I don't think anybody has told you to NOT to bother with forward planning.
I think people have told you that MLO is NOT geared toward what you want to
do. Future task planning is about three things:
What you need to do at certain times.
What you would like to do at certain times.
and
What you actually did at certain times.
I would love a tool that would allow me to overlay my plan on my scheduled
items. I'd love to have a dual view of my planned activities next to my
actually work. It's just that I don't see how MLO in its current
implementation can do any of that.
As I said before, MLO is really only setup to deal with a next action item.
In particular recurrences are NOT setup to do forward planning. There is
only one instance of a recurrence/rotation and they are based on due dates
(which they shouldn't be btw, they should be based on start times). For
future planning you would need a task for each future days recurrences. So
you would have to rewrite how MLO handles recurrences BEFORE you could even
begin to deal with "future planning" features.
This is also true for sub tasks done in order and with tasks that have
dependencies. None of those tasks will show up for a future plan.
So until Andrey rewrites MLO, I don't see how he implements what you are
asking for. And that is NOT me trying to be an Andrey apologists. I just
don't see how you get there from here with the current implementation of MLO
