Hi John The hardest thing, imho, is to create a simple, easy to understand, TREE. Yes, I say TREE. The TREE is the base of your GTD system. But views, tabs, contexts are instruments which u use to obtain more benefits from the tree. The TREE has to be simple, intuitive and easy to view. You dont have to feel any discomfort when you look at it. If instead you think that the tree is complicated then you may STOP at this moment, don't play with views, tabs and so on. GO BACK to the tree and try to simplify it, reorganize it. If you think that you achieved what you want, and the tree is perfect, then leave it for 1 day. Look at it again the next day in the morning, then in the afternoon and also in the evening. Do you think it's also perfect as before?? If yes, then slowly, step by step play with Tabs, Views, Contexts but remember to not make significant changes to the tree in a hurry. To create a system that works for you is a hard thing. That's why don't hurry, but step by step try to improve your tree, and when you think that it's perfect, only then, play with views and tabs.
Ps The Tree may be customized using different fonts for top parrent, using diffenent colors for urgent tasks, using icons instead of classic folders example http://kraevoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/autoformat_2014_06_26_08.jpg use CAPITALIZATION for top folders instead of normal text and so on... But at the base of any tree is the information and not the formatting. So, try to search in this group for examples of use, to see more examples of trees. Also play with templates offered by MLO Application(menu file/new and then choose a template). Browse also the mlo blog, Andrei (the developer) posted a topic about his MLO tree. Read also more carefully the MLO help file (press F1). I wish you to not hurry but to build your perfect system step by step.
