messy fast and sometimes I miss things. I tried to switch to evernote
but that was not a todo system,

I use Evernote as well - that way I have just one place to keep "random stuff".

I will try to make MLO small with a custom view as you have outlined

The keys are you have to (1) put everything that is in your head into MLO so that your mind will stop worrying about it, (2) review the "big" list regularly for inclusion on the small one so that you trust your small list. The rest is just organization....my advice is not to spend too much time on that part up front, because you'll find what works for you best over time. Plus, tweaking the organization every so often is re-energizing :)

A while back, I moved all the tasks that are not "this year" into "Hide In Todo" branches. My most recent "tweak" was that I went through and marked all of the rest with a goal of Week, Month, or Year. I'm using those as general timeframes rather than "THIS week" -those are my flagged tasks). I review the Week goals along with my calendar each couple days (I have a daily task for that), and flag the ones that need to bubble to the top, or unflag ones that aren't as urgent. Then I made a task to review the Month goals each week, and another task to review the whole list each month. (I tried to do the whole list each week ala GTD but got depressed :)
