Hi!
Being an adapt of the GTD system, I still don't quite get the point of
using goals in MLO. I mean, I can set the due date within a week or a
month - well, then what's the point of using the "weekly goal" or
"monthly goal" property?
Would be nice to hear some conceptual explanations :D
thanks!

I don't like defining hard due dates unless they are actually real dates. Much of my life is defined in relation to other tasks or interrupts, so when I set a due-date that is not true, it often will go by without the task being completed. Goals give me a way to set a rolling target -- these are tasks that I would like to get to roughly within the next week or so. If something else higher priority shows up, I still want to do that task the following week.

So I guess for me it is something of a rough overall urgency marker, though I admit I haven't been using it enough recently.
