Ah-ha! A minor break-through in my life. I have now put my folders into the following structure [Area of Life] then a dash then [GTD list name]... } all in the directory name.
So I have folders with the following names in the root directory: /WORK - DO ASAP/ /WORK - DO, BUT NOT YET/ /WORK - SOMEDAY MAYBE/ /PERSONAL ADMIN - DO ASAP/ /PERSONAL ADMIN - DO, BUT NOT YET/ /PERSONAL ADMIN - SOMEDAY MAYBE/ /RECREATION - DO ASAP/ /RECREATION - DO, BUT NOT YET/ /RECREATION - SOMEDAY MAYBE/ And then – here's the clever bit – I create views filtered by the advanced filter: Foldername contains [list name] e.g. A view with: Foldername contains 'DO ASAP' A view with: Foldername contains 'NOT YET' A view with: Foldername contains 'SOMEDAY' The result is that I get to see each list separately e.g. When I look at my "DO ASAP" view, I see a nice simple view of each Area of Life, *just* showing the "DO ASAP" lists, grouped by Area of Life. i.e. All I now see is: /WORK - DO ASAP/ /PERSONAL ADMIN - DO ASAP/ /RECREATION - DO ASAP/ i.e. I can easily open each folder in turn - which I move between simply by using the up/down/left/right arrow keys on the keyboard, and I will not even SEE the other lists (e.g. NOT YET and SOMEDAY) Also when it come to moving a project or task between GTD lists, that's fairly easy too: I just go Control/M and put it into the desired directory - which shouldn't be too far away. I still say it would better to have an actual MLO database *field* for "Area of Life" and another "GTD list", but the above makes it moderately easy to change GTD List (or even change Area of Life).
