The "Hide in todo" will make a subtask inactive and hide the task from
views that contain only Active tasks, and will be shown in gray in the
outline. Even more useful, a task with children that are hidden, is itself
active, which parent tasks are usually not (parents with outstanding
children, that is). So if I have
PM Routine
Take supplements
Review tomorrow's schedule...
If the subtasks are hidden, "PM Routine" will be active.
I don't know how many tasks you should create but here's my
modified/inspired by GTD strategy. I don't break tasks down into component
actions in MLO until they are on the horizon. (or if they are recurring).
If I know steps that will be in the list I put them in the notes. So for
example, in our mold remediation project, I had "Get the ducts cleaned" -
clearly not actionable at that level of detail. But that couldn't be done
until all moldy materials were removed and a bunch of other things. I might
have a note with it, "need to solicit recommendations / look at schedule
dependencies" but I wouldn't break it down into steps until it was coming
up. The further the horizon, the less detail I have in my tree,
theoretically. (It's all a bit theoretical at this point for me; my task
tree is a mess, which those of you that know me can imagine is a rather
painful state for me :).
