I read a thread on this that was several years old with some good info in it. Since I am just starting out, I wanted to get this discussion going again to see how others are utilizing these different components.
In most, if not all, of the other task managers I have used, you had only one of these; usually project or parent task. So you used what you had for everything. I am hoping, if I use MLO, to start with a structure I can grow with. I know I can change things as I go along, but I also know that I have a tendency to build on the foundation I put in place. In addition to how you use these differently, I would like some perspective on the best way to start entering tasks toward this differentiation. Dump everything in the inbox and sort it out as I go or build a structure of folders/projects/ task-subtasks from the start. I tend to have more recurring tasks than anything else, but they can all be grouped in different ways. One thing I have always put in a project in other systems is called Housework, which contains a long list of recurring tasks with different periods. But since this 'project' is (unfortunately) never complete, should it be a folder or parent task. All input appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
