I agree with Fletcher that this is a big challenge for a single- dimensional hierarchical structure. By way of background, my major Outline branches are categorised by different areas such as 'Financial Planning', 'Fitness and Health', 'work' etc.. and I colour code all the tasks in these main branches so that it identifies them better in the To-Do lists. However, there are some tasks I have which are dated for the distant future (reminders to service a boiler for example, or review insurance arrangements). I don't like these cluttering my my Outline and put them in a separate branch "Dated To-Dos in the Distant Future". The problem is that this category doesn't fit with the same criteria as the others as it is defined simply by time - similar to your "Saturday Routines" category.
So my suggested solution would be the following. To have functionality to:- 1) hide branches from the Outline (in the same way that you can hide branches from the To-Do views) and 2) to be able to save specific Outline views. In this way, you could for example, create a Saturday Routines sub- folder in each of your main branches so that each Saturday Routine task is still associated with its relevant area of focus. And you could create, save, and recall an Outline View that shows only your top-level Folders and the Saturday Routines subfolders in each. You would also be able to create views which hide all Saturday Routine branches from the Outline if you dodn't want them to clutter up your overall outline. The Saved Outline views could be recalled in the same way that ToDo views are currently recalled. This solution seems to me to be consistent with the way MLO currently works.
