Hi, Jacob. I can't suggest any way to do exactly what you are requesting but I might have a few ideas that could help. Two ideas, manual and automatic.
Manual: A lot of people have a daily (or nightly) review where they look at all of the things they might want to work on in the next day and pick out just the ones that they are committed to doing tomorrow, or that they believe they could or should wrap up tomorrow. A popular way or marking tasks as "in tomorrow's plan" is to turn on the star for each task. Then, the "starred" view will show you the things you have left to work on. Hint: only mark three tasks with stars and your view will show three tasks. This is pretty similar to the suggestion that Laurence has already made. Advantage: it's simple to understand and to do, and it is totally customized to you without much effort. Disadvantage: nothing happens until you go star your tasks. Automatic: Try using the "Next Actions" concept. This automatically finds the next task you need to get done, one per active project, and one for each folder of non-project tasks. You may find that you have more than three tasks per life-aspect but you can use Importance, Urgency, Due dates, etc to force the things you need to do first to the top of the list. Disadvantage, it might take some tweaking to get it showing what you want. Be careful that you don't end up spending more time tweaking than you do working on your tasks. Advantage: once you get it working, it will show you the things you should be doing with a mionimum of effort on your part. -Dwight On Monday, September 5, 2016 at 7:43:43 AM UTC-4, Jacob wrote: > > Hi, I'm new to MLO.
