Hi Lasse, Thanks for taking the time to share how you use flags on MLO. I think I'll give that a try to quickly dive into the higher priority items especially when my task list gets long from slacking and from life. I too agree that using the importance and urgency slider seems like a lot of work to really be productive and useful. I am so glad I stumbled upon MLO. There are no apps on Windows or Android that comes this close to complete as MLO. I don't always comment, but I find this community extremely helpful.
Have a happy Thursday!
