I see a couple of other folks have replied prior to be seeing this, but I
felt the need to chime in as well. I've been using MLO for many years, am a
BETA tester, and follow GTD. From my perspective:
1. Only a project needs a status, and MLO has that.
2. All tasks availability can be managed either:
1. Using an "@Someday" context to show it is not for now (and I have
MLO automatically format them in a color that appears greyed out)
2. Linked to another tasks that has to be done first and therefore
this particular task is not active
3. The child of another tasks, therefore this one has to be done
first and not the parent
4. In a list of tasks that are checked to be "completed in order"
5. Adding a start date to not show things prior to a particular
date/time
In all those cases, my list of active tasks is showing me what is available
to me. Then I use contexts to provide my GTD contexts.
As David replied, I too manage hundreds plus of tasks on Android and
Windows and follow the GTD system.
I've even added my own custom icons to make it quick for my eyes to see
various types of activities.
I wish you all the best!
