Big fan of the "Active, Later, Someday" approach that you sorta use in your 
deluge approach.  Not sure why you have a "Do this evening" list though?  Is 
that different work then the normal day stuff?

Big fan of a ToBeFiled subfolder in the Inbox.  Create inbox tasks, move 
them to the ToBeFiled when they are completed, or at least when you have a 
context assigned to them.  Which in your view looks like one of your paper 
page lists.

Not a big fan of assigning due dates to anything that doesn't really have 
one.  So you might want to think about adding a "due date" view to your 
digital page views.  To me that is the big advantage of MLO versus paper.  
Your tasks with real due dates can be in both your "do now" list and your 
"due date" list.  The "due date" list is your "safety net" to make sure you 
get them in your active list by the time you need to.

I don't think you should abandon MLO when you get deluged.  I just think you 
need to incorporate your "deluge" process into MLO.   And maybe streamline 
your normal MLO process.  Which seems to me to be NOT trying to assign times 
to work.  Just move the tasks between your context "lists."
