Good question, I look forward to other answers as well.

I use MLO only for information relating to the task I have to accomplish,
for various reasons:

- Habit
- Once a task is done, I often don't keep it, so anything I want kept
around I put into a different system.
- I go by the philosophy, if an action only takes a few minutes, just do
it, so usually I send the small emails immediately
- If I compose an email I want to put in the To: and Subject: and can't
paste those easily from MLO
- I often work on multiple platforms and my drafts folder for
gmail propagates to all

If a bit of info needs filing (e.g. movie and book recommendations) and I
don't have time to do it immediately, I do put it in MLO.

On the other hand, this means that many tasks that show in email are not
integrated / captured in MLO for me, so I have two systems, which is not
ideal and drives me crazy but I don't have a good solution that I've been
able to maintain reliably.

I do OTOH keep all info related to my task system in MLO. Outlines of what
I want to do to rearrange my tasks, etc.

I use Evernote for persistent info/lists (except task templates, such as
packing lists which I use MLO trees as templates).
