Hello Lasse, Just to add to the mix: I use a combination of Steven Covey's 7 habits of highly effective people and David Allen's GTD system. My tree structure has areas of life at the top (personal, home, work, community), then my roles in each area, then a mixture of goals and projects. Goals are those I set myself or ones set for me for the year, in my annual progress review with my boss. By organizing projects under my roles and goals, I try to make sure that I'm prioritizing those projects and activities which align with my goals.
I MLO, I use the annual goal tag to identify my goals (which brings up a target icon in position 0, in my Automatic Formatting rules). Does that help... or just confuse things?
