Hi Lewie. welcome to MLO - I'm sure you'll like it.
The inbox is a great way to quickly capture a Todo and I use it regularly. You can assign it to contexts as well as dates as you create it using the quick entry box but you can also tell it what folder or Project it belongs to. You click the "Parent" button at the top of the Rapid Task Entry Box and it opens up your full MLO Structure and you can choose where it should go. I don't use this as often as I should so I have too many todos in the inbox. Try to get into the habit of using the "Parent" button for most tasks. I still like to send them to the inbox because it gives me a chance to review the inbox and add more comments or settings to the task before it gets 'lost' in the project. For example, I could be on a phone call with someone and make "Action Notes" in the Rapid Entry form during the call. At the end of the call (or later ...) I can go to my inbox and start assigning contexts, due dates etc to each task. This method allows me to concentrate on the call but also make actionable notes that I know I will not lose. I hope this helps a little Steve On Wednesday, 2 October 2013 16:22:53 UTC+1, Lewie Dunsworth wrote: > > I collected tasks in my inbox, assigned due dates, but they are still in > my inbox.
