I haven't been able to find doc anywhere, but looking at them it's not too hard to figure out.
However I wouldn't call them "Templates" so much as "Examples to copy from as you go along"; they have a whole lot of tasks, and that is cumbersome and confusing esp. if you are doing any kind of syncing that isn't just to another MLO for Windows instance. IMHO a useful feature would be to be able to mark subtrees to not be synced; although I'm new and might just be missing that, or it's probably already in the database and I'll go find it and vote for it :-) On Sunday, July 21, 2013 12:39:05 PM UTC-4, Danny Clark wrote: > > So I am a new user just starting to use the MLO program on Windows, and > the very first interaction I have with the program itself, it asks me to > choose a template, with choices "Traditional FranklinCovey", "Do It > Tomorrow", "Getting Things Done - Beginners Action", "Getting Things Done - > Zones of Focus", "Getting Things Done - Zoom for Focused Action", "Getting > Things Done with FranklinCovey Roles", and "FlyLady - Control Journal". > > I can't find even a sentence talking about what any of these are anywhere. > I've read GTD it was pretty easy to google for Franklin Covey and Fly Lady, > but the different "varieties" of GTD I can't find anything about. > Specifically I've used Google (looking in a lot of different ways), > searched in the mlo.chm help file, and looked in the ReadMe.txt. > > I read GTD a while ago, so it is possible he talks about these things, > just not using these exact words, but still, some doc would be nice.
