Thank you for the advice Dwight! Yes, I've seen you write that before about power users eventually returning to MLO (I've read hundreds of your posts, I consider them an extra chapter in the User Guide =P). And I believe you--I tried a *lot* of task managers before committing to MLO, and MLO was the only one that *could* do most of the things I wanted...even if I couldn't actually get it *to* do those things, or make the process efficient enough =P.
I will keep your suggestions in mind if I return. In theory, I would like to. But in practice, for the past couple weeks, whenever I've looked at MLO, I've been flooded with negative feelings, stemming from my frustration with the poor / incomplete documentation of things like "Advanced Filtering," and the many, many hours of wasted productivity. So I think I'll at very least need a long break where I actually get tasks done, rather than try ineffectually to manage them =P. Thanks for your help, best wishes!
