Of course what I personally really want is an Area of Life (e.g. Work, Personal, etc) and an action status field (e.g. Active, Someday, Waiting etc) in order to make the GTD method viable on MLO. However the MLO interface is already so cluttered and confusing I can't imagine that I'll get much support for that.
Over the last year I must have tried about 8 different workarounds but all of them have horrible unintended consequences when you have a fairly large number of tasks. Conclusion: Without this suggestion in place, I can no longer use MLO. J On Tuesday, September 6, 2016 at 10:49:50 AM UTC+1, pottster wrote: > > Nothing new I'm afraid. This comes up periodically.
