Hi, Kelly.
First, do you have the user guide? You can download it from
http://mylifeorganized.net/downloads/files/MyLifeOrganized%20User%27s%20Guid
e.pdf
You probably want to read Chapter 5 thoroughly.
Briefly, there are several ways you can divide your tasks between work and
home. You could make a Work folder and a home folder and place each task in
the appropriate folder. You could create a context for work and a context
for home and apply the appropriate context to each task. There are other
techniques, such as flags. There's no "right" way. Folders are best for
characteristics where every task belongs to one and only one. If every task
is either "work" or "home" or "other" and no task is ever more than one of
these, folders are very handy. But if a task may belong to more than one
("call Mom" could happen anytime) then a context may be better.
Once you have your tasks categorized, go back to those tabs you created.
It's a good idea to leave the first tab as an outline of all tasks. Click on
the second tab, and now tell it to show only the tasks from work. If you are
using folders, find the "work" folder, click on it to select it, then from
the View menu select "zoom in". If you are using contexts, you need to set a
context filter to select only work tasks. On the left of your window you
should see a pane called "Views". If it's not there go to the View menu and
make sure Task Views Pane is checked. Click on the title at the top of the
pane (the word "views" and it will change to show you the definition of the
current view. Find a section called "contexts" and in it, click "work" to
select it. In either case, you should now look at the display, and if it's
what you want, you should click the "save view" button at the bottom of the
left pane, and save your new view as "work." Go to the third tab and do the
same process for "home".
This is just a start and barely scratches the power available to you. Read
the user guide then come back and let us know if you are having any trouble.

Subject: [MLO] New User requesting help....
Hi,
I just downloaded the software and need help navigating. I'd like to set up
one tab for work and one for home with a third as an overview or summary of
all other tabs created. However, any time I try to create a new tab it just
copies all the information from an already existing tab. Help would be
appreciated.
Thank you.
