasks (not importance/ urgency, but real ABC or similar prioritization method, over which has user full control) and even more important 2) filtering in tree view (based on this prioritization and other criteria)
What was always my problem with MLO – when my tree became too complicated (included all work and home areas, someday/maybe, area, long-term goals, deferred tasks etc) and had several hundreds of items, it was absolutely impossible to focus on tasks, which were important at the moment (e.g. week goals, A-priority…). Of course, I could filter and view them in to-do view, but in case I would be satisfied with not hierarchical to-do view, I would stay with Outlook. I just want to view only relevant tasks at the moment in my tree view, like Achieve Planner enables me to. I do not understand why so important feature has not been implemented yet, especially when basic filtering in outline is in fact available, although in very elemental way (you can filter out completed tasks from the tree view). I would like to ask other users or Andrey if they would consider this filtering important or what you do when the task lists become several hundreds items long and start to be too cluttered. I know, there are many ways how to get around this problem – to use several MLO files, to-do views, A,B,C folders as priorities. But why to compromise when other applications (even Outlook) can solve this issue very easily? MLO is best GTD application available in my opinion. But I am afraid that it only remains best application for GTD and will have very limited possibility for using for more strategic (vertical, 30000 feet or how to name it) goal and time management, which is impossible to implement in well-arranged way without implementation of priorities and filtering in tree view (and ad lib sorting of tasks in to-do view, but it is another problem). Because GTD is ingenious but there are also limits of this approach (especially with vertical TM), which could be avoid by combination with other methods (e.g. Covey) which require above mentioned features. Thank you for your opinions, replies or suggestions!
