Hi. John. It sounds as though that would work for you. It would not work
for me because it would take too much effort to get and keep all the tasks
set to be projects that need it.

Hi Dwight
What do you think of my proposal to keep using the Next Actions, and to
make sure that all standalone tasks are given the Alt/J treatment (painful
but possible)?
That way any tasks within a genuine project that I wanted to do "Forced
Next" could be made into Projects too...

PS
Dwight I have found a major flaw in your proposal, for using Next Actions
which is that what you suggest only works in the *root* directory.
Whereas I am using a different folder for each of my Areas of Life. The
problem is that the Next Actions view in MLO hides all stand-alone tasks.
And MLO fails to treat tasks that are within a Folder as if they were in
the root directory.
The only workaround I can find is to manually make all my standalone task
become "Projects"! (This is slightly painful to remember to hit Alt/J for
every standalone task...).
Obviously if you make everything in sight into a Project, then the Next
Action view simply would simply shows everything in sight! So in order to
just have only the *genuine* next actions within each project become
visible in the Next Actions view, I would need to make sure that all
actions within a project are NOT be flagged-up as being also Projects.
This would be possible. Although given that I like to move stuff rather
fluidly between projects and actions this wouldn't be ideal.

On the up-side I guess I could manually flag any actions up as being
"Forced Next" actions (see my previous comment) simply by making any action
I wanted to see on the the Next Actions list become a project (e.g. using
Alt/J)
